Kerry: Gaining Edge on Terror
| Sun, 07-25-2004 - 6:35pm |
"Senator John Kerry said on Friday he would seek to persuade voters over the next three months that he would do a "better job than George Bush" in protecting the nation from terrorism..." http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/25/politics/campaign/25KERR.html?ei=5065&en=789ba5a17982cc66&ex=1091332800&partner=MYWAY&pagewanted=print&position=
"In response to a question, Mr. Kerry said he has given no thought to the possibility of a terrorist attack taking place in the midst of the presidential campaign. "I don't think about it; I can't control it," he said." http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2004/07/i_cant_conrol_i.html
He certainly can inspire confidence.

He is a United States Senator (who chooses not to attend but 11% of the votes held during the past 12 months).
He has power, but it seems he chooses not to put it to use in the way the people of Massachusetts elected him to do so.
Oh, and Saudi Arabia is just a wonderful country, democratic, free...it fully deserves our total support!

No one is asking Kerry to send the Massachusettes militia to root out Al Queda sleeper cells at the DNC.
Presidential candidates are expected to demonstrate their leadership ability so that people will be confident they are voting for someone who can actually lead.
'I don't know. I don't think about it," is not an acceptable answer if a presidential candidate is asked if original recipe or extra crispy is better let alone

But he was, on other occasions, asked that larger question, and he THEN DID ANSWER it.
What kind of answer did you expect? I'm baffled.
But the answer, "I'm sure something will pop into my head here," to the question "Have you made mistakes?" is so inspiring?
If Kerry wins, I would expect to see some of the same during his 4 years in office.
To me, the only reason I would vote for Bush is that he is currently the lesser of two evils, as I am too educated to fall for Kerry's jobs proposal as he does not give all the details (then again what politician does).
If Hussein did not unconditionally surrender, we would not have had to worry about Iraq now, as he would have been either removed or killed back in the early 90's. Gen. Schwarzkopf wanted to go into Baghdad and take him out back then, and with hindsight, it looks like he was 100% right (just as Patton was right about taking Stalin out, and MacArthur was right about the Chinese)
What does Saudi Arabia have to do with the war in Iraq?????
I think that a rule should be put into effect that if you are a Congressman or a Senator and wish to run for the Presidency, you have to give up your seat as Bob Dole did. It is truly the only way that you are not only doing a service to the voters who put you into the seat by allowing someone who will actually be able to fulfill the job, but then you (the candidate) will also be able to concentrate solely on the campaign. Just a thought.

So you should have no problem posting it here.
