Poll question: A national security poll that truly EXEMPLIFIES Democratic and GOP efforts
Democratic senator John Kerry launched investigations in the 80s and 90s that exposed IranContra and tracked the funding of global terror networks in BCCI.

The Republicans' premiere investigative work in the 90s led to the discovery that Bill Clinton had sex with a woman who was NOT his wife.

The media made their choice and decided that Bill Clinton's sex life was the more important story as eviidenced by the allocation of airtime and their reliance on the story even today. The BCCI terror bank that serviced the likes of Bin Laden has been long forgotten.

Now it's your turn to give the media YOUR answer.

Which investigation was more important to the safety of American citizens and the security of our nation?

1. Kick for MEDIA lurkers who REFUSE to recognize the REAL differences in
the two parties and their actual approach to governance.

3. Not subtle at all - it's the REAL answer to the BS spouted by Specter
Specter: Reid's Not A "Deep Thinker"
And other trivia, from an American Spectator interview with an "unvarnished" Arlen Specter.

>>>>
On various Democrats: Minority Leader Reid, in various comments discussed at the dinner, "is not a deep thinker, to put it gently." Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry "didn't have any substance or any backbone." In 20 years, Kerry has "a remarkably vacuous record." Kerry at the podium is dullsville: "He's like a high school orator."

And former HHS Secretary Donna Shalala "was a colossal failure... a good bluffer, but she was a lousy administrator." Under her watch, scientists sometimes couldn't even keep deadly strains of diseases "under lock and key."

6. They helped terrorists and BLOCKED investigations into terror networks
They could have helped prevent 9-11 by telling the truth instead of lying and shredding documents - they ended up PROTECTING the terror networks and their funding.

7. They ARE terrorists
When I was in Southern Nicaragua, I met American mercenaries working for them.

They were killers and bragged about it.

They burned down villages and bragged about it.

They raped little girls and bragged about it.

They were shipping in cocaine into the USA and bragged about it.

I haven't been there in a decade, but as far I know they are still doing it.

8. And that is EXACTLY why the books on BushInc need to be opened
ONCE AND FOR ALL. Democracy in this country will not survive - the citizens need REAL information.

10. Well, SOMEONE thinks Clinton's girlfriend helped terrorists more than BCCI
and Poppy Bush's coverup for the terrorists' financiers.
