Do not make the mistake of thinking that because my conclusion is the same as another person's that my reasoning is the same

WASHINGTON
First came the pre-emptive military policy. Now comes the pre-emptive campaign strategy.
Before the president even knows his opponent, his first political ad is blanketing Iowa today.
"It would take one vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this country to bring a day of horror like none we have ever known," Mr. Bush says, in a State of the Union clip.
Well, that's a comforting message from our commander in chief. Do we really need his cold, clammy hand on our spine at a time when we're already rattled by fresh terror threats at home and abroad? When we're chilled by the metastasizing Al Qaeda, the resurgent Taliban and Baathist thugs armed with deadly booby traps; the countless, nameless terror groups emerging in Turkey, Morocco, Indonesia and elsewhere; the vicious attacks on Americans, Brits, aid workers and their supporters in Iraq, Afghanistan and Turkey? The latest illustration of the low-tech ingenuity of Iraqi foes impervious to our latest cascade of high-tech missiles: a hapless, singed donkey that carted rockets to a Baghdad hotel.
Yet the Bush crowd is seizing the moment to scare us even more.
"when even Mr. Bush's own campaign ads say you're no safer now as a result, ask yourself�whose fault is that?"
Asking that question is suicide. The answer "DEMOCRATS!" is way too easy.
On second thought, that is probably the best result. Please, spend millions spreading that meme.
Omigod, it's the evil left-wing again!!!!!!!! Run for your lives!!!!!!!!
Yes, the answer "DEMOCRATS!" is easy, but does the easy answer shut off people's brains?
The Democrats have yielded to Bush's every demand, funded everything as he's asked. When you get your way and still fail, how can you blame those who gave you your way?
I hope there's smething in there to support your argument. I gotta read all six pages?
