An army of one
Cheney on the Middle East: Proof that we've got to "stay the course" and keep Republicans in charge.
Tim Grieve [2006-07-24]

  • The "Security" Thing

    The GOP's use of security as an issue of strength is soooo last year. Democrats need to grab that security issue by the neck and shake it to pieces in front of the public. Security? How secure was New Orleans in the runup to and after Hurricane Katrina? How secure is Iraq now compared to its status before the GOP took power? How secure is the Middle East under the GOP? And how secure are America's most populous cities since several were attacked in 2001, but had their security funding slashed in 2006?

    Secure?

    Since when?

    We were a hell of a lot more secure in 2000 than we are now. Go back to START. Reelect the people who gave America nearly a decade of peace and prosperity. Get rid of the people who have made a mishmosh of everything from terror warnings to hurricane warnings to warnings from America's top generals.

    Let's clear the slate and start over again. Reelect competence in 2006.
