WASHINGTON (AP) - Unlike the past two elections, both Democrats and Republicans face potential headaches in the fall voting if terrorism is a major concern, a poll suggests.

National security and terrorism have been decisive advantages for Republicans in the two national elections since the Sept. 11 attacks, but that may be changing, according to a poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.

Thirty-five percent of those surveyed say they are very concerned that a Democratic takeover of Congress would weaken the fight against terrorism, according to the poll. But 46 percent say they are very concerned that if Republicans retain control, they will get the country involved in too many military missions.

The discovery last week of a plot to blow up airliners flying from Britain to the United States focused attention on the terrorism threat. Republicans and Democrats moved quickly to try to seize the political initiative after the failed attacks.

1. the corporatocracy is threatened

The "values" we theoretically stand for, of cheap and infinite transport and energy for
all american passport holders is indeed at risk. Funnily, the bought corporate agencies
are complaining, or hardly funnily, ironically, sadly, and really tragically.

Where is the truth, when lies are the 2 parties?

2. Pew...........something stinks.

You can bet if the GOP plans to run a campaign on 'security' that they will do their best to assure that the circumstances support it. And of course, if it works, that's good enough for the Dems to follow suit.

Notice an uptick in terra lately?
