1. GOP economic terrorism is the #1 issue

The have been practicing economic terrorism against America's middle class, working class, and poor. They practice economic terrorism against immigrant laborers, and against those who work for mere pennies in foreign sweatshops to make cheap goods for American corporations.

When they eliminate taxes for the wealthy, it's just another form of economic terrorism against the have-nots. When they reduce health care funding, education funding, student loans, and social services, it's economic terrorism.

2. It serves to show how badly bushco has fucked up.

* Bush is the war president. He has staked his legacy on Iraq...and lost

* Bush was told by Clinton that TERRORISM/OBL would be his main concern in 2000. Bush chose to listen
to the neo-cons and their war drumbeat instead. The result was 9/11 and a costly war in Iraq

* Bush invaded Afghanistan to git OBL. But he stopped the hunt for OBL, effectively stopping the war on terror,
and invaded Iraq instead.

* Resource allocation - bush will spend trillions on his not-related-to-defeating-terrorism PNAC war in Iraq while
seeking cuts in terror-fighting funds and programs here at home

This claim actually works to the advantage of Dems, if they position it correctly.
