Am I weak on defense?
Let's say...

1. Bush says: "let's invade Canada"
I say: "No, there's no reason to invade Canada."
Am I weak on defense?

2. Bush says: "Here's a resolution giving me authority to invade Iran, vote for it."
I say: "no, not until you give me a justification for the need to invade."
Am I weak on defense?

3. Bush says: "If we invade China to overthrow the Commies, we have a good chance of succeeding!"
I say: "We really do not have a good chance of conquering China militarily."
Am I weak on defense?

Did I set the party back 40 years by saying that?
Should I shut up?
Should I add qualifiers?
Should I worry about what the Republicans will say?


Strength is doing what is right even though it is unpopular.
Weakness is doing what is wrong, becuase it is popular.

1. I would have to know a lot more about your stances before I could...
make a determination.

2. How the repbulicans will spin your statement...
We deserved 9-11 so lets withdrawal from the Middle Eastand let bygones be bygones and stop trading blood for oil but then keep complaining about high gas prices. or at least something more like that. Why do you hate America and why are you such a defeatest weak pessimistic coward.

3. A bit weak on offense perhaps
but i'd say that's a good thing.

4. No, you are not weak.
Turn the question around.

Are you strong on peace?

You might be. I hope you are.
