Dems Falling for Rovian Trap - Again

Hillary Clinton is encouraging her Democratic colleagues not to back down to Rove's charge that Republicans will win in 2006 on terrorism fear again.

"I take a back seat to nobody when it comes to fighting terrorism and standing up for national homeland security," she said.

She added, "Since when has it been part of American patriotism to keep our mouths shut?"

The funny thing is that she just took Karl Rove's bait. By believing that she and other Democrats can convince Americans that they are the people to trust withU.S. national security is simply ridiculous. Hillary might like to talk tough, but when it comes down to it, she is against wiretapping terrorists, against the Patriot Act and was against removing Saddam Hussein (even though she voted for it).

Looks like Rove is going to win the election debate before it even starts.
