Reply #91: Um, we tried your way in '04, yes?

How's that working out for us?

As for you 9/11 stretch, it matters little what I believe. It matters what a given presidential candidate can MAKE the American people believe. You're dreaming if you think another "terra attack" on U.S. soil won't ramp up the Repubs "advantage" on national security issues. I know the reason we're being attacked is because we're hated now more than ever, and you know it, and this message board knows it. Trouble is, we knew it before the election as well.

Taking "tough positions on national security" - I like it. Could you tell me what Mark Warner's position on that is? And how he came to such a position? And how he can prove it to the voting populace? Edwards tried - and America cringed. Now, if you think that a guy who founded Nextel has those qualifications, then I'm all Ross Perot - I'm all ears.

I watched the most charismatic politician I have seen since Clinton get destroyed by one of the most vile during the VP debate in '04, and I'll be damned if I'm taking the "well this time it will be different" stance that some here wish.

So please tell me who we can run to diffuse this Republican advantage - and it IS an advantage, for the MSM will make it so, just like they did in '04.

I'll listen, and I'll ignore the "far right hawk/five star general" crack.

You're probably just tired.
