Why would we entrust Republicans with our military?

Question

It’s clear that Republicans are far too interested, financially speaking, in the Military Industrial Complex to be trusted to run the military. War is a business to Republicans, they get us involved in wars for the sake of more war and more business for their campaign contributors.

How can we possibly trust the Republicans with our military again?

suthrnlyts- not the point at all. It's the Republican Politicians running the show that matter to this question.

mckenziecalhoun- very eloquent, but I'm simply asking if we should trust them to 'do that for our country' anymore.

DrDebate- you're the one talking nonsense. CLEARLY, the Bush Adminstration is in charge of executing and managing the current wars. The vote for or against or popular opinion has nothing to do with this question. The question is if the Republican Party is too corrupted with military money to be trusted to run it. Is it a conflict of interest on the most serious level?

regerugged- regurgitating conservative talk radio, thanks, I've never seen or heard or read about a republican doing that before.

Mr. Burns- it was peace time. are you suggesting we should endlessly expand our military, even during peace time? i actually think peace time is a good time not to have to spend tons of money on military. that's what war time is. see the difference?

Answer 1

you can't trust any political party. period. too many agendas you don't even know about.

Answer 2

Rev Wright is best to me by way of fact it is going to what he truly believes. i've got self belief if he replaced into truly a Christian, he does no longer have stayed at that church for two decades. i'd sense the comparable way as though McCain replaced into at a church like Westboro Baptist, who praises the those that killed some gay guy and save a working count kind of the days the guy has been 'burning in hell.' yet individually, i do no longer think of McCain can win till he factors out the adjustments between his regulations and what Obamas regulations would be. I propose, according to probability he's have been given a element with those questionable ties (i think of he does), inspite of the incontrovertible fact that it could no longer resonate with people who're uninterested in attack classified ads. it will merely turn them off. <<

Answer 3

I didn't vote for him that's for sure. I have never ever voted rep., and never will. They have to get the country in more debt. And they blame the welfare system for the bill owed. Which is under 10% of our deficit. So how much does it costs for one fighter jet and a tank or two, much less the uniforms, guns, food, medicine. I could go on and on about this. Better stop here. Before a repubilican points a finger and states that - I'm a lier and I don't know what I'm talking about. Never trust a right winger. Teach your children well.....................

Answer 4

Goodness sake, the same could be said for my party's interest in welfare and other domestic issues! How silly!

That's their function. That's what they do for our country. That's why when things cool down, we go back into office.

We're Americans, not foreign enemies!

Have you forgotten that? Has political bigotry, started up again in force during the President Clinton years, gone so far off the edge of sanity?

Not me, thank you.

I'm a patriot first. I don't hate half the country.

Answer 5

You don't know what you're talking about. If you want to vent a bunch of non-sense, bend over and yell at the floor - don't bug the wall with this stuff.

When 80% of the country wanted to go to war against terrorist was that "Republican business?" When Hillary Clinton voted to go to war against Iraq, was that Republican business. When Obama (just recently) said if he was elected president he would invade Pakastan, is that Republican business.

Do you smell that? That's your poop. Get your head out of there.

Military money? What are you smoking?

Answer 6

Serious about this?

Under Clinton the military was reduced to "I'm okay--you're okay" politically correct BS.

Hillary's Tail hook inquisition further reduced the ranks of many officers who opposed her views.

The military is all that stands between the United States and the socialist left; it's why the dems dislike the Armed Forces

Answer 7

the Iran-Contra scandal, Oli North; drugs ,money and arms exchanged . Iran freed hostages as soon as Reagan got elected. Iran's Hezbollah owes them their existence. the recreated them and the AlQaeda. they all co-exist, and help each other to achieve common goal, money.

Answer 8

Yeah... it's better to leave it to the democrats. We will have nothing but cowards and fighting with cardboard swords. We will never have to deploy since we will just save time and money surrendering in the beginning. The boneheads are out in full force today.

Answer 9

The dems have been and continue to be wimps when it comes to national defense. I would not consider voting for a dem for president. When it comes to standing up to and fighting an enemy, the dems are the cowards who cut an run.
Done of your negative comments are correct.

Answer 10

Because the Democrats will most likely surrender at the drop of a hat, much like the French.

Answer 11

If you feel that strongly about it, speak your mind at the polls. That's the only way to do anything about it.

FWIW, I think both parties are corrupt. But the republicans are less corrupt.
