A Cynic's Take

A cynic might look at the fact that the Republican party has apparently decided to double-down on the idea that electing a Democrat is, in effect, opening the door for another terrorist attack to occur on American soil, and the fact that the Republican party is currently in charge of the security apparatus in America, and conclude that we are in for a royal ass-fucking sometime between now and November.

A cynic would think that.

He might also note that it's somewhat ironic that the Republicans have become, in essence, the party in search of bad news. I remember that, in the early days of the insurgency in Iraq, it was fashionable for Republican blathering heads to talk about how horrible, truly awful!, it was that the Democrats (or, in the rightist parlance, 'members of the Democrat Party'), were, basically, hoping for bad things to happen to our brave sons and daughters, in the front line War on Terror in Baghdad, and Mosul, and Faluja. How unpatriotic it was for the Democrats to opening be cheering for the terrorists, since that was the only route they could regain power in Washington.

Well, a cynic might point out that the Republicans, who have adopted the mantle of the Party of Terror, have adopted the same position with regards to an attack on our home soil.

I wouldn't say such a thing, because while I think the Republicans have some awfully juvenile and shortsighted ideas as to how to prevent terror attacks from happening, it would never occur to me to suggest that they don't have the best interests of America at heart.

But a cynic? He might say such things.
