...and all it takes is another attack here at home and they will have rolled snake eyes. At that point they can kiss goodbye the future elections.

You are right. It is a real gamble they are taking at this point in time.

Hmm, soon after the 9/11 attack, we started hearing the far-far left denouncing the war. This sentiment has increased in its invocation but is not supported by the mainstream of Americans.

The Democrats have not responded to it.

Yet the Democrats are taking a chance here, in that, their obstruction of the tax relief bill and the ensuing political fight for the 2002 elections makes them vulnerable to an attack by Al Qaida in the US. This would derail their attempt at stonewalling.

Why take this chance now?

They've never been known for not covering all bases prior to a political campaign. What makes them feel comfortable to attack at this time?

No, seriously, I think the GOP should make it very clear that they would rather fund a tax increase to Ken Lay and his neighbors than provide temporary assistance to the laid off Enron employees. In fact, I will help fund the ads.
