(in the US to deflect attention from their across the board failures as we head into the final stretch of an election?)
We have troops heading to ground zero in the current Ebola outbreak (and if anyone is infected - it is a guaranteed headline over several news cycles), we have an infected nurse here at home and a near-constant stream of news about folks here, there and everywhere being tested for the disease. We have children dead from enterovirus and in all of this, our government has shown no desire to shut down our borders and the entry of people from affected countries. When the statements of the CDC's Dr. Frieden and NIH's Dr. Fauci are examined vis-a-vis isolation, most sane people will conclude that they contain nothing but doublespeak.
But aside from the fact that every other news item has been swept off the radar, (think various scandals but importantly, Leon Panetta's book revelations) the Democrats get to act all holier-than-thou by running an ad that actually charges the hapless Republicans of cutting NIH/CDC funding. If these people were genuinely concerned about the welfare of the people of this country, would they have politicized this serious matter with an ad that is an outright lie?
I think not but these are Democrats we are talking about here; idiotic, insane, irrational pied-pipers appealing to the emotions and fears of their followers.
Is it not entirely plausible then, that this is an October surprise for which they are glad?
“Would this actually surprise anyone”
No, you have posted vanities before.

Oh, snap!
Sure I have - don’t see the problem though; it’s in the right place, no?
If it looks like a duck . . .
Either intended are an unlikely series of incompetencies? Even government isn’t as consistent in screwing up, so yeah, I think it is intentional.
Global crisis. Imported to America. Our great government savior steps in and heals the world.
OOOPPSSS.........The former Bloomberg chum who runs the CDC has discovered that 16 ounce sodas and guns are the least of our problems, although those were his big public health accomplishments of the past 20 years.
INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY.COM REPORTED Secretary of State John Kerry warned of a new surge of illegals, just as Central America is being hit by a new wave of epidemics. No doubt about it: President Obama's open-borders policy is exposing us to disease, too.
In a background press briefing at the U.N. last Tuesday, a senior State Department official said Secretary of State John Kerry told his counterparts from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico that the pause in minors coming across our southern border was temporary, and that "we have to use this time to put in place more efforts, greater efforts to get at the root cause of this, because we know that those numbers may rise again."
The next wave may be worse than the first, however, because monsoon conditions, a harsh drought and the globalization of transport are ensuring that the 50,000 or so unscreened new entrants will be bringing a raft of new diseases with them.
Though little reported, the Caribbean is on high alert for the spread of chikungunya, known as "the virus of pain." Its Tanzanian-origin Bantu name means "to contort," describing the agony it leaves in joints for years. Some 183,000 cases were detected in the region this year as it spreads from the same mosquitoes that transmit dengue and yellow fever. Central America, according to a report in El Pais, is the epicenter. Puerto Rico has reported 2,000 cases and three deaths.
But the disease has worked its way up to the U.S.; Texas and Florida reported victims who have already contracted it without traveling to the affected regions. (Excerpt) Read more at news.investors.com .. 10/9
If they had a wife-beating trailer at the fair, would you be cool with beating your wife there?
Looks like the right place, eh?
Sure. Yep. But I meant under “bloggers and personal” and this was not an excerpt so I still don’t see the problem. Take care.
When there was an Ebola scare yesterday here at LAX, someone on the local CBS news web site actually said that he hopes that all Republicans get Ebola and die..that is their plan, they already know they lost the Senate, and we already know they want us all dead, so this is their plan, get Ebola into America and kill as many Conservatives as possible
Doesn`t change the fact that it`s a good question. Even better question, why have the Retardicans not used THIS as an issue: Obola cares more about the West African economy than about American lives.
I think that’s absurd. It won’t help Democrats to remind everyone how incompetent this administration is right before the election.
When do I hear the piubies run commercials blaming the rats and the head rat for ebola in this country
If the Democrats didn’t want Americans to die, they would stop flights and visas from the ebola ravaged countries.
Also they would not have allowed thousands of illegal alien unscreened children and adults into the country and disperse them secretly through out the states.
They also would not allow the incompetence of the CDC to continue.
enterovirus - the forgotten plague.
Republicans won’t say anything about stopping flights from Africa because they’re afraid of being called racists. In fact, they’re simply afraid of everything. If they had any balls and cared about this country they would not only announce they want the borders sealed and flights from Africa stopped, they’d also say “And every democrat that calls us racists is going to get his ass kicked.”
Kerry, Hillary and every other democrat must have sold their souls to the devil. Otherwise, why are they not standing up for this country?
As for the republicans, either they did the same thing or they’re simply afraid of the devil.
They’re afraid of being called racists. They’ve allowed this crap to go on so long unchallenged that they’re now afraid to challenge it.
Retardicans??
We have a spineless GOP in congress. There is no difference these days.
People / sheepl are divided into so many groups - many.
I used to be Repub but the party left me.
I stand on the Word of God - the bible - not party.
Psst, don’t tell them that’s not how it’s going to work...
