What is it about being at war that the leading Democratic presidential candidates and Congressional leaders don’t understand?
Harry Reid:
- Talks opening about the war being lost while our soldiers are still engaged on the battlefield. Talk about defeatism!
- Talks openly about how war politics will help Democrats pick up seats next November…and we wonder why people are cynical about Washington politicians!
- Attacks the commanding general, currently leading our troops on the battlefield. Is anyone else outraged?
Hillary Clinton:
- Votes to authorize the war effort in Iraq but when the political winds start blowing a different direction, cuts, runs and votes against funding for our troops.
- Not only does she vote against funding our troops in Iraq in Afghanistan, forces that are currently on the battlefield, she then turns around and stuffs the Defense Authorization Act full of $150 million in unwanted military projects that just happen to benefit defense contractors in her home state. Some priorities!
John Edwards:
- Doesn’t even want to fight a war against terror!
And don’t even get me started on Nancy Pelosi, the House Leadership, and their priorities…
As a nation, we need to realize that come January 2009, this could be the thinking that occupies the Oval Office. Our nation is at war against an enemy dead-set on the destruction of our very way of life, against an enemy that has already stuck our homeland. John McCain is only leader with the experience, knowledge, and steadfast resolve to carry out the war against terror and radical Islamic fundamentalism. You may not agree with him all the time, but you will always know where he stands and that he’s prepared for this fundamental challenge.
