Electability???

My point exactly! Republicans, for all their faults, tend to vote for the person they believe is best suited to the job that needs to be done. In fact, that is what most sane and reasonable people would do.

In watching the "Lunt Forum" after the Democratic debate on Thursdy evening, the Democrat voters in the room were asked why they would vote for one candidate or the other. Their general response was "electability."

It really makes one wonder how so many voters could be so blinded by partisan ignorance! Instead of wanting to vote for the best Democratic candidate suited to lead, and protect America, they feel it is more important to vote for the person who is most likely to beat the Republican candidate. So what if their candidate might be an inexperienced fool. Perhaps even downright dangerous and incompetent. As long as the candidate can beat the Republicans, that's all that counts!

How utterly stupid.

The way I see it, each and every American citizen of voting age should vote for the person who has the best leadership ability, has a good grasp of the problems at hand, and has solid, sound solutions to offer. And we should vote for that person regardless of whether he/she is Republican, Democrat, or Independent. Sure, belonging to a party is fine. But regardless of party, we are supposed to be electing the best leader available.

It does not matter one iota if he or she smiles better, orates better, dresses best, or can eat a taco without getting salsa on their shirt. And it does not matter what party they are affiliated with. All that matters - and all that should be seriously considered in the voting booth - is who is best qualified to do the job that faces America over the next four years.

Sometimes that may be a Republican. Sometimes it may be a Democrat. Right now, at this point in our history, we need a leader who understands the threats our nation is facing. Heaven forbid if Al Gore had been president on 9/11!

It does no good whatever to provide health care or jobs if we are dead, dying, or fighting for our very survival!

I would like to see a better health care system. And a better education system. But even more important, I would like our nation to get the murderous threat of terrorism behind us, first. Unless we do that, it may be a waste of time to do anything else. Dead people do not need doctors or schools.

Make no mistake about it - Islam has one objective (even the so-called "moderate Muslims"), and that is to rule the world. It says so in their Koran. Their prophet has told them to have as many children as possible, to overwhelm all others. He told them to go forth to other lands, and infiltrate every nation. He told them to use force, and murder, if necessary.

Look around, folks. That is exactly what is happening. They are spreading out in every nation. They are propagating like rabbits. Just look at that one Muslim woman in India who was in the news this week. At 120 years old, she has 11 children, 120 grandchildren, 250 great-grand children and 20 great-great grandchildren. For those who have basic math skills, that one Muslim woman is responsible for bringing forth 401 new Muslims.

And the "soldiers" among them - the jihadists - are killing anyone who stands against them. It has nothing to do with detente. And all the "nice" talk in the world will not deter them. Their objective is clear, and nothing anyone does will make them waiver from it. Total world domination, at whatever cost. And if liberals on the left want to hide their heads in the sand, or refuse to acknowledge that the threat is real, and cannot be stopped by peaceful means, then they deserve everything they get.

But my family deserves better! So I will vote for the candidate that will take the strong stand. Because weakness will only get us dead.

Clinton has said she wants to make nice with the enemy, and even protect them (she refused to vote for extending FISA, for example). And Obama is even worse - he wants to welcome them with a smile and open arms.

We would be safer if we elected Britney Spears!
