GOP faithful #1 Fear is Impeachment, Not Terrorism! (Official RNC Poll Results) 
The RNC launched their new ad campaign with a lot of PR. It is an ad (available on their web site which is just pure fearmongering. The whole point of the ad is There are terrorists who want to kill your family! Boogity Boogity Booooo.....They never mention their failure to capture these terrorists, or Dubya's flip-flopping on hunting down OBL (dead or alive...don't think about him...on the hunt...it's difficult...we know exactly where he is ...we have no idea where he is...etc.) They certainly don't mention their role in creating the newest generation of terrorists. Heck, they have stopped even pretending they are going to capture or kill these terrorists. After all, why kill a meal ticket?
Why do I say that? Because browsing the rest of the RNC site (down at the bottom of the page on the right) is a poll... and in that poll we learn what REALLY scares Republicans. The results of this official RNC poll are clear. Republicans fear accountability more than terrorists. Details on the flip....

The RNC poll asks:
If the Democrats took control of Congress,
what part of their agenda would concern you the most?
- Cutting and running in the War on Terror (18.1%)
- Raising your family's taxes (8.6%)
- Impeachment and investigations (20.4%)
- All of the above (52.9%)
In today's paper we see that even Poppy Bush is now lamenting the fact that his son's life is going to be miserable once Democrats control the committees. And this is a guy who knows a thing or two about congressional inquiries.
So this Halloween, expect the RNC and GOP to try and scare the beejeesus out of everyone by screaming "The terrorists are coming! The terrorists are coming!" But don't be fooled, these guys are looking in the mirror and quaking in their boots because they hear the footsteps closing in on them.
