Who said anything about ignoring it?
As I said, I would concede for the purposes of discussion that Bush has done much to combat terrorism.
But why should that be the primary, and in many cases ONLY, issue to vote on?
You can claim it will spiral out of control very quickly if Bush is no longer President - but I'm not going to concede such a baseless opinion. Kerry WOULD fight terrorism. Bush WOULD fight terrorism. There is no question of that. I see no logic in claiming that terrorism will spiral out of control, to the degree that our lives would actually become at risk to more than some essentially non-existent degree if Bush is not President. I do see it as a focal point of an election campaign - forsaking all other issues.
There are more important issues. And not suprisingly, Bush has been very ineffective dealing with them.
