The national security aspect of this election is, in my view, paramount. If Kerry or any dimrat gains the White House then the war is lost. Period. Any dimrat will retreat on the war allowing the terrorists and their state supporters to regroup, refit and redeploy. We cannot afford this.
It is not in the least helpful to start tearing into one another over Bush's shortcomings. He is all we have and if we don't reelect him we risk catastrophe. There has been much written about "nukes in DC" or Denver. If the Islamofascists are allowed the time we will indeed witness nukes or plagues or poisons released in our cities. This is no joke and no time to let other issues - no matter how dearly held our principles - to derail the vital need to reelect Bush.
If this were a time of peace of if the dimrat candidate was Sam Nunn or Henry Jackson I would probably sit this one out. I think Bush has put in a disappointing performance on many important domestic issues and the country is not better for it. But the dimrat candidate will undertake policies that will KILL THOUSANDS - POSSIBLY MILLIONS - OF AMERICANS AND OUR ALLIES. We cannot allow a dimrat to win. It is a matter of sheer survival.

Some say that, If the Islamofascists are allowed the time we will indeed witness nukes or plagues or poisons released in our cities.
Well, we have been at it for how long now? If 3 years is quick, I'd hate to see what slow is. The present method of compassionate warfare is taking way to long. In trying to protect the civilians of our enemies we are giving our enemies time to develop or buy or steal - nukes or plagues or poisons. Ask this question. Was Hiroshima compassionate warfare? I believe it surely was. It saved many more lives on both sides than it took.
The present conventional warfare/nation rebuilding without dealing with the root cause of Islamist terror - Islam, will result in another Turkey. A country which did what Iraq couldn't do in two wars, stop an entire U.S. Army Division through democratic voting. Democracy and Islam cannot coexist. Islam governs with Islamic law. It has already taken over in Turkey.
We are taking too long.
One can already see what is happening with the spreading of Nuke Secrets by the Pakistani Scientists.
This country is not even being mobilized. Look around, does it look like we are at war? Is there a draft? Have the Armed Forces been increased? Is there rationing? Are we ready to respond to, not 3000 dead but 300,000 dead because of a Nuke blowing up in one of our cities? Will we be able to occupy more countries? With what troops? On the contrary, we are being told to spend our money and expect tax cuts. We are spending 15 billion on Aids to Africa and billions more on drug benefits and we don't have enough body armor for troops who are out there doing "bullet magnet patrols". We don't even have our own borders defended.
We are proceeding at a very slow rate and this IS giving time to our enemies.
Letsroll now. Proactive now or pleading later.
