From dictionary.com:
terrorist
adj : characteristic of someone who employs terrorism (especially as a political weapon); "terrorist activity"; "terrorist state" n : a radical who employs terror as a political weapon; usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities
Now note the noun definition:
n : a radical who employs terror as a political weapon. Wasn't Bush's whole election strategy pretty much:"Elect me or the terrorists will attack again". Doesn't he say "_____ or the terrorists win!" a whole lot? And every Democrat in America will attest to the radicalness of Bush. So if you listen to Bush, the terrorist(s) win(s)!

Why? The horse can't feel anything.
Such tactics were always used. Black politicians use "You are either with us democrats/liberals or you are against civil rights". McCarthy lost all his political power with his "You are either with me or you are a commie" speaches. America's founders used the old "with us or against us" thing during the Revolutionary War. Yes, the "terrorist" tactic has been used for years(and I mean years). You are either against the tactic(fully or somewhat), for it(again, fully or somewhat, or you are a hypocrit.:p

Of course he is. Just like almost every other politician in office in every nation across the globe. (And probably in many extrasolar nations, as well.)

Shrub a terrorist? Only if you're a Muslim.
Shrub as Al Qaeda's best recruiter? Definitely.

I suppose if you ignore the context of the definition you could be right.
Idiot.

Well if it helps the argument any, sure.
Wonder what the political affiliation of that flamin' Ninja feller is ....
No. He's a politician.One certainly doesn't exclude the other.
In fact most politicians seem to be terrorist in a way. Making up and/or magnifying 'dangers', then promising to solve it (usually without coming true if they're chosen), or at least villifying the opposition for doing nothing and/or supporting it.
Using terror has been a political game since politics first came into existence.

he prefers to call it 'shock and awe'
Whether Bush is a terrorist or not depends on who wins the war on terror and therefore writes the history books.
