Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday accused Republicans of "playing the fear card" of terrorism to win elections and said Democrats cannot keep quiet if they want to win in November.

The New York Democrat, facing re-election this year and considered a potential White House candidate in 2008, said Republicans won the past two elections on the issue of national security and "they're doing it to us again."

She said a speech by presidential adviser Karl Rove two weeks ago showed the GOP election message is: "All we've got is fear and we're going to keep playing the fear card."










These people hate freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, homosexuality, a woman's right to "choose," and totally don't care about global warming.

They are terrified of miniskirts but not of dying.

These people want to kill us.

Anyone who isn't afraid probably didn't give Hitler much credit until they heard the tanks outside their windows.

Hillary Clinton knows this and does not believe a word she is saying. She is pandering to idiots. And if you spend enough time pandering to idiots, you become one.
