One of them frequently says (about Iraq) "I'll tell you what we ought to do, and that's flatten the whole place. Your guys won't do that."
Frankly, I don't want to argue with him. I won't change his mind, and he won't change mine. So I don't. It's not worth the friction it would cause in the social scene. I change the subject. He can't really think that his guys (or gals) would. He's just been a Democrat all his life. In his head, Democrat=Good, Republican=Bad.
He's shocked that I could possibly vote for Talent over McCaskill. Shocked and disgusted.
And yet ...
What happens if the Democrats win control of Congress?
- Start impeachment proceedings against Bush
- Block any efforts by Bush to fight this war even as hard as he has been fighting it
- Try to force the U.S. to pull out of Iraq
- due to the world-wide spectacle alone, would be bad for national security. It also validates the Islamist belief that the U.S. has no stomach for a fight.
- help the Islamists get a better foothold
- really, really validates the Islamist belief that America, when faced with a determined fight, will always quit
Bad. Bad. And Bad.
Plus, I'm partial to all 10 of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights, #2 included.
I don't need any more reasons to vote for Talent.
