Will another major terrorist attack (like 9/11) on US soil help Bush's and republican's popularity?

I THINK IT WOULD SHOW COMPLETE INCOMPETANCE THAT HAS BEEN PROVEN OVER AND OVER.

Bush's policies have inflammed terrorists groups.\n\nSo the question should be "Why would you vote for a Republican and support increasing terrorism?"

Maybe,but Bush has used 9/11 as an excuse for a lot.Not very American,wouldn't you say?

Yes, the terrorists may see it as a win.  President Bush even addressed that possiblity in his speech yesterday.   Let them celebrate if that is what they want to do, they have underestimated America before to their dismay and they will do so again if they think that this election was a sign of weakness.  They don't have a clue as to how much power the people in this country weld peacefully by voting.  They are only use to ruling by brutality and death.   They will NEVER win as long as this country and the free world stands strong against  them and what they represent.

Another attack can occur at almost anytime. No system is 100% fool proof and you can bet that the terrorists are looking and plotting a way to sneak another attack in on us. \n\nYou cant reason with terrorists and they don't understand talk. They kill woman, children and innocent people in the name of their religion, so, how can you reason with crazy people??\n\nWhile I am a democrat, I cant think of one, that could or would have handled 911 the right way. The liberal side of the party wants to talk about everything. They talked and talked in WW2 after getting evidence the Germans were exterminating Jews. They talked people all the way to the gas chambers in Auschwitz's and Treblinka.\n\nThis nation needs to pull together as one, but to do that, we need those people in Washington to do whats right for America, and not for their party. I point my finger at BOTH parties for staying the party line, and not the route that is best for this Nation.

There is no doubt that much more happen that day, which government is not telling us. If we recall that it was the time when the polls for president Bush were going down. But right after the attack the rating went up! so something did happen. Now the file is closed we will never get the true answer. Anybody who will raise the question will be labeled terrorist and unpatriotic.

Corruption will get you every time!  It rots the fabric of the nation from within.\n\nTerrorism will sometimes spill blood.  That's what the red in Old Glory stands for:  The blood that has been shed and the blood yet to be shed in defense of our way of life.\n\nOddly, terrorism gets a lot of publicity yet is still a very MINOR risk for most Americans.  Every year, 15 times the number of people who died on 9/11 die on our roads and highways.  Half of them are at the hands of drunk drivers.  And we repeat this EVERY YEAR!  We'd need to repeat 9/11 every 24 days to equal out the toll, yet nobody seems to notice that sad fact.\n\nWe make all this noise about terrorism and are ready to give up our freedom for an infinitesimal improvement in security, yet barely notice the slaughter on our streets that we can actually do something about!  Go figure!

Won't take long at all.  In fact prior to 9-11 not many Repubs liked him anyway.  Not many New Yorkers liked him before 9-11.

No.  The United States will never become a third world terrorist filled country.  Republicans will keep getting elected by the religious right and Presidents will continue to send American troops to get slaughtered in the middle east somewhere by Muslim extremists who are believing that killing Americans is their ticket into heaven, and why go to all the trouble and expense of going to America when I can kill one across the street.\nSo no.\n\nThe danger is if we elect someone who wants to have complete military withdraw from the middle east, then the muslim extremist will come here.\n\nAlso we need to as nation take a good hard look at these christian extremists who are here who blow up abortion clinics and kill the innocents in the abortion clinic.  I don't know when the last one of these happened, but we need to crack down to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Throughout history superpowers always fall, rome france etc.\nI agree with the statement that there will be alot of backlash because of G.W. Bush. How many quote unquote Terrorists will spring up in Iraq because their familys have been killed in bombings by the U.S. military.\nImagine if we were occupied by China and they told us it was because George Bush is a terrorist with WMD's, but while trying to destroy the military they killed family and friends of yours....I know how i would respond, probably the same way so many "insurgents" or "terrorists" are reacting....I would do anything to try and help get these invaders to leave my country and stop killing my family friends and countrymen and women.\nI think this is the beginning of the end for our country, my only hope is that our next president has the power to make things better for the whole world not just us.I think if that happens we would have a chance to survive as a country.

Highly unlikely.  Many moderate Republicans feel that could end up being a political liability after the election controversy and her links to GWB.  Notice how many Republicans have been starting to distance themselves from the president?  This is in preparation for the upcoming election cycle.  They may support many of Bush's policies (or not), but they can not risk being too closely linked with an office with such low approval ratings.  \n\nHarris' name is so linked with Bush's at this point, however, that she cannot really gain any distance, making her an easy target.\n\nHope this helps!

where have you been the last 5 years? remember the date 9/11? do you really beilieve planned attack? the why didn't President Bush do another attack when his poll numbers fell.mean his poll numbers were highest after the first attack. if he was willing to do it once then why not again.

another terrorist attack and there wouldn't be many left... that would FINALLY prove that their polices have did little to deter terror... the only "evidence" they have is that we haven't had another attack... lack of action is FAR from actual evidence... \n\nI hope it doesn't happen, but based on Bush's ineffective strategies, I fear it's inevitable and I'm scared...\n\nbungiebabe: \nA. there is no "pass" on the SAT tests, just a score...\nB. judging from what she says... the lower you scored on the SAT... the more you probably like her...\n\nhmm?: you should make a question out of all those quotes... ask how much all the Republicans love all these quotes... hahaha

By and far the Republican Party has used 9/11 as a prop to sell this bullshit War on Terror.  And republicans are so backwards they don't realize that we are giving up freedoms in this war to defend it.

Serious answer here!\n\nTerrorism has increased in the past 25 years.  It has had a huge incline of attacks throughout the world in the last 6.  And the bush administration has only missed one, one that would have probably been missed by the demos also.\n\nhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/10/20051006-7.html\nhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/US/02/09/whitehouse.plots/index.html\nHere are the ones they have stopped, since 9-11

OF COURSE MANY REPUBLICAN SUPPORTERS WILL ACT AS APOLOGISTS FOR BUSH.  JUST AS SOME ARE DOING IN THE UK IN SUPPORT OF TONY BLAIR.\n\nBOTH BUSH AND BLAIR HAVE BEEN ON A ROLE OVER THEIR STANCE ON IRAQ.  IN TIME THEIR ACTIONS MAY PROVE TO BE RIGHT OR WRONG.
