If terrorists and their "sympathizers" are so hot for Kerry to win, *why* doesn't this cause all sorts of alarm bells to go off in the heads of Americans?

Is half of America really that stupid or does half of America secretly wish to be destroyed?
[worse yet, do they believe that only "conservatives" will suffer at the hands of whomever they appease?]

Would Democrats knowingly doom us all -just- to regain power?

Actually, way more than half in the US are that stupid. Some vote for Bush because his name reminds them of beer. It's just that a smart and motivated minority pulls the rest along. Luckily, I deal with idiots on an infrequent basis. When I do, it takes ENORMOUS will power not to break something. That's why it is refreshing to know there are some intelligent life with common sense that add to discourse on FR.

Well...yes on both counts. There are a lot of liberals that subscribe to the hate-America philosophy. There are lots of people who believe they can run away from the problem and the terrorists won't hurt them. They don't realize that we're in a war for our survival - and that failure will be more painful than they can imagine.

Half of America is either stupid or hates America. Here's a conversation I could have with my sister:

Me: Why do you vote Democrat?

Sister: Because they believe what I believe.

Me: And what do they believe?

Sister: The same thing I believe.

Me: And what do you believe?

Sister: I told you, the same thing they believe.

Me: And what is their platform?

Sister: I'm not sure but it's what I believe.

Me: Do you believe in the democrats?

Sister: Yes.

Me: Why?

Sister: Because I'm a Democrat.

Me: Why are you a democrat?

Sister: Because they believe in what I believe.


I've actually had that conversation with her, almost verbatim. But if you actually sit down and talk real issues you'd swear she's a Republican. Again, it's mostly stupid people who make up the democrat base.

Would Democrats knowingly doom us all -just- to regain power?

Sadly YES!

Would Democrats knowingly doom us all -just- to regain power?

Yes, I believe they would. I think the Rats would like nothing better than to see another terrorist strike against this country just before the election. If the planned attack is uncovered in time and thwarted, they will claim that the Bush team staged the entire event as a campaign stunt. If the attack succeeds, the Rats will scream that the Bush White House should have seen this coming, and did nothing to stop it.
