THOUGHTS ABOUT THE 2008 ELECTION

     SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THE 2008 ELECTION

                            
  Demo candidates Hillary, Obama and Edwards  are unacceptable and are dividing
  their party vote  with many Dems looking at Republican candidates
 
 Rudy G stands out, in age of terror, as a leader because of 9-11 attack and his  demeanor immediately afterwards.  Whether or not Americans admit it,  the war on
 terror and homeland safety are the principal concerns when deciding who the next 
 President will be. These concerns (fears) transcend party affiliations.
 
 Political parties have little meaning today. The political field is dominated by
  individuals, with name recognition and money (and the ability to raise tons more).
 
  Political parties are nothing more than ballot lines. Political party organizations
  exist largely in name only and on paper. TV and radio adds, and media coverage
  have largely replaced committeemen who no longer go door to door or work their
  districts.
 
  Pro Life voters have to make a choice: does their concern for the fate of the unborn
  outweigh their concern for the living, including themselves and their loved ones?
 
  The 2008 national election is about survival of our nation and our way of life, neither of
  which is without flaws. Those who view the 2008 election as politics as usual, about
  political power or entertainment are dead wrong.
 
  As with most elections, it comes down to choosing the lesser of two evils, and putting
  our trust in an individual who shows the most promise as a leader who can serve as
  an effective Commander In Chief in the struggle against Islamic militants at home and
  abroad, for years to come.
 
  The Democratic Senators and Members of Congress, along with some Republicans
  who are promoting resolutions to undermine the war effort in Iraq and Afghanistan are
  doing a great injustice to our troops, and ultimately, great harm to our nation. Their
  politically motivated resolutions are destroying any chance we have of prevailing in
  our efforts to provide stability in the Middle East thereby denying nation state bases
  for the Islamic militant terrorists who seek to destroy us.
 
  The troops may come home, but it will not be long before they will see action in
  America's cities engaging the foreign terrorists , and their allies from among the millions
  of illegal immigrants and native-born malcontents, who dwell amongst us and who have
  no respect us, our history, our culture and our institutions.
 
The images of Baghdad we see in the papers and on tv, today, are destined to appear in urban America before long. Cutting and running in the Middle East and Afghanistan   will only hasten that day.
 
None of the current crop of Presidential contenders has shown the courage of
Australian Prime Minister Howard, and other Aussies, who have clearly laid it on
 the line to Islamic malcontents and militants, as well as any other immigrant group. To paraphrase: respect our history, culture, institutions, way of life; speak English
or clear off! Go to some other part of this planet.
 
 The American voters will be voting for their  own survival, or demise, in 2008.
