"to protect the lives of the american people".

where the hell does it say that? defend the nation? sure. defend the constitution? absolutely. But "protect the lives of every man woman and child? really?....

"protect our lives" from what? everything? you mean like from being fat, not wearing seatbelts, and smoking?

from toxic pollution and dangerous products?

No wonder the "real" cons are suspicious of McCain, he wants government to protect every single person from everything.
