(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?
Bob Beckel, the lib member of the Fox News show, ‘the Five’ stated a couple of weeks ago that the Dems were preparing an October Surprise and that it would have to do with national security.
I don’t think he meant Ebola, since that wasn’t on the radar screen then and Ebola doesn’t fit the definition of a national security issue that the dems could manipulate as to date and time.
Thanks. You at least have to wonder about it because there is no doubt in my mind that if the scenario were reversed, the Democrats would be making the charge.
I believe you are correct about until...they probably gained some confidence (in their arrogance) after treating the two doctors in Atlanta.
I know a lot of folks in the Caribbean and they have been complaining about chikungunya and how horrible it is.
You could be right but think about their base; to these people government (and more of it) is always the answer and if they are trying to drive them to the voting booth, then what I have said is quite possible.
Thanks for the realtime report.
This is the question; they will never make the charge because they are spineless. As others have commented, they are afraid of being called racists which can be easily rebutted, in my opinion.
I agree.
Leftists do a lot of perverse things and are not aware of the driving motivations.
Yes, they think it would be “fair” for America to have a third world pandemic, and that we “deserve it”,
but you’ll never get one to admit it.
Their primary motivation is their own sanctimony and self-righteousness. They’re “good people” for not thinking America should be spared.
Once again, I agree with your comments.
Yeah, I remember this. Who knows what else could be in play. We’ll see.
You are right, of course.
