I am supporting W. in all possible ways in the coming election, and here's why: Though he has disappointed me with some stances, and though I know there are yet more disappointments in his pipeline, I believe there is really only ONE issue of our time: Domestic security--aka WOT.

He has the spine, the will, and the religious faith to take on what is our current Holy War. I cannot imagine anyone else at this particular helm.

All the arguments about too much spending, how harshly we should treat illegals, etc.--all of it!--pale to me when I realize that our country could become Israel writ large, if the Islamofascists have their way. I don't want that for my children. Do I want them to grow into adulthood just to bitch about the cost of social security and medical care? If the alternative is them lying in graves, murdered at the hands of extremists on a suicide mission--convert us or kill us--then I say: Bring it.

Great post, I can't say it better. National security and the Islamist agenda are my main voting points, along with abortiono and the gay agenda. To me these are the most important issues in the culture war and the WoT. If we don't have national security, what good is social security? The fact that Bush put Daniel Pipes in the Institute of Peace tells me he understands the Wot and has the guts not to bend to "world" opinion.
