More Malaise?

A new Bush campaign ad addresses the key issue in this election--anti-terrorism. The ad, called "Worldview," is a rapid response to Matt Bai's lengthy pro-Kerry puff-piece in today's New York Times Magazine:
When I asked Kerry what it would take for Americans to feel safe again, he displayed a much less apocalyptic worldview. "We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance," Kerry said. "As a former law-enforcement person, I know we're never going to end prostitution. We're never going to end illegal gambling. But we're going to reduce it, organized crime, to a level where it isn't on the rise. It isn't threatening people's lives every day, and fundamentally, it's something that you continue to fight, but it's not threatening the fabric of your life."
This is insulting and insane--as Captain's Quarters says, "Kerry thinks he can woo the dictators and Islamic terrorists with summits and sanctions, a selfish fantasy that puts our lives at great risk."

Bush understands, and the new ad is another homerun:
First, Kerry said defeating terrorism was really MORE about law enforcement and intelligence than a strong military operation...

More about law enforcement than a strong military?

Now Kerry says... We have to get back to the place where terrorists are a nuisance like gambling and prostitution... we're never going to end them.

Terrorism... a nuisance?

How can Kerry protect us when he doesn't understand the threat?
The Senator's quote confirms he's no John Kennedy; Kerry's channeling another Democrat former President, says Powerline:
John Kerry promises a restoration of the foreign policy of Jimmy Carter -- the looming presence left unmentioned in the Bai article.

We saw a preview of the futility of Carterism in the face Islamism in the Iranian hostage crisis that terminated the Carter presidency. For those who learn from experience, the case for Carterism is even less compelling in 2004 than in it was in 1980.
Months ago, I wrote:
A President Kerry would be as decisive as President Carter. Given current U.N. incompetence, nuclear proliferation and global terrorism, America needs a leader, not Jimmy's second term.

I served under Carter as a military man--and I can tell you that was the most dismal,low moral time in my military service. Carter has never met a dictator he did not like. He is a extreme pacifist and did anything to appease the enemy.

Kerry is the same type of person, he thinks that a Summit, a few talks, maybe a new Porsche for Bin Laden, or a summer home in Massassachuttes that might be the ticket. Kerry and all his left wing buddies could take Bin Laden and his terrorist friends out to PIZZA HUT and have a goats eyes and curry pizza, that would do it I am sure.

They would never bother us again, they would be our friends and the European countries would shower John Kerry and his Communist DNC buddies with all kinds of International awards, maybe Jimmy Carter could arrange for Kerry to have a Nobel Peace Prize--and Bin Laden could award it to Kerry at the United Nations.. That would be great.

Weak ,indecisive, ignorant of the real world, those are all trademarks of a Left Wing leader and the DNC--anybody that thinks we can negotiate with the terrorist or maybe just show up with a search warrant or a subpoena are fools.

JOHN KERRY THE DNC ARE ALL IGNORANT, THEY DON'T LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD--THEY SEE THINGS OUT OF THE EYES OF A DREAMER,THEY REFUSE TO LOOK AT THE WORLD FOR WHAT IT IS. THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS IN OUR WORLD THAT WOULD LOVE TO KILL US ALL.

IT SCARES ME THAT THE LEFT JUST DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THIS--NEVER HAVE NEVER WILL
