STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) — President Bush, on a campaign swing in the West, is arguing the Democratic Party is weak-kneed on national security and shouldn’t be trusted to hold the reins of Congress.
“If you listen closely to some of the leaders of the Democratic Party, it sounds like — it sounds like — they think the best way to protect the American people is, wait until we’re attacked again,” Bush said Monday at a $360,000 fundraiser in Reno, for state Secretary of State Dean Heller’s congressional campaign.
Bush delivered the administration’s oft-repeated claims about the Democrats as it struggles with persistent questions about a recent intelligence report that suggests the Iraq war has helped recruit more terrorists, and a new book, State of Denial, by journalist Bob Woodward that contends Bush misled the country about the war.
In the latest development, a State Department official confirmed that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice did receive a CIA briefing about terror threats just about two months before the Sept. 11 attacks. Rice has said repeatedly she could not specifically recall the meeting.
Seriously, why in the world would anyone trust any Republican now, after committing murder on the Bill of Rights (1), and then dancing on its grave (2), and if that was not enough, pissing on the headstone (3) while they are at it? Then we can add Rep. Foley and PedophileGate(4) to the mix.
So the Liar in Chief says we should not trust Democrats. They are weak on terror. I suppose that’s true. They aren’t out there trying to terrorize the American people on a daily basis. They aren’t using “The War On Terror”(©) to win the elections. They are not going to war to prove their penises are larger than Saddam’s or Ahmadinejad’s.
Any thinking person now knows not to trust Republicans. We shouldn’t trust Democrats? Where does that leave us? Looking for the lesser of two evils I suppose.
For myself, I will choose Democrats. At least with them, I won’t be trying to bring about the End Times.
(1) October 24, 2001, the day the Bill of Rights died.
(2) The “lock ’em up and pound ’em ’til they talk” bill.
(3) No Attorney Fees for Defending the 1st Amendment
(4) Apparently, there is actually a more specific term than pedophilia for this. Ephebophilia “has been defined as a sexual preference in which an adult is primarily or exclusively sexually attracted to postpubescent adolescents.” Who knew?
