Come on folks, didn't we all expect this to happen?

1. yes

it just seemed something like this was going to have to happen before the convention/election. Nonetheless, it is frightening even though I have a hard time believing it is a valid threat. My concern is that this administration will actually do something and also that at some point they might coincidently issue a warning and something really happens.

On the other hand though, once someone explained to me why people would vote for bush if there was an incident, but even though it made sense, I think, especially now that Kerry does look so strong, it would backfire.

This is a horrible way for us to live. Democrats, republicans, ralph nader (ego-icans) at each others throats. And the lies and more lies and obvious lies day in and day out and some people believe them that if they are given proof that it is a lie they will get so angry they almost lose their minds. And mary matlin, novak, and others like them who have no integrity at all anymore. The media says the most outrageous things with no shame felt. And why does the media people do this. Are they not human, don't they have family and loved ones? Future grandchildren are going to pay for this. I wonder what they get out of their lies and shameful behavior. At most, a night in the Lincoln bedroom or meeting bush. Wow, what a special treat for selling your soul. I don't know, I just feel so sad today. Tired of the being scared and worrying about keeping my job, the high price of college education for my daughter, the draft for my son and all the hate. It is too much for me today.
