Politics of Fear
Dwight Eisenhower said: “I think that people want Peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of their way and let them have it.”
Vice President Cheney is the designated attack dog for the Bush regime. Cheney’s comments concerning Ned Lamont’s victory in the Connecticut Democratic primary were that it would encourage those, who want to “break the will of the American people in terms of our ability to stay in the fight and complete the task.”
Ned Lamont's victory over Joe Lieberman in Connecticut scares Republicans because it demonstrates that a free and independent people can hold entrenched public officials accountable for their words and deeds.
Cheney's comments show that strategy of the Republican party is to repeatedly insinuate that anyone who votes against them is giving aid and comfort to terrorists. It's obvious that they lack basic respect for our fundamental freedoms.
The Bush regime is for free and open elections, as long as they turn out their way. They’re for free speech provided it supports their agenda. They’re for the rule of law as long as the law does not prevent them from doing whatever they want to do.
The Democrats of Connecticut spoke out clearly in favor of change. Ned Lamont will stand up for the people of Connecticut, and insist on reasoned foreign policies and homeland security ahead of the politics of fear and failed schemes of imperialism.
Hopefully, voters are ready to replace congressional Republicans that let years go by without demanding the implementation of the recommendations of the bipartisan 9/11 Commission to keep us safe. We must elect people to Congress that will challenge the policy on Iraq that has drained our resources and weakened our security.
The November election offers an opportunity to say: “Get out of the way, because you are no longer allowed to use fear to cling to power.” As Will Rogers said, “It's no disgrace not to be able to run a country nowadays, but it is a disgrace to keep on trying when you know you can't.”
