Gore, like Clinton, will leave military vulnerable to terrorists (The Writing Was On The Wall)

LETTER

I’ve supported my union, Steelworkers Local 1123, for 28 years. I’m proud to be a union worker, but more important, I am proud to be an American and proud to have served my country in the U.S. Marine Corps (1968-73). This year, I won’t vote with my union because I cannot support Al Gore for president.

Gore shamelessly pandered to unions when he proclaimed that his mother sang, “Look for the Union Label” jingle as his lullaby. Gore cannot possibly support unions, while being against a vital element of production; Gore writes in “Earth in the Balance,” “The internal combustion engine is posing a mortal threat to the security of every nation, more deadly than that of any military enemy that we are ever again likely to confront.”

Maybe this explains why the Clinton-Gore administration has decided to deplete American’s military power and effectiveness. They believe the real threat to national security is the internal combustion engine, not another country.

While vacationing in Virginia, our family visited a naval base where I was stationed as a Marine MP.

I was shocked to discover that there were no security gates, no guards and no visible patrols on the base. We toured the base, including “Admiral’s Row,” the docks, and we walked up to the ships without being stopped. Lack of security on military bases is an invitation to terrorism.

Clinton and Gore have more security than entire military bases; Clinton and Gore enjoy 24-hour security on the campaign-fund-raising trail, while our children in the military are attacked, wounded, and murdered because of lack of security.

But Gore won’t worry — none of his children will ever serve in the military.

I will vote for Bush-Cheney because they promise to strengthen our military, which has been weakened during the present administration.

Thank you very much for you and all those who protested from a Florida voter!

In my humble opinion I think they wanted to but remember all those FBI files. Hillary knew she could blackmail anyone of them if they went against her. They knew it too, so this is why we're in the fix we're in today. I blame the clintons for all the weaknesses we have in government, military etc.

[ResistorSister]

Oh, I blame the clintons too...I just think it is a shame that the rest of our Federal government did not try to stop the clintons when they knew that America was being sold out.

Oh well, our elected officials, many churches/church leaders, the news media, and many others were all a part of the - looking the other way - during the clinton years. It was a strong sign of weakness to the world.
