The trick is to get nominated Pubbies that cause both you and me to not sit out. That is where political skill comes in. Well maybe not you, since you are a Dove. That part of the GOP base is miniscule.
No i'm not. I just favor concentrating our military efforts on targets that constitute a genuine threat to our nation. I would have supported a massive operation against Afghanistan - even in Pakistan - to crush the Taliban and get Osama "Dead or alive". He was the 9-11 culprit - and we still haven't caught him. Why don't you accuse our policymakers of being "doves" because they've let Osama continue to roam free? It's as if, instead of hunting down the Atlanta killer of yesterday, police deployed all their forces against some bookies on the city's southside. Because I think Iraq was an unncessary diversion doesn't make me a dove.
