So what should we call this - a "pre-scare"? Here's what it shows (or what McCain WANTS it to show):

1. McCain knows what the bad guys are planning.

2. Bad guys want a Democrat to win the election.

3. It's not too soon to be scared all over again, which is the tactic used by the GOP in every election since 9/11.
Of course, if the neocons had known what al-Qaeda was planning, they wouldn't still exist, would they? Ditto the Taliban. So when McCain makes a statement like that, he should add a disclosure: "This statement is not based on information from the CIA, which, in any case, has frequently been wrong. It is purely an effort to obtain your vote."

Mark B.--Amen.

It amazes me that he thinks people will be stupid enough to fall for this...but, we have in the past, haven't we.

That would give his campaign a heck of a boost -- list like his surrogate said a while ago.

The GOP is up to their same old, tired tricks.

Trying to scare us into voting for the strongest canadate.
Come on people this is scam, even if we were going to be attacked it doesnt matter we're a christian nation lets put our faith in the afterlife to the test.

that fear into the heart of public. This is getting interesting all the time...

what, may I ask, does some stupid comments made by one of McCain's advisers "Earlier this year..." have to do with McCain addressing a group of General Motor employees today about al-Qaeda making a stepped up amount of terrorist attacks around election time? Talk about biased reporting. Its simply a bit more obvious than most. It is no wonder so many people are getting increasingly cynical with the "liberal" media. What a shame.

the Republicans are getting desperate. You need to do better than that McCain.

The sky is falling! Sure I've lied to you in the past treating you like a chump but; you can trust me now.
