Campaign of Fear
posted to: PoliticsYow. So now they just openly admit that their campaign is based on scare tactics. Wake up, people! From the New York Daily News:

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???

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.
