Campaign of Fear

posted to: Politics

Yow. So now they just openly admit that their campaign is based on scare tactics. Wake up, people! From the New York Daily News:

"We want people to think 'terrorism' for the last four days," said a Bush-Cheney campaign official. "And anything that raises the issue in people's minds is good for us."

A senior GOP strategist added, "anything that makes people nervous about their personal safety helps Bush."

He called it "a little gift," saying it helps the President but doesn't guarantee his reelection.

Come on. What more convincing do you need???

It would be nice if we had a president that didn't need constant coaching, really it would. You'd think that given the vast number of "alliances" W purports to have forged, he'd be able to pronounce some foreign names. Guess not:

Evidently, the official UN transcript is the exact speech that Bush read off the teleprompter. My reader says that nobody who works there can ever remember a leader having to have words phonetically spelled out before...

Believe it or not, I discovered this snippet while looking at photoblogs. Gotta love the interweb...

Read about more political stuff and grab a PDF transcript of the speech in question over at Hullabaloo.
