You have done the same from the other side of this discussion.

I've yet to see any factual information provided by the 'Kerry' camp. 
On the other hand, I've provided factual information from Kerry's mouth 
that he changes his bloody position more than I change my underwear.

It is the democrats who are fear mongering.  Trying to scare people into 
voting against Bush rather then vote for someone.  In a recent Majette 
advertisement she states that her opponent wants to charge you 28% tax 
on everything you buy.  She doesn't once mention that this would replace 
your income tax.  Now that is purely an attempt to hide the truth.  That 
should be illegal.  What a shame, she'll garner votes from that lie.

That is not the point.  The point is, the US will not have the UN tell 
it when it may protect itself.  France would not be France if it were 
not for the US.  France's concern was not the safety of the US, but 
their (illegal) investment in Iraq at the time.

Just what he (Laden) wants you to do.  Give into fear.  You would let 
this criminal/coward make you voting decision for you?  You're pathetic.
