2018 CT Senate race: on War & Peace


Chris Murphy: Executing foreign political figures opens Pandora's box

We do not generally execute high-level political figures of sovereign nations, in part because we know that that opens a Pandora's box it may expose American officials to assassination, but also because we know that, ultimately, that might get more Americans killed as it like the will in this case.

Matthew Corey: ISIS must be eliminated at all costs

Defense is vital to our nation's security and our state's economy. We can't afford to lose Federal contracts. Connecticut's economy depends on preserving the defense contracts. ISIS must be destroyed where ever it festers. We need strong leadership in Washington with a clear mission to destroy this evil. If we elect to do nothing we will witness evil and genocide continue to destroy human life. Radical Islam will influence the youth in the region taking generations to eradicate.
