"He kept us safe!" [View all]

Remember when W was running in '04, and one of the main pillars of his campaign was that "He kept us safe?" We here at DU were mostly disgusted with the claim because, of course, he did NOT keep us safe. He presided over the greatest loss of civilian lives due to a hostile act in our nation's history. But the Right never let the facts stand in the way of a good campaign slogan.

Well, now we have a president who has not only "kept us safe," but has made the greatest strides in responding to 9/11 since...well...9/11.

But will the Right admit that "He has kept us safe?" Of course not. We get crickets. Nada.

Just gotta love the hypocrisy.
