OK folks. Here's your chance to shine. Let's hear some real insight. Please, no cutsie 2-3 word answers. But some legitimate effort into it. We may all learn something from you!
P.S. I'm not giving Liberals the easy way out. Saying they would re-elect Bush is not an option. However, as a fair minded Conservative, I am more than willing to give Best Answer to a Liberal's answer. I don't favor people who share my views. I want to see scathing insight, and real imagination. Let the contest begin !!

Rabble Rouser has an interesting response, but does he forget that just four days before the election, Osama Bin Laden issued a videotaped warning to America against voting for Bush?
Are you still so sure we don't know what the terrorists want?

Dennis Kucinich. He believes that islamo-supremacists can be reasoned with, that nuclear weapons are never an option, that we should listen to our allies in Europe(who those people are outside of the UK I have no idea) D.K. is a classic liberal who thinks that the reason the terrorists hate us is because of something the US has done. It never dawns on him that the world has truly evil people bent on imposing their will on others at the point of a gun, and that only by standing up to them and causing them pain and death will they stop. Thank God he has as much of a chance of being president as I do, but it's scary how much of his point of view can be found in all the Dem's running in 08

Well, if the terrorists had their say... no American would be elected... they would elect Bin Laden... In fact, if terrorists had their say - there would be no elections at all... just rule by force.
They would certainly not elect Bush or Clinton... because both have been bad for the people they claim to protect.
It is unfair for ignorant republicans to connect terrorism with democracy... its one of the worst things you can do to all of us.
It's hitting below the belt and it's an immoral way to promote one's agenda.
Republicans who claim to know what the terrorists want are a bit scarier than the terrorists themselves in my opinion... the type of loose cannons that don't know when to stop.
Shame on you for perpetuating this mindless rhetoric.
It's an absolute shame that some Americans use their freedom of speech for such hate and devisiveness.
With devisive attack campaigns like this - do you really think we're any different from them?

It's a foolish question really. But the answer is I have no idea. I don't really know who "the Terrorists" are.
You question reflects the problem with most conservatives, they like to oversimplify complex problems and them create simple solutions that don't work.
Look at the invasion of Iraq. Bush and Cheney thought it would be easy to defeat Saddam (and it was) and then they thought all the Iraqi people would magically come together like the Munchkins did when Dorothy dropped her house on the Wicked Witch of the East. Unfortunately that is not the reality on the ground.
The truth is Terrorism is a very complex issue and there is not one group called "the terrorists" have a single unified agenda.
So the answer to your question is it depends on which terrorists we are talking about. Sunnis or Shiites in Iraq? Hamas in Lebanon? These are just 3 terrorist groups and they all want something different.

A real terrorist has no interest in order or reconciliation. So I would suspect they want an inept candidate.
In that sense they would probably care about two things. A candidate that is not of the major party in Congress, and a candidate with limited foreign affairs skills or background.
A candidate that is inclined to open dialog and providing aid is not a terrorist's candidate. Getting schools and hospitals and publicizing it is not what a terrorist wants to see.
So I believe a terrorist wants a hawk, and if the Democrats hold on to Congress a Republican so that there's gridlock.
The terrorist might prefer "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran" McCain.
Nothing about whether or not he'd be a good President for us, but one they could rally militants around.

It is time to eliminate the Electoral College and move through the preferred vote. We additionally have to return to paper ballots, in view that the machines have tested that they more commonly do not paintings, I have noticeable this myself. Polling locations have to quit being transformed, so there's no confusion. Redistricting to desire one social gathering, as occurred in Texas, will have to be stopped. We additionally want displays to make certain that there's no tampering or errors on the polls. If there may be any query approximately who gained, we'd like a recount, the electorate will have to constantly come to a decision. If you feel that whatever is mistaken, write your congress individual. Check and spot who's balloting in some way you disagree with and do not vote for that individual once more. The groundwork of a democracy is that the men and women come to a decision who will constitute them and their needs. If they don't seem to be representing us, nearly all of electorate made a mistake or whatever has long gone mistaken and demands to be corrected. If you feel that your vote does not rely and do not vote, it most likely may not rely. As a rule of thumb, if you happen to are not very, very rich (just like the oil manufacturer pros) vote Democratic.

Hillary. The terrorists loved her husband; they were able to plan out 9/11 largely while under his watch. And even when he knew where they were and had the opportunity to kill the head of Al-Queda, ol' Billy Clinton didn't do it.
I can only assume his wife's presidency will be more of the same, especially if you can remember all the "Well its actually Hillary that's running the country" jokes while Bill was in office.
Lets see, she hates the military, the police, and anyone who tries to protect our country... yep that sounds like she's got Osama's vote.

Elect Bush (the other). Being related is like being two peas in the same pod.
Only US citizens can vote, so I'm assuming that you are calling all Americans terrorists by implying that terrorists will be choosing our next president.
sure, sure...I know...that's reading too much into it.

terrorists would obviously want the democratic candidate, because democrats are soft on terrorism, if not somewhat in league with the terrorists
