If defense is the issue in the fall the Senate and House will be Republican.

Hopefully, Daschle's DELIBERATE stall on stimulus in order to EXTEND the recession will not work.

It is so obvious that this is their strategy...

Novak: Dems Nix Terrorism From Poll

A recent poll sent exclusively to Democrats shows just how desperate party leaders are to bump the issue of global terrorism from the top of the political agenda.

Not only did the survey omit any mention of the number one threat to Americans, but columnist Robert Novak reports that the subject wasn't even listed among nine "issue priorities" respondents were supposed to rank in order of importance.

After ponying up a minimum $150 donation, contributors answered questions on Social Security, health care, education, the environment, abortion, gun safety and tax cuts for "the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans."

The closest pollsters came to invoking the unmentionable "T" word was the question: "Do you agree with the House Republicans who wanted to continue allowing low-paid non-federal agents to oversee airport security checkpoints?"

But as Novak points out, Republicans had already lost that battle months ago.

Clearly Democratic strategists would rather not remind potential contributors of Bush's strong suit, preferring instead to keep the focus on what they hope will become major GOP
