Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

>>>The difference between the Republicans playing the 9/11 card and Kerry playing the war hero card is that, unlike Kerry, the Republicans aren't rewriting history.<<<

If that's the only difference you see, then let me help you see the bigger picture. Republicans are pounding away on terror and 9/11 for two reasons:

1. They have no other issues to talk about that has broad appeal.

2. It keeps reinforcing fear in the electorate which makes them gullible and easy to control.

Millions of people lost their collective heads on 9/11 and still haven't found them. Look at Ed Koch, lifelong liberal who yesterday stated he disagrees with Bush on every single issue except the war on terror but that's good enough for a vote for Bush. Just the kind of irrational thinking the right is creating with the 24/7 drumbeat of fear and they may well win the election with it.
