KERRY-EDWARDS TRIES TO SHUT DOWN 'SURVIVAL' DEBATE
(viewing movie requires Flash Player 7, available HERE) "It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today on November 2nd, we make the right choice because if we make the wrong choice, the danger is that we'll get hit again, that we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States and then we'll fall back into the pre-9/11 mindset, if you will, that in fact these terrorist attacks are just criminal acts and that we're not really at war."
-
"We were not at war in the 1990s."
- "I think there's been an exaggeration; [President Bush] has exaggerated the threat of terrorism. There needs to be a refocusing. They are really misleading all of America... in a profound way."
- "The War on Terror is less... is occasionally military but it's primarily an intelligence and law enforcement operation."
- "The Bush Administration is so entralled by the idea of preemption and American military might. This is the consequence of the policy that regards legitimacy as largely a product of force and victory as primarily a triump of arms."
- "A threat that is real and imminent. That is the only justificatiion for going to war."
"Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike?
If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late.
Trusting in [their] sanity and restraint... is not a strategy, and it is not an option."
"Dick Cheney's fear tactics crossed the line. What it says to the American people: 'If you go to the polls in November and elect anyone else but us and another terrorist attack occurs, it's your fault.' This is un-American. Except the truth is and proves once again that they'll do anything and say anything to keep their jobs. Protecting the American people from terrorist attacks and from vicious terrorists is not a Republican issue and is not a Democratic issue. It's an American issue and George Bush and Dick Cheney should know that.
et's get real, people. Universal health care schemes or abortion-friendly justices have little utility if we're blown to bits.
There is a reason lifelong liberal Democrats like the former Mayor of New York, Ed Koch, and the Hollywood actor, Ron Silver, who agree with George Bush on absolutely nothing domestically, are not only voting this November for a Republican presidential candidate for the first time in their lives--they are, in fact, campaigning vigorously for his reelection.
Ed Koch and Ron Silver know what all rational, informed voters know--only one issue matters in this, the first post-9/11 presidential election: Who would better prosecute the War on Terror, George Bush or John Kerry?
The choice could not be more clear.
THE LETHAL DIFFERENCE: THE BUSH DOCTRINE v. THE NEO-NEOLIBERAL, ANIMAL FARM MENTALITY
- President Bush and Dick Cheney, as enunciated in The Bush Doctrine, advocate preemption and overwhelming military might.
- Kerry and Edwards, The Men From Hope, (been there, done that), advocate "a more sensitive war"... a defensive-only war... the hope that tomorrow will be a better day.
THE WHOLE BALL OF WAX
This difference is the whole ball of wax, people.
No less than Western Civilization hangs in the balance.
When terrorists declare war on you and commit acts of war against you, you are perforce at war.
At that point, you have only one decision to make:
Do you fight?
Or do you surrender?
Bush chose fight.
clinton and Kerry -- repeatedly and invariably -- chose surrender.
KERRY-EDWARDS TRIES TO SHUT DOWN THE DEBATE
In an effort to shut down debate on this issue -- clearly a losing one for Kerry-Edwards -- John Edwards labeled Cheney's warning "un-American."
I have news for the two Johns. Nothing is more American than acting to preserve, protect and defend America. And nothing is more un-American than to thwart that effort.
