Republicans are the biggest bunch of hypocrites to ever walk this earth...

Not only do they act like 9/11 never happened under their watch, but if it had happened under a Democratic President, we would never have heard the end of it. "Too incompetent to defend this country!", they would shriek.

And if George W Bush or a Republican had captured or killed Osama Bin Laden, they would be ready to put him on Mount Rushmore. Because FOX News would tell them how he was so deserving. And they would eat it up. I do not exaggerate.

1. They get away with it because Democrats do not repeat the following over and over

ReTHUGs did not keep you safe. 9/11 happened under their watch.

2. The media lets them get away with it.

Uninformed lazy voters do not spend any time learning the facts.

Simple as that.

5. Yep, that pretty well sums it all up! Uninformed lazy voters! n/t

3. To listen to them, 9/11 DID happen under a Democratic president: Bill Clinton...

I'm sure you recall all the RW gong-ringing to lay it at Clinton's feet, ignoring their earlier sneers at Clinton's"obsessing" over bin Laden, and distracting from Bush's near-dismissal of terrorism until they were forced to notice it in the hardest way.

6. And control of the message, re-framing, and control of the media trump all else. nt

7. I read a quote by Mark Twain.

“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

It's true because stupid people tend to be louder. And louder people are always heard no matter how outrageous and ridiculous their claims are. And many of the so-called "conservatives" I grew up around fit this description.

that when gas prices are high, Obama is responsible but when they are lower, someone else is responsible?
