Issue after issue has been discussed during this election cycle and one thing is really disturbing to me. The issue of national security seems to have slipped everyone's mind. It was only eight years ago that the world as we know it was changed in a very drastic way. Terrorism became all too real for us as Americans. They had made it into our own backyard. The country, back in 2000, rallied around President Bush and our troops and vowed to destroy the very terrorist organizations that were responsible. Fast forward to this years election and you would think that 9-11 never happened. Senator Obama stumbles over every foreign policy question that is asked, so guess what? The media stops asking him those types of questions. Senator McCain stumbles over every economic question that is asked, so guess what? The media creates newer economic questions on a daily basis. The bottom line is so easy to read that is is scary more Americans don't seem to realize it. If terrorists rear their ugly heads in our backyard again, the economy means nothing. Your bank account means nothing. Your mortgage means nothing. Now, don't get me wrong. The economy is very important and drastic steps must be taken to make sure we correct the problem. However, national security is and always will be more impotant. John McCain has been there, my friends. He knows the might of the military and knows what it is like to sacrafice for the country. I pray to God that the American people decide to give him another chance to serve our country. This time as the President of the United States!
