Aren't you forgetting the economy?

This catastrophe in waiting has more inevitability to it.

It has to be believable and part of a person's everyday life to make the difference we need.

You are on the right track. Fear of loss is a more powerful motivator than anything else.

We must not allow our principles to be compromised -- we cannot become the thing we wish to destroy. Please don't fear monger. If we appeal to emotion over reason then reason will have lost some of it's greatest champions.

But I think people must see the unintended consequences of this Neo-Conservative movement. Which for some reason they don't, they just want to "Bomb Iran"

Whether those things are true or not is a totally different question from whether we should focus on those things.

Guiliani has focused on Islamic terror, and look where it has gotten him.

We need "it's morning again in America."

how about a commercial

starts out all sunny suburban America happy happy joy joyish, then as the commercial progresses have images of war, collapsing economy, so on so forth then at the end have the same image the commercial started with but all post apocalyptic like

also have someone say "Do not let this happen to our country...vote Ron Paul"
