The new rebranding effort by the republicans.

From politico:
House Republicans are using images of the Pentagon burning on 9/11 and President Obama's "bow" to the Saudi leader in a video that accuses the president of making America less safe in his first 100 days.

The video is part of a new offensive by Republicans, who are in the midst of a party rebranding effort, to question the Obama administration's national security policies.

"What are Democrats doing to keep us safe," Republicans ask in the video, titled "Day 101," released Thursday morning.

Complete with dreary background music, the video challenges Obama on his decision to close Guantanamo Bay and release memos detailing the Bush administration’s policies on torture

Democratic response
"Republicans are once again resorting to fear tactics because they have no new ideas or constructive policies to offer," said Katie Grant, a spokeswoman for House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.). "The American people have already rejected their politics of fear, and this will be no different. Democrats are providing real change and real solutions, which is exactly what the American people expect and deserve from their leaders."

10. Of course, we could caption it:
Rumor has it they are house hunting in New England.

5. The GOP was asleep at the wheel on 9/11.
Four major attacks in one single day. Wow, are they sure they wanna go there?

7. They're not even human any more...
They are pathetic freaks.

They are totally going off the deep end.

They remind me of the Nazis. That's not name calling. It's true. They are all
about fear appeals and about controlling the masses with intimidation and threats.

They have no positive agenda, and no ideas that the majority of the American public
finds appealing. So, they resort to fear-based ploys.

Truly sickening.

9. Rebranding?? LOL. They are digging their hole deeper and deeper.
What's that old saying? "If you're in a hole, quit digging."

Pukes haven't learned that lesson yet; they're blinded by hatred.

14. Question: What were Republicans doing to keep America safe on 9/10/2001?
Edited on Thu Apr-30-09 04:16 PM by AndyA
They were on vacation.

They were ignoring warnings of an attack.

They were neglecting their duties to the American people.

They were being irresponsible.

THAT'S what the Republicans were doing. So anything short of that would be an improvement, right? In other words, if you do something...anything it's better than what the Republicans did.

Personally, I feel safer - much safer - with the Democrats in charge.
