Fear is credited by many for their vote for a 2nd-term Bush. There is the
fear of terrorism, with an appearance by the architect of modern
terrorism, Osama bin Laden, just days before the election. Bush's response
to this threat, questionable as to effectiveness, at least is seen as
strong and decisive by the voters.

Closer to home is the fear of moral decay; boobs at the Superbowl,
same-gender marriage, "activist" judges *legislating for* abortion and gay
marriage from the bench. Bush himself made moral issues a centerpiece in
the campaign, playing to and giving voice to the fears of both religious
conservatives and the public at large. It is Bush's politics of fear that
I find revolting and repulsive. Reminds me of a criminal enterprise used
to extort protection money from a fearful public.



??? Pot and kettle.

Sounds like you voted for someone else because you were afraid of Bush.
