Republican spin on reality

Cheney uses Middle East disaster as campaign issue for Republicans by John in DC - 7/22/2006 09:06:00 AM

I swear, there is no carnage, no mayhem, no disaster that the Republicans won't try to turn around to their advantage. They ignore the Middle East, war erupts, they do nothing about it, and now Cheney is out there saying that this shows everyone should vote Republican. Uh huh.So, why not help Cheney out. What other great issues should the Republicans run on this fall?- Losing New Orleans- Ignoring North Korea- Botching Iraq- Doing nothing about high gas prices- Trying to privatize social security- Screwing Alzheimers and Parkinsons patients by vetoing stem cell research- Polluting the environment- Breaking the budgetBut of all of these, I think New Orleans is my favorite. George Bush personally watched New Orleans go up in flames, or down in floods, while he fiddled away on his vacation for days after the storm hit. Well, in all fairness, Bush didn't "watch" anything - he wasn't fully aware of how bad things were in New Orleans until five days AFTER the storm hit (not kidding, this was in Newsweek).
