This CNN quick vote poll blows me away. I know it's not supposed to be scientific. But does 50% of any population believe that gas prices are a more pressing issue than terrorism? This on a day in which a plot to blow up airplanes over the ocean was foiled.
Of course maybe Rove and the gang are up to it again. They must have planned to disrupt this attack the day or so after Lieberman was defeated. Of course, the master plan to illustrate the weakness of the Dems on national defense.
Look. I know that the administration is weak and less than skillful. But gas prices as important as terrorism? Call it by a different name. Explain the perspective that they are upset because our troops are on their soil. Make the point that our history is rife--is that a word?--with examples of 'terrorism' as well. I'm fine with all of those, but don't make the point that attacks, or potential attacks on us are not as important as how much you pay at the pump.
Confused.

i guess people are just very self-centered. More people feel a direct impact in their pockets becasue of gas prices. The poor are really hurting. So far, everyone has not been directly impacted by terrorism and so it seems more like a far away problem. Is it disturbing that the American people are only really concerned with things that directly impact them? Yep.
