Republican presidential candidates vowed on Monday to take a tougher approach toward Islamic State militants, with Jeb Bush saying a larger Middle East troop presence is needed and Donald Trump saying he would consider closing some mosques in the United States.

The impact of Friday's attacks in Paris on the U.S. campaign for the November 2016 presidential election has been swift and powerful, with national security suddenly thrust back to the top of voter concerns.

In a Reuters-Ipsos poll of 1,483 U.S. adults conducted after the attacks, 63 percent said a Paris-style assault could happen near them, and 60 percent said more should be done to counter Islamic State.

But a strong majority reflected America's war weariness after 14 years of conflict since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The poll found 76 percent opposed sending regular ground troops to the region.

2. Do you not find it odd just how familiar Jeb, Donald and rest of the clowns are with Sharia Law?

Since they have no formal training in it. Not one of them is a student of either Islam or middle eastern culture and history. They certainly have alarming gaps of knowledge for people who claim to be ready to lead the world, don't you think?

I guess you only need to be sure who to bomb if you're gonna sit in the Oval Office, right?

3. These twits only

Parrot what their Political Consultants tell them to say. It is all about Roger Ailes,Ruppert Murdoch and Frank Luntz and the mass media liar Karl Rove.

4. Trump wants to close mosques in the US?

He does know our constitution has an amendment in it that guarantees freedom of religion, and it doesn't say anything like "unless you're a Muslim and then you can go get screwed."

Problem is, anyone stupid enough to vote for Donald Trump thinks the Constitution gives every American the freedom to be just like them.
