When You Have Nothing Left...

You use fear. Seriously, that's all the Republicans have and once again we see them prostituting the horror 9-11. Do they really believe that if we move these GITMO detainees to a supermax prison we will somehow become less safe? Come on, how many times has Cuba been attacked since they've been residing there? What do they think will happen? An escape? How many of our now resident criminals, that have committed heinous acts, have escaped? Why aren't the Republicans demanding we fear them being imprisoned on U.S. soil?

So what do they produce to attempt to keep us all in fear mode? Well, check out their latest "OMG, we'll all die if GITMO really closes" video. Complete with requisite scary music.




Please, Republicans, find a message that resonates with more than the loony 21%. A 2 party system is healthy for this nation but these people aren't even 1/4 of a party anymore. Partly because they continue to produce crap such as this garbage.

I recently wrote about a similar subject, the hemorrhaging of GOP members. For the life of me, I can't understand why they just don't get that their message is not resonating with people. The hardliners seem to be running the party right now, and they're dropping members like flies.

Exactly, the pandering to the 21% is laughable. The country is changing and they don't want to acknowledge it...they see it, but they don't want to so the blinders are on for now.
