Blame the Democrats!

The last Republican refuge

"We have a story to tell, and the Democrats have -- in my view have -- put this thing forward to try to block us from telling the story. They're trying to put us on defense."
Dennis Hastert to Rush Limbaugh, regarding the Foley disclosures
What Goeth Before the Fall
[What's next!? Blaming the Democrats for their purient interest in "naughty emails" as a symptom of the party's "moral decay"?]

"One hundred and seventy-seven of the opposition party said, 'You know, we don't think we ought to be listening to the conversations of terrorists."
King George the Accuser
'Comma' Now Part of Iraq Debate
[I guess the next charge will be that Bill Clinton invited Osama to tea at the White House. Do these people have no shame?]

"If the other bunch gets elected, they're going to raise your taxes."
King George the Spender
Bush: Democrats Can't Be Trusted to Fight War on Terror
[Perhaps taxes will need to be raised when the rest of the world stops acting like a credit card for the US. Interest has become the fastest-growing component of federal spending, and in 2005 the government paid about $77 billion in interest to foreign creditors. Boy, that is just the way I'd hoped MY tax dollars would be spent!]

"We believe strongly that we must take action to prevent attacks from happening in the first place…. They view the threats we face like law enforcement, and that is, we respond after we're attacked. And it's a fundamental difference."
King George the Prevaricator
Bush Promises Victory in Iraq, Safety for Schools
[Is there a single thread of evidence that any Democrat ever advocated doing nothing until we are attacked? Of course, to Bush facts are relative--they only count if they support what he supports]
