Fear Mongering
Recently, Rudy Giuliani remarked: “If a Democrat is elected president in 2008, America will be at risk for another terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11, 2001... Never ever again will this country ever be on defense waiting for (terrorists) to attack us if I have anything to say about it. And make no mistake, the Democrats want to put us back on defense!”
Bush, not the Democratic Party, has failed our country by never capturing Osama bin Laden the true culprit of the 9/11 and creating many more terrorists by invading Iraq.
Giuliani has taken a page from Bush/Cheney's playbook by using fear mongering to gain support. A majority of voters didn't buy that proposition in the 2006 midterm elections, and they're not going to buy it in 2008.
Giuliani claims: “America will be safer with a Republican president.” and threatens the American people with “casualties” if a Democrat is elected president next November.
Giuliani’s record is nothing to boast about. He has no foreign policy experience whatsoever. On Sept. 11, 2001, his party held the presidency and he was the mayor of New York City. Giuliani was elected mayor eight months after the first attack on the World Trade Center, but did not emphasize counter-terror for the next eight years.
He and his party assured New Yorkers that the air quality was safe and the remains of the dead would be recovered, but that didn’t happen. His party rode roughshod over our civil liberties, while claiming it was protecting them. His party took our nation into the most counterproductive, ruinous war in our history.
Not only have the Republicans not lived up to their yammering on making America safe, but last fall the voters called them on it. Americans are sick of the terror-mongers trying to frighten us into surrendering of our rights, reason and into a betrayal of what this country has stood for.
The words Franklin Roosevelt spoke 74 years ago still ring true. “We have nothing to fear but fear itself ”. Republicans like Giuliani, have cynically exploited fear, for their own selfish, personal gain.
