In 2008 the GOP Convention was ALL ABOUT "THE WAR ON TERROR" Do they even mention that anymore?

[K8-EEE]

Remember that we were in the midst of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression but the entire convention was about terra, terra terra!

So are the admitting that the whole thing was trumped up as a scare tactic/distraction? Or do they think that war was won, under President Obama?

8. Oh understood I'm talking about the GOP canned phrases, "The War On Terror" when was the last time

any of them SAID that??

I swear from what I remember in 2008 it was WAR ON TERRA WAR ON TERRA TERRA TERRA TERRA!

GOP hires linguists and pollsters just to make up BS to repeat....and this one is in the can. Prob since OBL got taken out.

3. the guy writing the book about how Bush really was responsible for the raid to take out ObL

4. Obama is the terrorist now.

5. They can't mention The War on Terror.

Obama got bin Laden after 6 years of the bu$h administration doing basically nothing about it, except killing brown people for fun and profit.

6. The GOP now has a pre-9/11 mindset.

7. I watched Condi's speech last night.

She mentioned 9/11, but all I could think about was how she or any other GOPer can talk about Osama bin Laden. They can no longer utter his name, and you know they hate that.

Their war on terror bullshit is lukewarm now anyway; they have no argument that Romney/Ryan would be better than Obama when it comes to the bad guys.

9. I said it a year earlier ...

presuming a D got elected, that shite would come to a GRINDING halt in January of 2009 ...

It did.

10. Now that the President has kicked their ass in that regard...

..it's not a big deal to them anymore. They only cared when their inside pollster and Psych Ops people found that Americans were scarred and frightened by 9/11. Once it stopped being useful, they stopped using it. They never really cared.

[Sheepshank]

11. Obama took care of that.

they had to find something else.
