I see that John Hieger and Randy Henderson have gotten the latest DNC talking points telling people to endlessly claim that anybody who supports the president even in the slightest way must be some stupid sheep who follows the president blindly and tows the party line religiously. Unfortunately, they must not have read many of my other articles, because I have spent plenty of time questioning Bush policies.
Randy and John must be under the impression that I’m pulling down a paycheck from the RNC or that I’m in on conference calls with the president and Karl Rove each morning so they can personally tell me what to argue that day. I’m flattered that Randy and John think I’m important enough to be getting such daily calls. Hate to burst your bubble but believe it or not, these thoughts are my own.
For some reason, Randy thinks Senator Kerry will be better at fighting terrorism. I see that the DNC talking points must have ignored the fact that Kerry has voted against dozens of funding proposals for the military and veterans and that his voting record paints a clear anti-military picture. That’s not to even mention Kerry’s support for gutting the CIA and other intelligence agencies.
If Kerry had his way in the 1990s, there would be no CIA today. Yet Randy thinks he’s better to fight terrorism. Interesting. Randy must still be stuck in the old paradigm that terrorism is a criminal justice matter, not a military matter. I thought decades of experience proved that wrong, but I guess there are still those closed minded liberals that refuse to look at evidence.
John also thinks that President Bush has been completely ineffective in fighting terrorism. Another interesting point of view. Maybe I was out of the country on these days, but I haven’t seen any more skyscrapers falling down in urban centers lately. In fact, I haven’t seen a single terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11. However, I have heard of dozens of attacks that have been thwarted.
I hate to remind John and Randy about a little thing called the US Constitution, but the #1 duty of the president is to protect America and its people. Seems to me like President Bush has done a fairly decent job at it so far.
But I guess that’s just me blindly and foolishly following the party line and not thinking for myself. By the way, Mr. Rove, I’m still waiting for my pay check, it must have been lost in the mail.
