With our porous borders, our ports doing only spot cargo inspections, our food and water supply vulnerable to tampering it is largely luck that we have not had another 9/11 or worse. But it’s coming. And then I want to see what the media will say about “fear mongering” and I would like to see what the one-issue conservatives will say about national security not being as important as abortion.
We do know relatively how many little defenseless little boys and girls we will kill every year. You’re the one hypothesizing that terrorism is worse than it has ever proven itself to be.

“I can only look at the here and now and the threats we are facing.”
Yes, you can and should, but you are not looking at the here and now. You’re hypothesizing, instead, to support your flawed reasoning that the certain killing of 6 million children (in the next four years) somehow takes a back seat to hypothetical terrorist attack.
I think your analysis is solid. If Gore gets in, it’s the end of Hillary. But who on the Republican side will be the one to beat Gore (I suppose any of them would be better). With Hillary, the most pundits agree the strongest matchup would be Rudy. Who is it with Gore, in your opinion.
‘The fact that an untested, done nothing yet rookie like Obama is giving Hillary a run for the money does suggest that she is not invincible. If Gore gets in, I agree that he runs away with the nomination.’
Yep.
I think Americans are quite ready for a female President.
Just not Hillary Clinton. Most find her at best ‘distasteful’.
Which is why I don’t waste much time ranting and raving about either Clinton, to be honest. They are both so last century.
“I think Americans are quite ready for a female President.”
Does this mean you think Rudy will win?
‘I think your analysis is solid. If Gore gets in, its the end of Hillary. But who on the Republican side will be the one to beat Gore (I suppose any of them would be better). With Hillary, the most pundits agree the strongest matchup would be Rudy. Who is it with Gore, in your opinion.’
Too soon to tell. Romney, despite the flip flop accusation (they have merit) has run a very good campaign to date. Duncan Hunter is also running a good campaign, but he’s just not a dynamic enough speaker to ‘break through’ so far, but that could change.
Thompson’s built up a helluva lot of buzz, the problem is if he doesn’t tamp it down a bit before announcing, he runs a large risk of disappointment/disillusionment.
McCain has no chance whatsoever, he never did prior to this (2000).
Guiliani can’t gain the nomination because of gun control, and to a lesser extent his views on abortion. Gay marriage kills him politically, call it the political version of ‘partial birth abortion’. He was half way there......
Its early enough to say who won’t win, but its still too early to say who will win, if you see what I mean. Right now, the Democrats are once again carrying a bunch of unelectable candidates again (Hillary, Edwards, Kucinich, Biden, and Obama).
The Republicans have three guys that could possibly win the RNC primaries, Romney, Hunter and Thompson. And if they do, they’ll be a great contrast to whoever the Dems nominate in the end, because the Dems are wholly committed to September 10th, 2001 politics these days.
Average voters may be unhappy with how Iraq has been handled, but they know the enemy is Islamofacism, and that won’t go away because of who we elected here.
And Americans across the political spectrum are as unified as you can expect on any issue in regards to hating the Amnesty Bill, which McCain just loves to death....
‘I think Americans are quite ready for a female President.
Does this mean you think Rudy will win?’
Nope. It means he’s going to end up hoping for a GOP administration position in the end.
Any one of them.
The guy is a complete arrogant ass. It took a poor campaigner like Bush to even make him credible and his positions have become more extreme since that election.
‘But who on the Republican side will be the one to beat Gore
Any one of them.

Hmmm. Somewhat agree.
I qualify it because I think its pretty clear Algore had a midlife crisis/mental breakdown after the 2000 election cycle. He’s far more unhinged these days then he was in 2000, in other words.
Its funny, both he and Obama are given to wild exaggerations. Algore says the seas will rise 23 FEET, when scientists say at worst it would be 23 INCHES.
Obama overstated the number of dead from a recent tornado to be ‘10,000 dead’ when the actual number was 12 or 13.
LOL! Riiiiight....
I don't know who wrote this but they are clueless.....
Once conservatives find out the truth about Rooty Tooty they will drop him like a hotcake.....
Writer, take note! Conservatives will NOT "put social issues on the back burner"......
He may have an "R" by his name, but Rudy is a liberal......
I'm deeply concerned that Bush has lost his mind......
He just doesn't understand that LEGAL immigration is what has been the lifeblood of our country's history......
Not ILLEGAL immigration!"
It’s hysterical that someone who used to be paid to write speeches for Ronald Reagan could say that “conservatives would put social issues on the back burner!!!” Ha, ha, ha, that’s so funny, she has a sense of humor!
There. Fixed it.
Misplaced loyality????I owe no loyality to a Journalist named Peggy Noonan, I don't care if she can wax as poetic as Garrison Keillor. I do owe President Bush some loyality, and I support him and his efforts to guide this country.
Has Peggy lost her mind?
Anyone who supports legalized murder (abortion) is unfit for any public office.
Mountainfolk, even has you speak.. about Gingrich, Gingrich is on TV Now on Fox bashing President Bush, the newly appointed head of the conservative folks on Fox acting like he speaks for all Republicans, it is enough to make you... barf!
Oh by the way Newt... what elected Office do you hold? You don’t you are just a “talking head” paid for by the Mass media to stir the pot.
You're right, it's an invasion. Why can't Bush see that?
