It scares me.

Answer 1

I recall seeing a video clip of Republican candidate Mitt Romney stating that he would double the size of Guantanamo and being appalled. Doesn't this clown realize that America doesn't look good when it tortures and holds people indefinitely? The American populace is generally clueless about anything outside of the borders of the United States, and the presidential candidates have to pander to that cluelessness.

Answer 2

Unqualified isn't the wisdom i could use for McCain, out of touch is plenty extra beneficial or in basic terms incorrect. he's a multi millionaire and the suited Washington insider regardless of his plenty used maverick moniker. he's a exceptional chum of huge business enterprise this is the final component the rustic desires precise now and in spite of his long protection rigidity historic past he seems to lack wisdom of the want for international kinfolk over protection rigidity action. After what we've had for the previous 8 years and the form the rustic is in, McCain is the final component we want precise now

Answer 3

I read the link.

Let me address some of the comments from that link.

"the world is growing more dangerous...", of course. The more countries that have nuclear weapons, the more dangerous it is. Other than taking over the world, I see no way to stop countries from getting nuclear weapons.

"Nearly 9 in 10 say that they do not believe terrorist attacks would occur inside the United States as the result of a withdrawal from Iraq." How can anyone believe that? They'll attack us the first chance they get, like they always have. If we abandon Iraq, it will be viewed as a huge victory for the terrorists, they'll take over Iraq, or Iran will, and they'll train and plan until the time is right for them.

I trust President Bush far more than I trust who ever the "terrorism index experts" are. We haven't been attacked since 2001, and we have the terrorists on the run. They don't have time to plan attacks on us, they're too busy running to keep us from killing them.

These so-called experts confuse me. They say "Nearly 9 in 10 say that they do not believe terrorist attacks would occur inside the United States as the result of a withdrawal from Iraq.", and also "Almost 80 percent of the experts oppose an immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq." So which is it? If leaving Iraq won't cause terror attacks on us, why do 80 percent of the "experts" oppose it?

Sounds like an america bashing bush hating hate group to me.

Answer 4

Most of them scare me:

Hilaryshould not contradict her own words.

If Giuliani really believes that the Sunnis are going to live under a Shi'ite clique and that the Shi'ites are going to give oil to the Sunnis, he is an idiot.

If McCain really believes that we have all the terrorists tied down in Iraq, he is an idiot.

If Obama really believes we can solve our problems without communicating with all parties, he is not as bright as I thought.

Who knows what a politician really believes?

Answer 5

The pres candidates are playing the game. The illusion that we really have a choice. It doesn't matter which of the puppets gets elected except maybe Ron Paul which is why he will never be elected. If he ever gets any momentum he will be demonized by the corporate controlled media who already make him out to be some kind of nut because he believes in that piece of paper. The constitution. I believe the next Pres has already been choosen. Corporate media can elect anyone they want. Our next president has been choosen and her name is Hillary Clinton.

Answer 6

what scares me is your citing Carnegie Endowment for International Peace as "the ...country's most respected International Affairs experts."

Just Say No to the New World Order.

edit hmm i see only one other poster has made the connection to the Council On Foreign Relations.
.

Answer 7

Problem is did many of these so called experts when in an administration cause the problems we are living with today. So I really think they might not be totally reliable.,

Answer 8

Have you ever noticed that 40% of the 20% of people vote based only on the part being represented.

Sadly I haven't made up these numbers' I'll try to find a web site, I have hard copys and no scanner :S

Answer 9

Anything that comes from the Council On Foreign Relations is mostly plotted script. One of their so-called 'experts' was recently cajoling how Iran's psycho Mullahs and Ahmadenijad were really peace seeking fellows.

Now that's scary.

Answer 10

As is well established they say one thing and do as the special interest demands once elected. We are staying the course but it will taper off soon. We and Iraq will continue to sustain casualties very regularly.
