Republicans who might be reading this - you know why you're pissed about this bin Laden stuff...

[LynneSin]

because your guy Bush was a big failure at finding him. Of course Bush gave up ages ago and instead decided to start an unnecessary war in a country whose leader had absolutely NOTHING to do with 9/11.

Then you spent all of 2008 election cycle claiming Obama didn't have the experience to make the type of decisions to find and bring bin Laden to justice.

In a Nutshell, the only thing you can 'brag' about is that 9/11 happened on your watch and YOUR pResident in Chief wasted billions of dollars and didn't solve one damn thing.

And it burns you to think that Obama did it halfway thru his first term in office.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

1. AND they don't like one of Romney's more brazen flipflops shoved in their faces.

2. "YOUR pResident in Chief wasted billions of dollars"

FIFY.

[ProSense]

3. Correction

"In a Nutshell, the only thing you can 'brag' about is that 9/11 happened on your watch and YOUR pResident in Chief wasted millions of dollars and didn't solve one damn thing."

Should be more than "a trillion dollars."

Other than that, spot on!

4. Actually,

I think you're over-thinking it. I don't think it has anything to do with what bush didn't do or what the teapartygop did or didn't do or what the teapartygop has or hasn't said said ... that level of thinking is beyond the 30 second attention span of its base.

The teapartygop is pissed is because this is a feather in this president's cap that they cannot deny. This is the only play in the teapartygop playbook ... outrage at everything Democratic or Democratic done.

[AllyCat]

16. That's true. 30 seconds is about all they have before American Idol comes on and they put

the footrest up on the La-Z-Boy a little more while popping open another cold one.

[HillWilliam]

30. Hey, it's easier than, y'know

thinking 'n' stuff.

[Tarheel_Dem]

5. YES!!!!

[bongbong]

6. I disagree!

It wasn't millions wasted, it was trillions.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

17. Those trillions ended up in Bush's corporate buddies accounts,

it's called looting the taxpayers.
It's called stealing and lying.
It's called stealing our future.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

19. Oh I forgot, it's called murder and they're called bastards.

[Bake]

7. And I, for one, hope they CHOKE ON IT.

How does that taste, Rethugs? All that bile. Choke on it.

Bake

[madokie]

8. Thats pretty much it

rubs them the wrong way for sure as it should. Right now I'd be ashamed if I ever was a republicon

[bluestate10]

9. Modern republicans have hate as their single core value.

The majority aren't racists clowns. But all republicans have hate as their compeling reason for being a republican and that hate blinds them to all else. They hate something, like reproductive choice, early childhood education, union rights, people that need public assistance, people not from their social class, ect. That singular hate drives them vote against their OWN broader best self interests. I sometimes look at people that I earn more than twice as much as and have infinitely more retirement funds than singing the virtues of voting republican. I think, what damned fools are those people!!

[RagAss]

31. I strongly disagree...they're all racists.

[PearliePoo2]

11. Dimson didn't want Osama dead.....

If he did, he could have nailed him at Tora Bora, but instead he called the troops off.
Iraq was the real prize all along (where there was real money to be made).
Osama alive, was way more useful to the Rethugs as the elusive, bad Boogey-Man...keeping that FEAR card going as a blank check for an occupation.

[JBoy]

14. That's exactly it.

Bush's fear-based administration depended on Osama as an ever-present boogy-man.

[TahitiNut]

21. Yup. If they didn't have a bin Laden, they would've invented him.

Actually, they DID invent him.

[bulloney]

22. Bush didn't want OBL dead because the Bushes and bin Ladens are business partners.

They were both with the Carlyle Group on 9/11, holding their annual executive meeting at the Ritz Carlton in DC as the 9-11 attacks were taking place.

[mac56]

12. Hell, McCain was bragging in early '08 that he had a secret plan to get bin Laden.

Said he didn't want to share it because he didn't want to telegraph his punches.

If that wasn't exploiting bin Laden for political gain, I don't know what is.

[Crunchy Frog]

33. His "secret plan to get bin Laden" was to lose the election to someone competent.

His execution of the plan was flawless.

[mac56]

34. rofl

Awesome.

[Uncle Joe]

13. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, LynneSin.

[rufus dog]

15. Chuck Todd actually made a good point (May 1, 2012!)

His comment was that it ruins "he is not one of us" (American) because he went out and killed our Public Enemy number 1.

[malaise]

18. That freaking simple

and they know it.
Meanwhile M$Greedia is giving them airplay

[GeorgeGist]

20. They voted for a loser.

Even Jimmy Carter knows it.

[LynneSin]

24. all the 2012 candidates for GOP President were losers

Anyone with any substance in the GOP knew that it was best to wait until 2016

[Arugula Latte]

23. Yep! Your little bandy-legged tough guy cowboy who strutted around like a puffed-out rooster

just didn't get the job done. He didn't care to. He was only concerned with getting lucrative contracts to his war profiteer buddies.

[SunSeeker]

25. LOL! "Bandy-legged puffed-out rooster"--Great description of Bush (and Perry!)!

[Arugula Latte]

35. Thanks ...

Must admit I stole the "puffed-out rooster" line from a DUer who wrote it about 9 years ago ... Forget who that was ... But it's always seemed the perfect animal simile for Bush.

[SunsetDreams]

26. DUZY!

I nearly ruined my screen on that one!

[hay rick]

27. Republicans: did nothing about bin Laden and not "man enough" to admit they failed.

And what's up with Fox shifting from Osama to Usama? I know that was the original CIA/FBI version of his name, but why now? Perhaps we're supposed to distinguish between Osama, who was the evildoer that GWB nobly set out to avenge while Usama is the porn-watching nobody that the Seals disposed of and Obama took all the credit for...? I really can't think of any reason for the change except for a re-branding effort.

[stupidicus]

28. indeed, their endless search for vindication and validation

for wholly suporting the Bush reign of error and terror by voting for the unindicted war criminal twice, explains much of their conduct and trhetoric choices on these matter in their entirety.

The massive amount of shame they live daily in denial of all that really represents, also explains in no small part the chronic dishonesty and hypocrisy to be found from top to bottom in their rank ranks.

[freshwest]

29. KISS this, GOP!

You can't leave us alone, 'cuz you're sooo lonely.
