Here We Go Again Posted by Ilan Goldenberg

If it's two weeks before an election it must be time for the scare tactics on terrorism.  The RNC's latest piece of mail is an attempt to scare voters by bringing up vivid images of terrorism.  And apparently McCain says he's proud of this piece.

Here is the good news.  Republicans tried this in 2006, with an abonimable ticking time bomb advertisement and another ad that tried to scare voters by arguing that Democrats don't want to listen to terrorists making phone calls from Pakistan.  Those failed miserably.  And I think this is just another sign of desperation. These just don't work anymore considering the slew of issues we're faced with today and the fact that progressives have worked hard to increase their credibility on foreign policy and national security, while conservatives have done a good job destroying their own brand.
