More Dem Double-Speak
Whenever President Bush reiterates the threat of terror it is met with derision from the left, including high profile politicians. They accuse him of “fear mongering” to garner support for the Republican party. If any of you have had the (pleasure?) recently to engage libs on these boards regarding this matter, they unanimously dismiss the notion that we are at risk of further attacks from jihadists.
So now that the Bush administration is proposing cuts in funding anti-terror grants, who is out front protesting the loudest? Why, none other than Schmuck Schumer and Hellary Klingon.
In a letter to President Bush Saturday, Hillary Rodham Clinton said that in light of the terrorist threats facing the nation, “it is unimaginable to hear that you would cut funding for our nation’s law enforcement, firefighters, and other first responders by more than half.”
So when President Bush wants to reduce money to New York, Senator Klingon wails that we will be subject to attack by terrorists. Ah, but what about when the subject is a new AG? She sings a much different tune:
“We are at war,” he added, “and we cannot win this war by wishing it away or pretending it does not exist.”
Mr. Bush’s remarks appeared to do little to soften criticism by Democrats of his policies or his attorney general nominee. The front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, Senator Clinton, said Americans are “tired” of Mr. Bush’s rhetoric, and she assailed him for comparing the threat from current enemies such as Osama bin Laden to the specter of Nazism and Soviet communism.
Sorry folks, you can’t have it both ways.
