Tieing the so called "war on terror" to the economy.
In a 2004 video, Osama Bin Laden is quoted as saying, "we are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy."

National debt before 9/11: 5.6 trillion
National debt now: 9.3 trillion and growing.

1. Good idea.

McCain has no plan for the economy besides "MORE TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY--BECAUSE THEY WORKED SO WELL THE FIRST TIME!" John McCain '08: Like Bush, only older.

2. thank you for putting it in quotes and prefacing with "so called"
My hero Amy Goodman does that.

I wish more people would.

3. It's really a joke to call anything a "war on" ......
The "war on poverty", failure.
The "war on AIDS", failure.
The "war on drugs", failure.
The "war on terror", epic failure.


Any time a politician wants to declare war on a non-breathing entity, you can be sure it will fail.

5. please support the 'War on Tots'....
Please Support the War on Tots (WOT)

Please support the War on Tots
War’s aren’t right, but they must be,
We were attacked on 911
Lihop, Mihop; that’s best forgotten
It’s the future that counts…let’s look ahead
And get over it.

Our fighting men, so brave, so few
Go everywhere on our behalf
Making free a world at war
So you must support the War on Tots
If we’re going to stay on top
Nits make lice, otherwise…
The lousy goddam wars cost much

Goliath was so strong, extreme
Faced boy David, but look who won!
The war on tots is ours to lose
Goliath laughed at children too
That’s the lesson we have learned

Bleeding Hearts assume all tots
Prefer splashing pools to firefights
But Goliath fell, he lost the war
Whether by IED or slingshot, who cares?
Our oil means prosperity, which is good
We need more wealth, forever!

Our needs are vital and never ending
Blair Bush Harper’s military spending,
Around this world we confront insurgence
Political Correctness ties our hands,
(While enabling our enemies)
So we strike hard, at nests of vipers
Shock and Awe and bloody diapers
War’s not for the Faint of Heart
The war on tots we DID NOT start!

CNBCBS and Fox
report the truth
Which liberals try to hide,
About the War on Tots
they report, we decide

Do your duty, fall in line
Call-in talkradio tells it right
The War on Tots might look bad
But we will win, as Bush Harper said
“Freedom lies in being bald”
old men always win
