Dems don’t support the war on terror — not because they’re unpatriotic

Well, when the entire premise of your statement is b.s. it doesn’t really matter what the diagnosis is.

Democrats have long advocated nuclear security (from both terrorists and North Korea); want a refocus of American resources on Afghanistan (where the terrorists came from, remember?); push for security at ports, chemical and nuclear plants (the GOP doesn’t want to pay for it); call for energy independents (so we can’t be blackmailed by the political cesspool in the Mid East); and support for first responders (if FEMA can’t handle a hurricane how can they deal with a dirty bomb?).

Please, please tell me how entering an intractable war in the Middle East has enhanced our national security (particularly when actual analysis in the NIE indicates it has done the exact opposite).

(Count your luck stars that a smaller percentage of Congressional Democrats support impeachment than do the American public- 51%)

Please tell me how this delusional man is going to keep us safe:

My attitude about our – look, I’m into campaigning out there: People want to know, can you win? That’s what they want to know. I mean, there’s – look, there’s some 25 percent or so that want us to get out, shouldn’t have been out there in the first place – and that’s fine. They’re wrong. But you can understand why they feel that way. They just don’t believe in war, and – at any cost. I believe when you get attacked and somebody declares war on you, you fight back. And that’s what we’re doing.

First of all, more than twice that number want out of Iraq and it’s absurd to say they ‘don’t believe in war’. The war in Afghanistan enjoyed some 90% approval.

Second, and more importantly, WE WEREN’T ATTACKED BY IRAQ!

I agree with Bush that one of the main differences is the level of panic we feel about terrorism. The Republicans are scared out of their wits, and are willing to surrender the right to privacy and the moral high ground on issues such as torture, because they want “grown-ups” to protect them. The Democrats are more courageous and dignified, and are able to face the future without wetting themselves, or looking for “grown ups” like Cheney to seize power and protect us.

“The Republicans are willing to surrender the right to privacy and the moral high ground on issues such as torture”

That statement is why most people believe Democrats cannot and will not protect this country. No, let me restate that. That statement shows how the far left has hijacked the Democrat party and that’s almost more fearsome than terrorism itself. It’s the language of George Soros and his bedamned “Open Society” who would sell America out in a New York second. Thank God we’re not that stupid.

Dianne, you’re strangely obsessive about a man who fought communism for 20 years before spreading those principles world wide. Is that really something you oppose?

That statement is why most people believe Democrats cannot and will not protect this country.
Actually, it’s a statement showing courage and conviction about the principles of this country (and for the record most Americans trust Democrats more to secure our country.

Well, my first reaction is: wow, you read some extreme stuff!
Second, what’s the big deal? The most damning thing you have on him is his support for Lynne Stewart’s trial. Though I don’t support what she did I don’t begrudge her a fair defense- in fact the support of unpopular opinions seems to be a cornerstone of the Open Society Institute.

sorry..hit the wrong button…

Right now in Kansas City one of Soros’ funded groups, ACORN, is under investigation for voter registration fraud and as you well know, this is not an isolated incident.

I’ve watched Soros for years. The more I read and see in my own backyard, the more I know how dangerous he is.

If ACORN is guilty of fraud, they should be prosecuted. Okay?

I’m sorry you’re so fearful of everything from Al Qaeda to ACORN to George Soros to the Democratic Party. I am so happy not to be a Republicoward right now.
