IMPORTANT!! What does "Take off our republican hats and put on our American hat mean?"
I just heard the statement on CNN from Cindy Mccain and the reality of what it means struck!!

Does that mean that all along you only had the Republican party's "hat" on? Kind of explains her husband's choice of Palin!!
Oh so did she admit that is was always party first and country after...until a huricane come along??

And imagine she jumped on Michelle !!

6. What happened to "Country First"?
Was that idea jettisoned with the choice of "Alaska First" secessionist Palin?

7. It means they're normally party first, but the next few days
they have to pretend to be Americans instead of fascists.

8. New talking points
They are Republicans before they are Americans. Pass it around. Unpatriotic.

9. It's quite simple.
Republicans have no interest in helping others. Americans do.

12. McCain: "its time to be Americans and not Republicans" RE: Gustav
Edited on Tue Sep-02-08 07:08 AM by quantass
The original AP story was edited soon after to remove the "Republicans" part of his quote so as to make McCain look better since it implied that being republicans they wouldnt be interested in helping people during crisis. Sad to see the MSM even editing McCains quotes to help him out.
