What if we have another 911?
God forbid we should have another 911. We should never have to go through anything like that again. Of courtse!

But what if we have another 911 before the 2004 election? Will Bush use that and say, "now more than ever you need me as your president." Will another 911 hurt Bush or will the so-called "liberal" media spin it like they never have spun anything and use this to show how strong Bush is as a leader and that we all need to vote for him? Or perhaps will people of this country ignore the liberal media and say we need another president who can truly defend us?

By the way, lets assume for this post that there would be a 2004 presidential election if another 911 happends.......

1. We can't rule it out
I don't think we can rule this out. I don't think Bushco is above something like this.

2. another tragic event could hurt Bush more than help
he's been touting all of his crap from the dept. of homeland security to the war in Iraq as making us safer, he actually said that we would be safer with Saddam gone, so if another attack happens on his watch then he could be seriously damaged.

I for one think it could happen at any time but but pray it won't. It could happen anywhere at anytime. It's something I try not to think about

7. Once again, you and I agree. WHO ARE YOU?!?
LOL, j/k.

Most Repukes here where I work love to tout that * has "kept us safe" as in no further terrorist attacks.

Another 9/11, or even an event not quite so big, destroys that "selling point" of this mis-administration.

5. Strange you post this
because I've had this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach for some time now that this is going to happen this year. * keeps saying we are safer now, so if this happens I to am wondering how Americans will feel about *. My first thought would be that they would not trust him anymore. It would certainly show he did not do his job.

6. Funny you should mention it,
yesterday in the local rag, a patriotic American pointed out that since we haven't had any more terror attacks, this proves * is a good leader (gag). So, using this logic, if we have another terror attack, the blame should fall squarely on *'s shoulders. Of course, logic is not a repubic's strong point.

9. It seems like Bush's
selling point and reason to vote for him is the following:

VOTE FOR ME CAUSE YOU ARE NOT DEAD, YET!

10. I'd Be More Concerned About it if Kerry Wins
I wouldn't put it past the admin to leave Kerry a little (or not so little) surprise...

The worst thing for the Chimp would be for another attack to happen on his watch.
