I have severe issues making "the War on Terror" and what our agencies are doing to protect us a partisan thing.
Bush is NOT protecting us any better or worse than any other president has or could. It is bullshit to say "elect GOP or die because the Dems. don't worry about your saftey."
To say or believe that is forgoing any other issue, and promotes a one party government...... and who is to blame if we get attacked under Bush?
Fuck who was responsible for 9/11..... everyone from Truman down was. Every president who gave aid to Isreal, trained Arabs to fight and spy, allowed weapons to be sold to them, kept us addicted to their oil - instead of setting up alternative fuel technology grants and studies and so on. Must I remind you that WE trained Osama, WE trained Saddam, WE kept the tyrannical Shah of Iran in power so that when the people overthrew him, of course we were satan.
It is bullshit to say 9/11 happened because of one president.... they all were f'n responsible.
But we cannot change the past, so we must work on a better future, under this administration we aren't.
We are still addicted to oil, we still support sadistic, tyrants (the royal Saudi family, whom I feel should not be trusted), we still are lax on even trying to understand them, we still allow 10's of 1,000's of illegals to cross over everday.... (how many of them could be terrorists just waiting for the right moment) and we still demand OUR will be done.
Bush has not changed or done anything to shift the attitudes over there.
What has protected us? Luck, the people whose job it is and the fact our country is free. Freedom can change a lot of hate filled minds.
We know AL-Quida makes a fortune off heroin...... yet, the numbers in use among our young increase monthly....
It's just a matter of time before we get hit again. The scary part is we'll allow that hit to destroy us from within.
As partisan as we are making this, this is what will happen:
If attacked under W.
If the Dems. take congress...... it'll be their fault.
If the GOP holds onto power.... it'll be the Dems fault because the GOP had to weaken their stances.
If we are fortunate to not have an attack until after the '08 election and a Dem wins:
See what happens when you elect a Dem.? See how they let our country get attacked?
If in '08 a GOP is elected:
The Dems weakened us during the race, took our focus off terrorism. The War and fighting Terrorism, must come first, above any other issue out there.....
Of course the Dems. will blame Bush and the war in Iraq, the way he didn't even try to develop alternative fuels, the way he kept the Sauds in power, Isreal funded and blah blah blah.
It's time to end the fucking blah blah blah, work on a truly bi-partisan plan and stick to it.
But alas even our safety is political fodder and fear used to get people elected.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
