Statistically -- we've been hit by a (successful) major foreign terrorist attack every 8~9 years for the past many decades -- and that is likely to continue for the foreseeable future regardless of who gets elected.
The difference is whether you'll have someone who will be largely ineffectual (Democrat) or someone who will over-react with rampant paranoia and irrational counter-attacks (Republican).

Eventually there will be another attack, it doesn't matter who's in charge. Both the Democrats and Republicans are idiots, you'd think 6 years after 9/11 the borders and ports would at least be secured, but of course, they're not. Bush hasn't prevented a terrorist attack no more than he's prevented an alien attack, he's been lucky and that's about it, evidently the terrorists are smarter than our leaders, but then again, just anyone is smarter than the imbeciles that currently run the country.

Probably! I think the chance is greater with a Democrat since they aren't concerned about our borders.
How can we LOGICALLY blame Bush for 9/11? He hadn't been in office very long. Clinton was the one that passed up getting Osama!
It's kind of scary when the bad guys want Hillary to be the next president. I think that's a good reason NOT to elect her.

President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, didn't fight back when the US was attacked a number of times; his administration opened the doors for the most heinous attack on US soil: 9-11-2001. I, for one, feel safer with a Republican president.
You can't talk or reason with people who want you dead...and that would include all Americans: Con & Lib alike, but the liberal Dem's believe they can; and I hope they never get the chance to prove I'm right.
Guess which party the terrorist are endorsing: Dem's! makes you think...

It's a question of when not if. The dopey Clinton administration, lead by Janet Reno, would not allow info to be passed by the FBI to the CIA; had they... the info was there to prevent 9-11. Way to go Dems!
Pres. Bush went after the terrorists responsible after the only attack while he was president; America was attacked 5 times without retaliation under Clinton.

Another attack is going to happen. Even if you don't like some of the actions Bush has taken (I don't) you must admit they are working. Look at the events that have been stopped. If they were stagged the dems would have been on the hill with the media.

I would never trust a dem/lib regarding foreign policies or National Security. If they wanted to surrender before, they would next time, if they have the power to do it. We better be very careful who we elect, it better be someone who will stand up to terrorist, even though it means being bashed, or our future after the 08 election could be destroyed forever.
Hillary Clinton over her position on government surveillance, capitalizing on allegations that she listened to a secretly recorded conversation between political opponents.
In a fundraising e-mail from the Republican National Committee, RNC Chairman Robert M. Duncan writes:
“What is most remarkable about this is that Hillary has spent this year fighting Republican efforts to give our intelligence services the ability to monitor terrorist calls coming into or out of the United States.
“In other words, the Clinton attack machine is apparently fine with listening in on phone calls if it bolsters her political ambitions – but Hillary doesn’t want to give America’s intelligence services the ability to conduct surveillance on terrorists plotting to attack our nation.”
The e-mail alludes to a report in the book “Her Way” by former New York Times investigative reporter Jeff Gerth and Times investigative reporter Don Van Natta Jr. They write that during Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, Hillary “received memos about the status of various press inquiries, she vetted senior campaign aides; and she listened to a secretly recorded audiotape of a phone conversation of Clinton critics plotting their next attack.”
Between her wiretapping everyone else in the white house , while she was JUST a first lady, and downloading the big brother computer files for her and Bill's own selfish reasons, I would never ever trust them two in the white house again. It was Clinton's fault because of 911, we do not need another one.
"The tape contained discussions of another woman who might surface with allegations about an affair with Bill. Bill's supporters monitored frequencies used by cell phones, and the tape was made during one of those monitoring sessions."
Old Hillary and her double standards, just keep poppin up.
It also charges that Hillary has “flip-flopped” on the war on terror and Iraq, first saying “it would be a mistake to set a date for withdrawing troops from Iraq, then voting to establish a timetable for surrender from this vital front in the war on terror…
“We cannot afford four more years of the Clintons!”
They are dangerous to our health and not for the best interest of the US.

I think another attack is looming...but I believe a Republican will fight with more force than a Democrat; it seems today's Dem's want to try & talk the problems away, rather than confront evil. Dem's are pandering to ILLEGAL immigrants, are against the patriot act & hold Bill Clinton in high regaurd even after the US was attacked by terrorism 5 times. At least Mr. Bush is fighting back.

No matter which party is in control, another attack is imminent. The Islamic fascists see no difference between Democrat or Republican. I sincerely hope that whoever wins in 2008, they are strong on national defense. It still doesn't mean they can prevent it from happening, but at least lessen the potential destruction. It is my hope that we can come together and see through our diversities to become "One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

I really would like to see someone elected who is not part of the good'ol boy network. Otherwise it is just more of the same. These people will do nothing different than the ones before them did. I would like a real election once again. If we would start minding our own business instead of making threats world wide we probably wouldn't be a target.

There will be another attack on our military and citizens, and possibly even on our own soil. The location and ferociousness of the attack will depend entirely on the level of protection provided at our borders and the functionality we allow the Department of Homeland Security.
