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.

Repubs love their power not their country. They only love pockets of the ‘real America’ because they can manipulate them and get them to believe the lies they spin. The Repubs have the sickness of selective memory and are suffering from an outbreak of revisionist history.
Did you catch Congressman Massa on The Ed Show last night? He’s pretty brave because he said he’d go on FOX to challenge DeMint & Cheney on their lies. “Go on FOX!” He has served in the military for years & that is something Republicans don’t like. You can’t argue about war with a hero that served and didn’t avoided serving FIVE times, like the Dark One did. We need more like Massa and Grayson. Neither is intimidated easily.

Hey Mario Darth will be very upset that you credited Jim Demint for Darth’s brilliant master piece. :)
You’d think that with the word Re”public”can that they would serve the public interest… hhhhhm for some reason the name seems odd. Don’t you?
