I just saw a commercial for George Bush in which they showed pictures of terrorists and their victims and then said "These people want to kill us." I can't believe that the party has resorted to that! It is the politics of cynicism and fear. They might as well say "You should be very scared. Vote for Bush or you'll probably die." I think it's true: during an election year, the electorate is treated like we're stupid and swayed by our emotions.
