It happens.

My question was this:  Since you have mentioned that you find terrorism to be your biggest concern, what gives you the feeling that someone with no relatable experience would be the best choice to counter that?

Again, all subjective and ripped from leftist talking points.  I think the terror alert system is pretty ridiculous but there was no correlation between the raising of alert levels and the Bush Administration "catching heat."  Primarily, this is an impossible point to make because the definition of "catching heat" varies from one person to the next.  Not to mention the fact that the Bush Administration has been "catching heat" for years (some it it quite justifiable, in my opinion) which makes it impossible to pick a certain time to parse.  Beyond that, the terror alert level was raised only when there were credible and/or actionable threats received.  This information was not only never in dispute by anyone inside our outside the Administration (even those Democrats privy to the information), it was corroborated by George Tenet, a Clinton appointee who was known to be no fan of President Bush.

Bush's inference that the electing of a Democrat would lead to less stability wasn't fearmongering any more than Kerry's "we need to end this war before more of them come after us" schtick was.  It was typical election-year drivel designed to point out the opponent's weakness.  Kerry wished to call it a day in Iraq, Bush thought that would open it up into a Somalia-like terrorist haven.  His inference, however silly, was based on that notion and that notion alone.  If one wishes to call that fearmongering, then one has to accept that Kerry and his side offered the exact same thing in reverse.  I don't think either of it is true...I think both just tried to paint the other as hell-bent on sending us in the wrong direction.  Typical election-year verbiage.

I agree with your assessment of Mrs. Clinton, so I can understand that sentiment somewhat.  But what of Obama's corrupt dealings with Rezko? 

If anyone actually thought Obama had "fire in the belly," that thought disappeared last night when he ran out of a press conference in which reporters finally started asking him the sorts of questions they'd been asking other candidates all along.  It was rather embarrassing to behold, and was yet another piece of evidence pointing towards his being a bit too green for the position he seeks.

I DID NOT post those! Where did you get those and why does it say my name??

O drummergirl... you know me so well... *shakes head in confusion*  So how did that self validation topic go? Everyone still think you're a twelve year old girl trapped in a 45 year old perverts body?

I'm perfectly capable of an intelligent response... but what you post, while it may be fact, is a completely different statistic having nothing to do with the same topic. Quit dodging around the facts.


So here is your intelligent response...

The attacks I listed were ALL deliberate, calculated murders and acts of war against innocent civilians, men, women and children. The question you need to ask yourself is if Billary were in office and we were in Iraq, which might I add was planned out during the Clinton administration and voted in favor of by both Bill, when he was is office and Hillary while she is in her senate seat, would you feel the same about this war? Or is it because a republican is at the helm that you throw all reason out the window and do what the media along with their do gooder hippie mentality that eventually will lead us to a completely government run and controlled society tells you to. So go ahead and drink your koolaid.

GG, I don't understand what you're implying. I feel like, of our wonderful choices of candidates, John McCain would give terrorism the most attention. I don't think he underestimates the capabilities of Al Qaeda. Wouldn't you say he has more experience with it than Clinton or Obama?

Ahh, well don't I feel sheepish!  I had you confused with Marni (evidently my feeble brain is only able to handle one username beginning with "m" at a time! haha) who was the one that favored Mister Obama.  And of course, the inexperienced Obama was the candidate I was referring to in my post.  No wonder you were confused.  Completely my error.
