Hm, seems as if these terror alerts aren't entirely about terrorism...

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

No, as it seems quite obvious from that chart, whenever Bush's numbers drop, there's a terror alert, a little hop in his ratings, they go down a bit again, terror alert, yadda yadda.

Doitle, I'm not saying that every time Bush's ratings go down, he calls a terror alert. His approval rising without him using a terror alert is a good sign, but you can see whenever he calls a terror alert, his ratings get a little boost. You can also see that as his popularity lowers, there are more and more alerts.

Whenever there's a terror alert, his ratings get a small boost. Unless something happens at the same time he calls a terror alert pretty much always, I don't see how terror alerts and rating jumps are unrelated.

These, for the most part, are.
But that's not the point.
The point is is that there seems to be a terror alert whenever Bush's ratings start to fall, and as they get lower and lower, there are more and more terror alerts.

Well, first, I would ask how the Democrats are weak on defense...

So, hypothetically, Kerry wins in November... in March of next year, he raises the terror alert. Would you libs then still say it was for political gain, or that there is a reason for such an alert to occur?

Yes, with a reference to what SEAL said.
