Moran's Utter Nonsense

Terry Moran, one of the Obama flacks, nominally employed by ABC News, tried to put the onus on Republicans on Good Morning America today, trying to gain cheap political points from the attempted Christmas terrorist outrage. Moran contended the GOP is committing an original sin by politicizing a national security issue. What a convenient memory this so-called journalist has as I recall Democrats making similar assertions about the last President George Bush in his conduct of the war on terror. Democrat Senator Harry Reid declared "the war was lost" and Massachusetts Democrat Senator Kerry claimed our forces were "terrorizing women and children in the dark of night". Republicans have not opened a breech on something formerly sacred; the Democrats started to gin up defense of the homeland as a campaign issue within days of September 11, 2001. For Terry Moran to claim with pretentious sanctimony that somehow the GOP is perverting the notion that politics end at the water's edge is preposterous. That quaint and jejune concept had been erased by Democrats by the middle of October 2001. The Republicans have faced unwarranted venom from the Michael Moores, the James Carvilles, the Huffington posers, and the Daily Kosers of the world on an almost daily basis ever since without being able to tell where the Democrats end and the dinosaur media hacks begin. By pointing out the odious security failures of the Obama administration, the GOP does not seek to lure votes but to save innocent American lives.
