Advantage, Bush
The White House can control the agenda in ways that Kerry cannot. If the president plays it right, he can wrap up the race
WEB-EXCLUSIVE COMMENTARY
By Eleanor Clift
Newsweek
Updated: 3:41 p.m. ET Aug. 6, 2004Aug. 6 - Republicans are better at the game of politics. Take this week's elevated terror alert. Whether you think it was warranted or not, it's a win-win for George W. Bush. He says we're fighting terrorists in Iraq so we don't have to fight them here in our country. Yet we're told to prepare for an attack that could come any time and exceed the 9/11 toll in death and destruction. The subliminal message of the Bush campaign is that a vote for John Kerry is a vote for Osama bin Laden. You can buy T-shirts that say that. They're advertised on the web site of the Washington Times, a conservative newspaper owned by the Unification Church. Bush wants us to believe that terrorists the world over are cringing at the thought of four more years of his tough-guy policies.

She's a charter member of the Bitter, Nasty, Bwitch Club. I've watched her on TV for more than a decade and I can't recall ever seeing her smile ......not even once. (Although I'm sure she broke down and cracked one in Nov. of '92).
Our intelligence people have been nabbing terrorist suspects left and right all week long. Also in other countries. 6 in Hillary land of Albany alone.
Eleanor Clift is a frustrated feminist who probably has yet to reveal her true self.
Yep.
"Game over," and hel-lo, President Kerry.

Thanks for the info...
Are they fixated on dumping Dick Cheney or what? What exactly is it about him that sets them off so?
I have never seen that woman smile. She hates Bush and lets the world know it. She is the poster woman for biased journalist.
The interesting thing in this Clift article is the despair she exhibits. She doesn't really have a scenario where Kerry wins, only those where the game's over; Bush wins.
CAIR (al Qaeda's North American press office) has been wailing about that almost non-stop. How long until Kerry sends Dean or Gore out there to shriek and rave about how the President now isn't content with just putting out phony terror alerts, but is actually rounding up innocent Muslims in order to politicize the war on terror?
I think we would have already seen one of these nutsacks out there pounding and sweating, but the Swift Boat Vets story has knocked the Treason Party's goons back on their heels, at least for now.
Kerry sent all terrorist groups a strong message yesterday. He would fight "a more sensitive war on terror". That's when we put daisies in the gun barrels.
We are probably lucky she doesn't smile. Besides, with the bad economic data today and the main stream media shilling for Kerry, why is she complaining about anything?
I've been wondering what voter turnout will be like this presidential election year. Will people feel like their vote is more likely to count with such a close election last time? Will people be more inclined to vote because they feel it matters more this time?
Eleanor Clift is the worst. Helen Thomas can be dismissed as a dingbat, but Eleanor is just a chaos merchant.
