I have to support Fred, as anyone with a de facto slogan of : Secure the Borders, Punch the Hippies, Kill the Terrorists is a true winner in my book.
I doubt this impacts 300,000,000 Americans in their daily life ! Kill the terrorists ? That's what Bush has been trying for several years. Result : ben Laden still alive, Iraq is a failure (still terrorist actions and no stable foreseeable future as of today). Failure. I'd myself be more concerned with talks about jobs, social security and housing. But I guess the subprime crisis (impacting a lot more people than the terrorists will ever be able to) is not important ? I think it's a national tragedy, it reveals the completely shocking nature of how the country takes care of its own (second-class) citizen. Terrorists ? They will be fought whatever the President is. Tis just a slogan, just like "-25% on sausages during the next hour" at the supermarket.
