Rudy Guiliani has already started using the tatic of saying that if democrats win in 08 we will be attacked by terrorists. Will the politics of fear work like it did in 2004.

Oh I think you will see everyone's bag of tricks being emptied, politics of personal destruction, politics of fear, politics of class division, every textbook trick and maybe a new one or two.

Who knows, but it has before so I guess Americans can be stupid enough again. Guiliani is a hypocrite for everything that he has been saying ever since he's been a candidate for the GOP in 08. Basically he's sold his sole to the devil, he's not even preaching what he believes, and his comments completely contradict what he's done and said as Mayor of New York. Now he claims the Democrats are going to cause a terror attack? Who was President when his city was attacked on September 11th? It wasn't a democrat.....it was George W. Bush.

I certainly hope not. The Republicans have jumped on that mantra ever since 9/11, but really haven't done anything. They haven't stopped Bin Laden, Made a mess of the Middle East, have no real Homeland Security, and can't even fend off a Hurricane at home. When will people realize they are all talk, no action and total incompetence?

well the politics of fear al gore has going on has a much better chance. Also democrats are just bad for security. They are to worried about not offending anyone. So in reality if they win we are more likely to be attacked. Hell the freaking terrorists rejoiced when democrats won because they now how foolish they are.

Such dogma will only work for a short time. And it will only play well in certain parts of the country.
Rudy the adulator can wave the flag all he likes. He's not qualified to run the nation.
And if he plans to run it from a base of fear like Bush has these past years, he'll loose to the first female or African American president in US history.

I think it'll work as long as the people in the "Red" states remain scared of getting attacked. That's actually very ironic to me seeing that 9/11 happened in a "Blue" state.
Don't worry Alabama! Al Qaeda's not coming for you!

We were attacked on 9/11/01 by 19 illegal immigrant terrorists and Republican George W. Bush was in office. He gave safe passage out of the country for the family of Osama Bin Laden and never bothered to investigate the Arab interests in the USA. Instead he furthered the attack on U.S. Citizens by taking away our rights, passing Patriot Acts, refusing to prosecute illegal immigrants, refusing to protect our borders, and even having illegal immigrants inspect our baggage! His actions were anti-American. We had to endure travel restrictions while illegal immigrants were working on our bases and Dubai industries was trying to manage our ports. Now Dubai is buying up Smaller Airline businesses. This is no "politics of fear". This is out and out sanctioned treason by our highest officials.

The lefts politics of "Ignoring the threat" 1990's culminated in 9/11.......So since the DNC cares more for votes than history why not..

It will for the dodoheads who voted for Bush, esp. the 2nd time around. If Giuliani runs the politics of serial divorce will be the issue.

I certainly hope not. Of course it worked in 2004 for Bush.
Lets hope Americans 'can't get fooled again.'
