Terror levels

Is it beyond the ken of anyone that Bush, the DHS and other neo-conservatives are whipping up the populace in a way that is so morally disgusting and upsetting?

The terror threats come and the threat level for specific cities rise. Meanwhile, the Democrats just concluded their Convention.

Now, whether the Dems were going to get a bounce or not is immaterial. It is a matter of fact that Bush and the 'Publicans mean to "run on the war" meaning Iraq and terrorism. It is also a matter of fact that people who are afraid of the "big bad" tend to vote 'publican - witness Ike after Korea, Nixon during Nam, and Reagan during the Middle East crisis (Bush rode the coat-tails). This may be a leftover of "Truman lost China" in '49, but it still pervades the American consciousness that 'Publicans and their pro-military stance make for a stronger country when they ('Publicans) are in power.

Bush has already promulgated the idea that the terrorists want to shake up the road to the election (which makes no sense at all due to the fact that if it were to happen, Americans would not flee the party of Bush, but instead embrace it - the overwhelming majority of Americans still support the "War on Terror" even if they do not support Persian Gulf II). Also has been put forth the idea of "delaying the election" if necessary.

So take it for what you will. Personally, it's just more BU--SH--.
