Do the people really think * is better on terrorism??
Supposedly polls keep showing that -- but how? why? It doesn't make sense. What has he done in his entire life that would give anyone any confidence that he could handle anything, much less something as complex as terrorism? Was it his actions on 9/11/ On the day or two after the attacks? In the years since? In going to war in Iraq? In having OBL show up on tape on Friday? Just what in the world would give anyone any comfort in this guy?

Seriously.

2. Millions Of Americans Think McDonalds Is Nutricious Food... WHY?
because of the enormous amount of money spent on advertising.

Television tells many people what to think.

5. Hell NO!
It's just a "mantra" or a "meme" pushed by the mainstream media. The media does this often. I remember that Wes Clark was a "bad" campaigner, Edwards could talk owls out of a tree, and Graham was just a bit loony. Micheal Moore supports terrorists and Kerry is "aloof".

These mantras have no real truth to them.....but the propaganda is used and works anyway.

the majority of Americans are too stupid or busy to know any better.

It is the media that allows these Meme to spread and be perpetuated....at America's detriment.

6. After reading the CBS article how can anyone
believe not only that Bush can keep us safe but that he even wants to. I posted this story earlier but it didn't get much of a response but it totally amazed me.

2 More Iraq Arms Stashes In Focus

In its Oct. 6 report, summarizing a fruitless search for banned weapons in Iraq, Duelfer's group disclosed that widespread looting occurred at Muthanna, 35 miles northwest of Baghdad, in the aftermath of the fall of the Iraqi capital in April 2003.

A little-noted annex of the 985-page report said every U.N.-sealed location at the desert installation had been breached in the looting spree, and "materials and equipment were removed." ......

7. According to my repub-Faux-watching father in our fight on the phone today

He said Kerry would have let those "munitions" in Iraq get into the hands of the terrorists.

I reminded him that the terrorists now DO have them and they are using them against our own soldiers.

He said...let me put your mother on the phone.

8. People are stupid, and we didn't take any stand
Dem leaders didn't bother to make the case against Bush's disastrous foreign policy. We rolled over at every stop. So people out there think Bush is better against terrorism.
