>>THAT is some really weird thinking.
Look at it this way: If some islamofacist assassinated the president, would we (as a country) be taking the WOT more seriously? (I think so) would the Dem's (particularly Hillary) have a snowballs chance against an incumbent Dick Cheney? (No) Would this save lives in the Future? (I believe it would)
I as a patriot would give my life to further the interests of my country. I believe President George W Bush feels the same way. (Not that giving you life is the goal, just if necessary) Would this "Clarity" be good for the country? I believe it would, so I have to say this would not be all bad, even though it would start with a terrible act, one that is difficult to even contemplate, but the liberals have pushed me to contemplate it and it really does not help them at all.
Think about this, if they bad mouth bush after an assassination, what will happen to them? (Answer, they lose the support of the older generation for whom the dead are sacred, think Wellstone memorial, but with more teeth init)
