In the cesspool that Washington has become, truth and clarity still manage to bubble to the surface on occasion.

As Senator Hillary Clinton intensifies and refines her spin, deception, and self-aggrandizement, she inadvertently slipped up in a big way and revealed a truth that will doom her campaign and her party’s chances to reclaim the White House in 2008.

Last week, while campaigning in New Hampshire, Senator Clinton said, “It’s a horrible prospect to ask yourself, ‘What if? What if?’ But if certain things happen between now and the election, particularly with respect to terrorism, that will automatically give the Republicans an advantage again…”

Said comment was immediately attacked by some of her Democratic rivals for the White House. Why? Because they don’t want the voters of America to be reminded that when it comes to terrorism, the Republican candidates are much more willing to do whatever it takes to protect the homeland.

About the same time that Senator Clinton was offering a truth she is now desperate to take back, Vice Admiral (Ret) John Scott Redd, the Head of the National Counterterrorism Center, was granting an interview to Newsweek magazine in which he categorically stated that “We have very strong indicators that Al Qaeda is planning to attack the West.” When pressed on where, he continued, “Well, they would like to come West, and they would like to come as far West as they can.” Obviously, “as far West as they can,” would be the United States.

The citizens of our nation are very intelligent. More intelligent than most of those now running for president. They fully understand, that if we can’t stop these terrorists, then nothing else really matters. Not health care, not education, not energy consumption, and not the condition of our infrastructures. The American people know that job one of any president is the national security of our nation. Get that wrong and say goodbye to all the other issues. Period.

When it comes to fighting terrorists, our fellow citizens continually wonder what part of “We plan to exterminate America” our politicians don’t understand? They know that unless destroyed, these Islamists will never stop until their stated goal is achieved.

Sadly, these very same Americans cast their eyes toward Washington and see ethically and morally challenged politicians from both sides of the aisle who put their needs or the needs of their party, before the national security interests of the United States. In the guise of our nation’s capital, they see a opaque cesspool of hedonism that has managed to attract the weak of character into its epicenter.

But, through all of that, the intuition of most Americans still allows them to acknowledge several truths fighting to escape the cesspool. The first being that in spite their many flaws, (a number of which that have recently filled the front pages of our newspapers) the Republicans will take the fight to the terrorists where they sleep and hide. The second being that logic dictates that Vice Admiral John Scott Redd, and others who warn of an impending terrorist attack, are sadly, most likely correct. The last truth they see -- exactly because of the cesspool that Washington has become -- is that the only hope for this country will be to elect a Republican from outside of its corrupting sphere of influence.

Clearly, Hillary Clinton has come to this same conclusion. That said, the next President of the United States will either be Republican outsider Mitt Romney or Republican outsider Rudy Giuliani.

Once we had a terrorist enemy that could reach all the way to the Pentagon itself it was necessary to totally destroy them at all cost.

The Dems don't wish to spend anything to do that. The Republicans have spent just about as much as can be stuffed down the national defense barrel to destroy the enemy.

It's going to take a long time. It's kind of like the Civil War. For some folks it began in 1861. For others it started about 1848. Yet others note that it had its beginnings in 1619 when the first slave escaped Jamestown and didn't stop running until he got to the Indian settlement near today's Beacon Mall in Fairfax County.

Just be glad you haven't had anything happen to you that turns your adrenalin on 24/7 for the last 6 years.

It's an article from Townhall. Not much credibility there when it comes to talking about Democrats. I would trust Townhall to talk fairly about Democrats as much as I would expect fairness from a Red Sox fan towards the Yankees.

Agreed.

Real fair and balanced.

A "republican" from outside the sphere of influence, but not an uncorrupt Democrat. More partisan rubbish.

Yes, and the people that attacked us are still on the loose.

Oh, any republican will tell you that they are teh source of all knowledge in the world but, whatever you do, don't ask tem where OBL is, that is one of the mythical questions which they are not allowed to give the answer.

Republican outsiders Romney and Guliani? I wish I could smack whomever wrote that. A Republican outsider would be Ron Paul. He's a Republican, Superdude, but I don't ever see you endorsing him. Is it because you couldn't stand having someone in charge that thinks the Constitution actually means something? If they really wanted to protect us, they would LEAVE THE MIDDLE EAST ALONE. But they don't so it won't get any better. And I hope you know, Superdude, that by trying to "protect" us, the powers at be have taken away numerous of our rights.

< Paragraphs about the US Civil War omitted >

.

Fact: We now have an enemy even more capable of reaching "all the way to the Pentagon" than in 9/11. The Bush policy, empowered by many of the Dems now running, of invading Afghanistan and Iraq had inspired Muslim youths all over the world to support Al Quaida and terrorism.

Fact: The Repubs have been willing "to spend anything", as much as could be stuffed into the pockets of their contractor-friends by borrowing the money from Communist China, S. Korea and Japan.

The Democrats who have shown the best judgment with regard to the terrorist threat are those who tried, in vain, to keep us from invading Iraq: Barack Obama, Dennis Kucinich, Carl Levin, Ted Kennedy, Bob Graham and others. Even the Republican, Colin Powell, tried to persuade the President not do invade: "Break it and you own it", he warned.

Unfortunately, Americans have become militarized in their thinking, a result of the Cold War when large armies faced each other. This is a different world, and the answer is not invasion and occupation. It is diplomacy an the use of the police agencies of the world to capture terrorists.

The Democrats can defeat the Republicans on the terrorist-threat issue, even if the worst comes to pass. How? By pointing to the failure of the use of military forces since 9/11, in both Afghanistan and Iraq. By emphasizing the success we and the British have had in apprehending terrorists through care police work and the cooperation of international police forces.

The way to defeat terrorism is through the rule of law and the use of law, throughout the world, not by killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians as well as our own young people, not by driving the nation into long-term debt by going to war and lowering taxes on corporations and the wealthy. That is the Republican way to self-destruction.

I don't support libertarians. Ron Paul is against almost everything I stand for. I will never support a President who wants to make the rest of the world think that we are weak.
