The entire republican national convention theme is built around taking one of the presidents statements out of context.

Intellectually bankrupt.

I understand that they're the opposition party, but shouldn't they at least be opposed to something that actually happened.

...and they're going to try and make an issue out of the deficit. Where the hell were they between 2001 and 2009?

I know, I know - running up the deficit.

They've got nothing. Rats, ships... Like that.
