Democrats Really Hate It When Republicans Tell the Truth About Them

Stepping Up Attacks, Bush Calls Democrats 'Softer' on Terrorists

STOCKTON, Calif., Oct. 3 -- President Bush ratcheted up his campaign offensive against Democrats on Tuesday with perhaps his bluntest rhetoric yet as he accused them of being "softer" on terrorists and willing to allow attacks on Americans rather than interrogate or spy on the nation's enemies.

With his party in serious trouble five weeks before Election Day, Bush shifted into full campaign mode this week, kicking off a month of frenetic barnstorming aimed at drawing disgruntled Republicans back into the fold. As part of the effort, he has escalated the intensity of his attacks with each passing day, culminating with what aides called a "very aggressive" series of speeches Tuesday.

"Time and time again, the Democrats want to have it both ways," he told donors here. "They talk tough on terror, but when the votes are counted, their softer side comes out."

He added: "If you don't think we should be listening in on the terrorist, then you ought to vote for the Democrats. If you want your government to continue listening in when al-Qaeda planners are making phone calls into the United States, then you vote Republican."

The truth of President Bush's statements should be self-evident to any who are even half-way paying attention to the War Against the Global Islamic Jihad. Mr. Baker is one of those Democrats (shhh, you're not supposed to know his bias) in the press who are doing their darndest to supress the Conservative vote. They think that since we're all too stupid to see things their way, that we're also too stupid to see what they are attempting to do.

Every election year we hear over and over about the "Republican October Surprise." The problem is, it is always the Democrat October Surprise. Remember the DWI charges made against then Governor Bush the weekend before the 2000 election? Remember John Kerry-Heinz's false October 2004 story about the alleged failure to secure 380 tons of explosives in Iraq? Now in their desperation to get control of Congress, it appears that Democrats knew about the heinous activities of former Representative Tom Foley and held on to that news (and consequently endangered other underage victims) until the last day of this Congressional session, just so that the Republicans would not be able to name a replacement.

The myth of the "October Surprise" is a persistent lie told by the Democrats to scare the American voter into believing that something underhanded is being planned by their opponents, when it has proven time and again to be the Democrats themselves who engaged in this conduct.

No lie is too egregious to be used by the Democrats for this purpose, knowing that any later investigation by Congress will be muted by their efforts, and that no real repercussions will accrue to them.
