Who in the election will fight for our cause?
I didn't know how to title this post...
Without getting into a big political debate, can someone tell me, which candidates, on each side, will best be helping the Hep C research funding? It doesn't matter to me, whether you are saying Democrat/Republican/Indep., or whatever, I'm just curious if anybody knows from past history, researching this, or anything like that??? I'm not saying which party I'm affliated with, that doesn't matter in the general election anyway because you can vote across party lines in that election if you so choose. Anyway, I'm really curious about this. I'm also wondering if there's some website that might tell me where the various candidates stand in their past support of HIV, since I figure that if they have a good history with supporting HIV/AIDS research that they might care about HCV. Anyway, any info would be appreciated. I hope that this will not end up being a debate because that's not what I'm looking for.
Happy Holidays everyone.

id anyone see Hillary emotionally say that she is for this country. That got to me.
-----------------------
I was very surprised at how impressive she really was. Obama talks a lot of talk of nice words but I don't see him being able to change anything. Hillary's demeanor and speech gave me hope...but then again I am and always have been a supporter of the Clinton's (except they live in just about my hometown backyard and when they go on the highway they screw up the commute big time because you know they close the road exit to exit as they pass by). ;)

If we are really worried about Islamist terrorists coming here, wouldn't securing our borders and ports be of paramount importance? The fact that this administration hasn't done that makes me wonder how concerned they really are. Or, are they just that stupid? I am not impressed with the democrats on that issue either, by the way. None of the democratic candidates even mentions border security.
We just see it differently. I think that a common enemy unites disparate groups and galvanizes them and we are the perfect common enemy. And the enormous capital we're expending could be much better spent in so many other areas such as rebuilding this country's decrepit infrastructure, as one obvious example. I could go on but we both have heard it many times. We just disagree and that's okay with me - as long as you don't become the commander in chief.
Be well, Mike

When I'm hunting I can't think of a better scenario than my prey coming to my blind and congregating right where I am. Sure makes hunting easier. And as the next class in the madras (egg hatches) and finally graduates send them on over, too.
To think we are creating terrorists I believe is a naive view. The Islamic extremists in the middle east were born, not created in a training camp somewhere. Their children from a very young age are taught that Israel does not have a right to the land, and are zionists that must be wiped off of the earth. The US is the Great Satan, a Collaborator with the Zionists, the root of all evil in the western world with a decadent society,and bent on destroying all Muslims.
If anything goes wrong in any mid-east country who is not an ally for any reason at all, the CIA will always be behind it. This is the way the children are brought up. Even their cartoons talk about jihad and America. The only reason we see more in concentrated numbers is twofold. Access from surrounding Muslim countries apparently is fairly easy, and for most going to America as a terrorist may or may not happen some day. besides, Why wait when they can fight personally against the Great Satan, just by hopping on a camel. How could an Islamo-fascist pass this opportunity by ? Secondly, there is strength in numbers.
All terrorists have a hatred in them for infidels. This hatred was planted long before we got there. And it will continue if we leave. I cannot imagine surrendering to a group of murderous thugs with no respect for life and cruel beyond measure, living just a couple of generations more advanced than stone agers. Can you imagine the boost in recruiting they will get when they show the rest of the Muslim world that it IS possible to kick the Great Satan's ***. It will boost their members worldwide, and greatly embolden them. Yes, I think Bush is right. They will follow us back home. I still can't get over the thought of losing and surrendering. Victory is the best option at this point.
The idea that if we leave them alone, they will leave us alone so far has not worked out in our favor. Think WTC '94 and WTC 9-11, which happened before we occupied Arab land. They have a goal, and it matters not when it is completed. They have all the time in the world to fight this fight to wipe out all infidels, and install a theocratic regime globally. They will never leave us alone until their back has been broken permanently worldwide.
If the economy is only headed for a slowdown or a brief recession, a terrorist attack most certainly would turn it in a deep recession. Remember how long it was before people flew after 9-11 ? A dirty bomb could turn the world's biggest economy on its ear. It would have a very substantial global impact on the world's economic markets and the rersult could be worldwide recession.
I really believe it is better taking the fight to them there rather than fighting them over here. All the sob had to do was produce documents detaling the verifiable destruction of known ,tagged WMD.
I have a difficult time accepting the premise suggested by a couple of pundits that Saddam didn't think we would really do it. After '91 and '98 he HAD to know we would follow through on our word. besides there was no political risk, and only gain from the lightening of sanctions if he produced documents. It was a win-win for Saddam and he passed on it. This further suggested that he still had some.
There is alot at stake here---how this turns out will dictate how our kids and grandkids will live their lives. In constant fear of those who want us dead? Or a safer feeling that comes from security ? Our economy, core beliefs and American values, all hang in the balance against the threat of global extremist jihadists. And they have all the time in the world. They are not going away on their own.
