She said a speech by presidential adviser Karl Rove two weeks ago showed the GOP election message is: "All we've got is fear and we're going to keep playing the fear card."

In that speech, Rove suggested Republicans can prevail in 2006 by showing Democrats had undermined terrorism-fighting efforts by questioning Bush's authority to allow wiretapping without getting court approval first.

Clinton said a convention of United Auto Workers that Democrats should not be afraid to question Bush's handling of the war.

"I take a back seat to nobody when it comes to fighting terrorism and standing up for national homeland security," she said.

1. Bush has proven time and time again that he needs adult supervision

He more than any President before him needs to have his actions monitored and approved by legitimate government bodies such as courts and legislatures. Rove's comments show that he isn't interested in doing what is best for America (checking our out-of-control President), but rather Rove is interested in doing what is best for his circle of friends. Selfishness is not a virtue.

"...Rove suggested Republicans can prevail in 2006 by showing Democrats had undermined terrorism-fighting efforts by questioning Bush's authority to allow wiretapping without getting court approval first."

"Clinton said... ...that Democrats should not be afraid to question Bush's handling of the war."

"I take a back seat to nobody when it comes to fighting terrorism and standing up for national homeland security," she said.

She added, "Since when has it been part of American patriotism to keep our mouths shut?"

2. the repukes' use of "fear" is exactly like domestic abuse ... so where the

hell are any of the Dems to stop this shameless abuse and show us courage???

?? you remember courage??

Courage is NOT the absence of fear::

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear,
but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he
who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."
Nelson Mandela

"Courage is resistance to fear,
mastery of fear, not absence of fear."
Mark Twain
