Democrats Assail GOP Fundraising Effort
Because they have nothing else to offer.
AP reports: “Democrats assailed the Republicans Friday for e-mailing a fundraising appeal mentioning the war on terror hours after British authorities disclosed they had disrupted a plot to blow up aircraft headed to the United States.”
“In the middle of a war on terror, we need to remain focused on furthering Republican ideas more than ever before,” former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani said in a letter that asked for donations to the Republican National Committee.
Indeed.
The RNC blamed a low-level staffer for distributing the fundraising appeal, which the party said had been scheduled for release before news of the plot broke.
“Once the RNC learned of this error we ceased distribution of the e-mail,” said Tracey Schmitt, a party spokeswoman.
Too bad. Rudy’s remarks seem more timely and apropos than ever. In public relations, if unforeseen major events coincide with your client’s message, it’s called a victory. Maybe that’s why Dems are resentful.
Democrats didn’t accept the explanation.
What else is news?
“The defeat of the London plot is a warning that we should redouble our efforts to defeat terrorism. It shouldn’t be used as a political defibrillator by Republicans on electoral life support,” said Phil Singer, a spokesman for the Senate Democrats’ campaign committee.
You mean sorta like this press statement for the DNC?
The day the Britain plot was foiled, Republicans and Democrats accused the other of doing too little to deter the threat of attack.
But we know what party the New York Times subscribes to.
“We must implement the strong recommendations of the independent 9/11 commission to improve airport security screening at checkpoints,” said House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, stressing one of the party’s principal campaign-year promises in its drive to gain control of Congress.
Yeah, sure, Nancy. Just as long as it doesn’t infringe on any far-left, ACLU-litigated liberties, right?
There’s only one party that’s serious about national security and willing to take meaningful steps to be proactive in the war on terrorism.
Just ask Joe Lieberman.

This must be the slowest website on Internet. If you guys want more hits, you have to speed this clunker up. Figure out what the problem is yourselves. I don’t know, maybe you guys just don’t care.

Speed of the website here is fine Mickey Mouse. You must have a slow computer. Must be the free Democratic-Socialism gov. computer they sent you to complain Republicans - about people who get off their ass and work for a living.
