As for some of the comments here…

My country is at war. I have a personal stake in winning this war as my son has been one of those fighting it. The enemies of my country are Al Qaeda, Iran, Iran’s Jihadist puppets, and the Taliban.

Nonfactor’s (and his party’s) country is at war, too. His enemy is George W. Bush and his (and his party’s) allies are Al Qaeda, Iran, Iran’s Jihadist puppets, and the Taliban.

I don’t question his or his party’s patriotism becuase it is a forgone conclusion that they are not only UNPATRIOTIC but are aiding and abetting the enemy for partisan political advantage. The behavior of John Edwards is especially telling.

The PUBLIC behavior of the Democratic Party’s candidates for president are proof that the Democratic Party supports our enemies.

It isn’t an adhominem attack when it is the truth.

George, you have hit the nail squarely on the head. The “main stream” democraps have turned coat. Their success now depends on our Great Country’s defeat. I know it’s hard to believe for some old time democrats but its the truth. The leaders of the democrat party are cowards and turn coats.

The point still stands that the “war on terror” question in the first debate was a stupid one able to be interpreted numerous different ways by the people answering

The last refuge of the spineless tool who realized too late he said something tellingly stupid…uh oh..der question didn’t mean what I thought it would..der. No, there is no standing point that it was a stupid question nor that it could be interpreted different ways. It was quite simple: do you think the war on terror exists? Raise monkey paw for yes, keep paw in special place for no. The only thing stupid on that stage were the candidates and just about everything that came out of their mouths. But, I’m sure some might enjoy reading your mental excretions; do tell some of the other possible interpretations of the question..I’ll start:

Do you think the war on terror exists =

1. Is your underwear too tight?
2. Are you a pathetic aging hipster with personal hygiene issues that would knock over a horse?
3. Do you think the Che Guavara model of dealing with resistence (shooting people)to your ideology will work in America?
4. Do you think Howard Dean froths at the mouth when not on camera?

The Religion of Peace.

Oh, but we’re off topic and this has turned into one big ad hominem hissy fit.

Nonfactor starts hissing, then throws a fit for being ‘attacked’ ad hominem.

Back when we discussed the first debate on HotAir I explained why that “raise your hands” question about the “War on Terror” was a bad one. To see people on the right still use that question for spin is kind of sad.

Nonfactor on June 18, 2007 at 5:28 PM

Try this one. Raising their hands made them all look like second graders at the school Geography Bee.

I couldn’t believe they were that stupid, but after reflecting on it, the Left and the Democrats are larded with elementary teachers so evidently they didn’t see anything childish about it.
And alas, juvenile is NOT the impression one wants to project to the American Public when the subject is War on Terror.

Just wait till the soccer moms as a unit suddenly figure out the Dems are completely incapable of protecting their little darlings.

It is fortunate that Edwards the “Silky Pony” doesn’t stand a chance of becoming president.

Priceless.

commenters who are full of themselves!

Speaking from experience?

Straw men are fun!

Nonfactor on June 18, 2007 at 5:36 PM

So are commenters who are full of themselves!

Bryan on June 18, 2007 at 5:34 PM

I never claimed it to be the last word. Straw men are fun!

Nonfactor on June 18, 2007 at 5:28 PM

Because if some anonymous commenter’s word doesn’t suffice for the last word, what does in this crazy, mixed-up world?

And speaking of radical islam, here is another victory in Raleigh, N.C.
