Political Quotes

“I think we all know that now more than ever it is critical that our next Commander in Chief is ready to walk into the Oval Office and be ready to lead on day one. Keeping Americans safe is the President's most solemn duty. That is why Americans need a strong and smart national security plan led by a Commander in Chief with experience, the highest respect for our troops, and with a level head. However, the Republican nominee for President has repeatedly proven he lacks the qualities it takes to lead our Nation and our Armed Forces. He has insulted veterans and Gold Star families while claiming he knows more about how to protect this Nation than our own military leadership. He has openly advocated torture, in contradiction to what our generals suggest. When presented with a Purple Heart by a wounded veteran, he responded by saying: ``I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.'' Our military represents the absolute best of our country. In July, when we met the Khans, he ridiculed them. We need a Commander in Chief that commands the respect of the American people. ____________________”
