FEAR



Yesterday, I was watching Sean Hannity on Fox News saying that Lieberman would have won if the Connecticut primary had taken place a week later and I had similar thoughts with the author of that post.

It has become nauseating seeing the right-wing extremists raising their hopes for political recovery whenever there is a terror-threat to this country. In the same Fox News show yesterday, Dick Morris said that he expects the numbers of approval of president Bush to go up after the terror threat. Why? Because according to him, Bush is strong on terror and the public realizes it. Oh really? How can someone be strong on terror when he considers fighting in Iraq the center of the war on terror?

There is no question that the democrats are far stronger on terror, for a simple reason: they really understand the nature of the problem. On the other hand, the extremists of Fox News seem to like a lot using fear for political advances.
