Poll Finds McCain Best Commander-in-Chief

 

Tuesday, April 8, 2008

 

Americans say Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the presumed Republican

presidential nominee, would be a better commander-in-chief than the

Democratic candidates: Sens. Hillary Clinton (N.Y.) or Barack Obama (Ill.),

according to a new poll.

 

The poll by the Everett Group found that 51 percent of Americans think

McCain would be a better commander-in-chief than Clinton, at 32 percent.

When asked about Obama and McCain, the survey found that 53 percent favored

McCain while 35 percent viewed Obama as a better commander-in-chief.

 

"A commander-in-chief has to keep America strong at home and around the

world, but John McCain seems intent on proving he's the wrong person for the

job," said Karen Finney, communications director for the Democratic National

Committee.

 

"In the coming months, the American people will get to know the real John

McCain, the 3rd Bush-termer who has not put forward a plan on Iraq other

than to say he's willing to keep troops there for 100 years, the McCain that

time and time again has gotten the facts on the ground wrong, the McCain who

can't say how he would continue to pay for the war or how he would restore

balance to America's military and national guard forces," she told Cybercast

News Service.

 

Bernard Finel, a senior fellow with the liberal-leaning American Security

Project, said that while the results are not surprising because polls have

shown McCain consistently strong on the war on terror, "he hasn't really

been challenged by anyone on national security at this juncture."

 

"I think those numbers will drop off once he gets a direct head-to-head

challenge from one of the Democratic candidates," Finel said.

 

Finel added that it's "hard to disentangle it from other issues."

 

"Even though people say they trust him more on national security or on

terrorism issues, the same polls will show people are favoring Obama or

Clinton against him in national polls," he told Cybercast News Service.

 

Finel noted that the majority of Americans see the economy as the biggest

issue in this next election.

 

"While voters have some broad sense of Senator McCain's personal history,

they readily acknowledge that they know little about his positions and

record on the issues they care about the most-especially the economy and

health care," Finney wrote in a memo.

 

"When voters hear what Senator McCain has said and done on those issues,

they see someone who has a backward looking approach and who is badly out of

touch with the realities average people face in their lives today," Finney

added.

 

"No one can be totally prepared for the presidency," Bob Maginnis, a Defense

Department analyst, wrote in an op-ed in Human Events.

 

"Arguably the president's most important role is that of commander-in-chief

and Sen. John McCain has demonstrated a treasure chest full of

characteristics, experiences and well-considered proposals that suit the

position and time," he said.

 

Maginnis also refuted the DNC's claims that McCain would continue the Bush

administration's policies. "McCain promises a number of significant

changes," he said.

 

"He will not limit the counterterrorism efforts to stateless groups

operating in safe havens," said Maginnis. "He points out that Iran, the

'world's chief state sponsor of terrorism,' continues its quest for nuclear

weapons. He fears an Iran protected by a nuclear arsenal would be even more

willing and able to sponsor terrorist attacks."

ADOLF HITLER

SCHWERIN, GUSTLOFF'S FUNERAL

SPEECH OF FEBRUARY 12, 1936

 

.. . . BEHIND every murder stood the same power which is responsible

for this murder; behind these harmless insignificant fellow-countrymen

who were instigated and incited to crime stands the hate-filled power

of our Jewish foe, a foe to whom we had done no harm, but who none the

less sought to subjugate our German people and make of it its slave -

the foe who is responsible for all the misfortune that fell upon us in

1918, for all the misfortune which plagued Germany in the years that

followed. Those members of the Party and honorable comrades of ours

all fell, and the same fate was planned for others: many hundreds

survived as cripples or severely wounded, blinded or lamed; more than

40,000 others were injured. And among them were so many loyal folk

whom we all knew and who were near and dear to us, of whom we were

sure that they could never do any harm to anyone, that they had never

done any harm to anyone, whose only crime was that they devoted

themselves to the cause of Germany.

 

In the ranks of those whose lives were thus sacrificed there stood

also Horst Wessel, the singer who gave to the Movement its song, never

dreaming that he would join those spirits who march and have marched

with us.

 

And now on foreign soil National Socialism has gained its first

conscious martyr - a man who did nothing save to enter the lists for

Germany which is not only his sacred right but his duty in this world:

a man who did nothing save remember his homeland and pledge himself to

her in loyalty. He, too, was murdered, just like so many others. Even

at the time when on January 30 three years ago we had come into power,

precisely the same things happened in Germany, at Frankfort on the

Oder, at K
