Who’s Really Putting Politics Before Security?
By Matt Margolis | December 7, 2004
The Washington Times reports that the disgraced chairman of the DNC has used Pearl Harbor to slam Republicans…
Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe, in a special Pearl Harbor Day statement, said national unity 63 years ago enabled Americans to go forward and defeat the country’s enemies, but the same kind of unity needed now was being undermined by Republican disagreements over provisions of the yet-to-be-voted on intelligence reform bill.
“While we as a nation are united in this fight, there are clearly deep divisions within the Republican Party, divisions that are impeding our fight against terrorism,” he said.
If Terry McAuliffe wants to have a debate over who really has put politics before security, and which party really is behind the bitter division of this country, I’ll tell him right now to bring it on. The country did come together in the aftermath of 9/11, and who then decided to divide the country back up? The Democrats. Which party worked with Republicans on bills like the PATRIOT Act and the No Child Left Behind Act - only to completely turn the tables when the election got closer and opposed those bills.
One criticism in particular about the PATRIOT Act was there was little time to adequately debate the measures of the bill - some have since been selectively singled out by Democrats as a means to blemish the bill and paint is as evil and connect it solely to Bush and Republicans. Now, Terry McAuliffe are saying that it’s okay to rush through debate on the 9/11 Intelligence Reform Bill and just vote on it? For what? So in 2008 they can wash their hands of all the bad things in the bill they don’t want to take credit for and blame it on Republicans?
Is this part of a plan by Democrats to try and capture the White House in 2008? Are they going to do to the 9/11 Intel Reform Bill in 2008 what they did with the PATRIOT Act in 2004? Let it pass with bipartisan support then pick out the things they don’t like about it later and blame it on Republicans?
UPDATE: David Limbaugh has more on this McAuliffe gaffe.
