Remember (2008) when the GOP thought the WAR ON TERROR was the ONLY thing that mattered?

And yes this was in the midst of the epic Bush financial meltdown, still, the most important thing was the "War On Terror." "The stakes are high!" etc.

Have you noticed they don't talk about that anymore?

Do we assume that it was all a hoax or give them the benefit of the doubt that it was the Great Challenge Of Our Time, and Obama has won it?

and I was saying that in 2007 when it was pretty clear they could not keep a D from winning in 08.

All this accepted spewing of the "liberal media" but from when these idiots let 9-11 happen until they could nudge Bush over the finish line in 2004, EVERYTHING was framed around national security.

The deficit they now SCREAM about, when HE was creating it, does not matter, "BUSH IS KEEPING US SAFE."

How many times have you heard someone say YOU DON"T QUESTION THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF WHILE TROOPS ARE IN THE FIELD flag waving crape now that there is a D in office, someone who actually got OBL, someone who has been the most effective president in our lives in border security as well as being a complete machine on actually taking Al Queda down?

NONE.
