US Republican foes pose as tough on terror

1 hour, 59 minutes ago

COLUMBIA, United States (AFP) - Ten Republican presidential hopefuls battled for bragging rights as toughest on the war on terror, in their hawkish second campaign debate on the long road to the White House.


Former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani meanwhile leapt onto the attack against his rivals, after taking a pounding over his equivocal position on abortion rights in their first showdown two weeks ago.

Candidates also savaged rival Democrats over their attempts to bring home troops from
Iraq, and traded charges over who was most conservative on cutting taxes, social issues and immigration.

At one stage in Wednesday's debate, Giuliani flashed with anger, after longshot candidate Congressman Ron Paul (news, bio, voting record) appeared to suggest US foreign policy invited the September 11 attacks in 2001.

1. Rudy oversaw the big security flop in our history

This is the man we want to give a do-over to ????

2. Apparently Ron Paul Broke The Rules...

Against being realistic, and/or honest, during the wanna-be's "debate".

I didn't watch it but I am sure that it was hilarious, albeit unintentionally.

All of these mental midgets posturing to be the stupidest.

The competition had to be brutal...

3. Do they really expect us to believe them

They have had over six years to prove themselves, yet each time something was bad for the tax paying citizens they voted with bush. I don't have any faith in any of them, nothing but a pack of Neocon liars.

4. Fuck this "tough on terror" shit - we need SMART on terror.

Fighting terrorism requires smarts, subtlety, and patience - attributes which terrorists use to survive and operate and which NONE of the current crop of Repuke POTUS candidates (with the possible exception of Ron Paul) possess.

These Repukes are about as subtle as a herd of elephants stomping along a muddy river bank.
As it is, they can't kick a duck in the ass unless they stand on a brick to do it - and even then, they'd miss the mark more than half the time.

Not to mention that they can't govern or legislate - but what do you expect from people who don't really believe in democracy or government?

The worst Democrat among the current crop of candidates is a THOUSAND TIMES better than the best Republican. Remember that.
