It's apparent that BushCo will instill terror in the voters' heads to win
The question is, what do we do about it?

Do we have people like Michael More, Howard Dean, and Theresa call them out and predict a terror alert or Osama's capture? Will this soften the impact of fear?

Do we press ahead with the 9/11 investigation to try and indict BushCo pre-emptively?

Does Kerry level out the BCCI charge and try and gain an advantage in the fighting terror department?

Whatever happens, the case against Bush has to be VERY strong for the public to turn towards Kerry in the event of another attack.

There are many intelligence operatives out there who believe this will happen. It scares me to death. We need to do something about this.

1. Back to Basics
The ONLY way to handle the BushCo scare tactics is to FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE. That is, Kerry's gotta hit back with his own fear campaign! Fear of unemployment! Fear of downsizing! Fear of outsourcing! Fear of Pubbie repeal of the Social Security Act! Fear of Pubbie deficits!

Read/Listen to FDR's "Four Freedoms" speech. The fourth item is "freedom from fear," irrational fear instilled in the populace by Pubbie warmonger hatepeddlers.

It's all in framing the issue, baby.

"It's the Economy, stupid."

3. Fear for your life trumps them all
If there is another attack, Kerry has to put the blame on Bush right away. I just hope all the insiders are in tune with what is happening by now, and be looking for this kind of thing.

4. I heard Teresa said OBL would be "found" end of October.
Sorry I can't tell you where. I kept falling asleep during the "news" .
