R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

So Russia has invaded the Pro Western country of Georgia. Once part of the Soviet Union, Georgia has supported the U.S. with troops in Iraq and has supported U.S. foreign policy. Russian tanks are now rolling though Georgia just like the Soviet tanks that rolled into Hungary in 1956 – to crush freedom and democracy of brave people.
So if you were Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, which candidate for the U.S. Presidency would you respect? A junior liberal Senator with little or no experience in foreign policy, or a seasoned conservative Senator who not only never broke under communist torture, but realizes what it means to place military people in harm’s way because he’s been there – done that.
Remember that the Communist tested the last junior Senator that was elected President in 1962. While President Kennedy had 13 days to determine the correct response to the Soviet threat in Cuba, our next President will only have 13 seconds in today’s technological warfare environment.
