Selling Fear

.

Republicans show us again why they just cannot be trusted.

In a move that would have been hard to imagine in previous years, the GOP has launched multiple fundraising efforts in the wake of the failed attack on Flight 253, seeking to turn the Christmas Day event into not just a political attack on the Obama administration, but also a boost for their year-end fundraising.

Here’s Pete Hoekstra’s fundraising letter…

“My promise to you, as your governor, my first duty and most solemn responsibility is to keep Michigan safe! … If you agree that we need a Governor who will stand up the Obama/Pelosi efforts to weaken our security please make a most generous contribution of $25, $50, $100 or even $250 to my campaign.”

And that folks, is your Republican Party where raising money by selling fear is always deemed a noble act.

Why Do Republicans Hate America?

.

These guys believe in nothing – nothing – but regaining power.

Some of the same Republican lawmakers currently criticizing the President for softness on terrorism voted back in July 2007 against legislation that, among other reforms, provided $250 million for airport screening and explosive detection equipment.

And who exactly are the two-faced dicks?

Sens. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), Tom Coburn (R-Okl.) Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), James Inhofe (R-Okl.) and Jon Kyl (R-Ari.).

That’s the same Jim DeMint who said this week that America is…

“…at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe.”

That’s the same Lindsey Graham who believes the country will be less safe with the transfer of Gitmo detainees to American soil.

Politics Before Country should be the new Republican motto.
