Are Democrats More Interested in Protecting Terrorists Than the American People?

DEMOCRATIC HYPOCRISY ON PARADE

democrat_official_seal.gif
George W. Bush, sitting in the Oval Office Monday night, made a fairly tame 17-minute speech to mark the fifth anniversary of 9/11. He talked about the global struggle against Islamic terrorism, how we must prevail and so on. He also mentioned the situation in Iraq and talked about why we had to prevail there. Pretty straightforward, don't you think? Well, not if you're a Democrat.

You see, the Democrats are now all up in arms because they say he president used his prime-time speech to try and generate support for the war in Iraq. Somehow on a day like 9/11, that is supposed to be inappropriate.

First of all, it isn't the war "in Iraq." It's a war against Islamic Fascism. Iraq is merely one of the fronts in that war. A major front, granted .. but just one of many.

Republicans weren't taking this lying down. Here comes House Majority Leader John Boehner, who called it like it is. Said Boehner, of the Democrats: "I wonder if they are more interested in protecting the terrorists than protecting the American people. They certainly do not want to take the terrorists on and defeat them." Right on John! But now the Democrat Appeasement Party is really upset.

Nancy Pelosi accused the GOP of the politics of fear, etc....the usual. All of this comes down to the charge that Bush is politicizing 9/11. But in fact, that's what the Democrats are doing. How in the world do they suppose that George Bush is supposed to give a public address from the Oval Office and not mention the war in Iraq? It's the fifth anniversary of 9/11. What is he supposed to talk about, college football?

You do understand the real problem here, don't you? Democrats don't want Bush reminding the nation of the threat that exists from Islamic fascists, and they certainly don't want Bush reminding the American people that he is trying to deal with that threat while Democrats talk of withdrawal and appeasement.

In short, they don't want Bush appearing to be strong while they appear to be weak.

Just ask yourself this question. If you were convinced that the threat from these Islamic murderers was real, who would you want in power to defend our country?

It's as easy as that.

Teddy Roosevelt? :a1:
Dave, if Teddy Roosevelt were typical of the Democrats today then I think you'd see a lot more support for the Democratic party. Unfortunately it seems like the Democratic view of international affairs is modeled after Jimmy Carter and not Teddy Rooselvelt.

A shame, isn't it?
 
I think it is a shame that it is now hard to tell the Demopublicans from the Republocrats.

That may well open up the door for additional political parties because except for the fringes of each party there is so much cross breeding that they are almost indestinguishable if you look at some of the positions they are taking and how both are working to confuse more issues than they clarify.

What if the new party is where they both intersect? Because, except for the fringes of each party, or extremes, they are becoming indestinguishable.....cross breeding is good sometimes, brings about stronger species...

It just doesn't make much sense to me to have a carriage driver expecting the carriage to move forward when his team of horses are trying to go in opposite directions...

Oh, and plz no lessons on political parties....;)
 
The answer to your question in the title to this thread is YES. DUH!:pat: Any more questions?
Bonehead

By the way, are you home from Florida yet?
 
I always shudder when I think about what ifs...what if Gore was president for 9/11? What if the John F Kerry had won last time around? What if we fight the terror on our own streets instead of a world away?

By the way, I refused ketchup the other day in a restuarant becasue it was heinz brand..anyone else boycot heinz products now? I understand Kerry's wife makes about a penny on every dollar spent for Heinz products, and I refuse to buy or use any of them.

Is it her fault that she was born into the family??? Is she any more responsible for his politics, than your wife is for your narrow minded thinking? That makes as much sense as the people today that won't buy a BMW because BMW made the ovens that the Jews were annihilated in. The BMW company today has nothing to do with the BMW company of 60 years ago. If reasonable people were to take your logic to the extreme degree that you do, then they wouldn't buy goods made in German or Japan, Mexico, Canada, etc..... all these countries have fought wars with the US.

Better get your facts straight.

Theresa Kerry WAS NOT born into the Heinz family. In fact she was not even born an American.

She inherited the Heinz fortune after Conservative Republican Senator John Heinz was killed under questionable circumstances.

Why is Joasis' thinking narrow minded?

Research where the Heinz money is going and who the Heinz money is supporting.

What loyal American would have bought a BMW, Mercedes or Mitsubishi during WWII?
 
Thank you Dutch...my point exactly...and Krupps of Germany was the designer and builder of the ovens, (as far as I have looked, I have been to Auschwitz, the ovens do not say BMW).

Ms. Heinz comments about common American citizens did not exactly endear her to me...I will; grant the point of narrow minded thinking...I think any company that is 98% offshore, isn't particulary interested in America..and even though Ms. Heinz/Kerry will never miss my money, I still choose to spend with discretion.

Yes, I am very narrow minded..extreamly narrow minded...when Kerry continuously refused to release his military service records, lied about the retuning of his medals in protest, made accusations of murder against fellow soldiers, none of which were substantiated, and exagerated and made many false claims of his military service...I consider him to be less then patriotic..and Ms. Heinz comments that anyone who would not vote for her huubby is stupid......since I don't live in Ma., where I can exercize my narrow minded attitude at the polls, i must rely on what little I have to vote with...so my pennies count.

While we do have some Heinz products in the cupboard now, we are big fans of RED GOLD tomato products and I love Red Gold Ketchup! Red Gold stewed tomatoes are the best. It is often hard to find their Ketchup in the stores, so when I see it, I stock up and buy several bottles.

It is reasonable to vote with your pocketbook. In fact, that is often the only choice people have.

Yes Bob and if you go by a red gold factory ( at least two i know of in indiana anyway) you will see fields of tomatoes where they support the local farmers.

We use Red Gold products for the simple reason that they ARE BETTER! Politics are not involved.
 
Now I do have something to look forward to, an American made product...see what we learn from these forums?

It may be a stupid position to ever think discretionary spending on my part will ever matter to anyone, but it makes me feel better.
