One last bit of political rambling before the elections and then I'm done. I promise. The next four years are going to be pivital in defining the world and our security not only for ourselves, but for our children. How we handle terrorism now will define how it affects us in the future ( Read more... )

Personally, I don't think they really care. They have a hatred for our country that goes beyond who our leaders are. They attacked us with Bush in office, and if given the opportunity, I think they would attack us with either Bush or Kerry in office.

I have to say, in general, stating that the terrorists would want either person in office makes me really uncomfortable. It sounds like saying, "A vote for [the opposing party] is a vote for terrorism." I just don't think that's true. I strongly support my candidate, but I don't think those who support "the other guy" don't care about or don't understand the impetus behind the 9/11 attacks.

I certainly wouldn't go so far as to say a vote for Kerry is a vote for terrorism. As far as I'm concerned, though, I see a president who's (no matter what his faults, and he does have many) going to hunt them down and kill them no matter what. On the other hand I see a candidate who wants to play a game of Mommy-may-I with the United Nations when it comes to terrorism, a group that has shown itself to be both ineffectual and decidedly against the united states.

...and think about how many more of them we created by toppling three soverign governments in as many years...

can we continue to keep making new enemies?

the first four years, the man was checked by possibility of impeachment and non being re-elected.

now we have a republican congress. impeachment would never happen.

he no longer has to have his 'show face' on. he can effectively do all the things he really wants to do.

remember that this is a man who supports Israel because he's waiting for them to rebuild the Temple so that the great holy war and following judgement day can ensue.

...to say nothing for what he will do with his supreme court appointees.

There are a thousand issues more important than terrorism, despite what the fearmogers sell you I remind youAnd even if terrorism were an issue, which it's not, then at least remember that it is a symptom of imperialism and desparation. the only fix is to remove the cause, not try to fix the symptoms by reinforcing the cause ( ... )
