The Rats are panicking, and now trying to spin this on to the Republicans.

This is even though they STILL REFUSE to secure the border, and REFUSE to stop flights from West Africa.

Who knew there were budget cuts? Budget? What’s a budget? This administration knows no budget. It’s a bottomless pit awash in loot.

Weird for the lying commie ‘RATS to try to blame this on “budget cuts” when the commie ‘RATS are spending millions of dollars on Barry’s “unaccompanied minor” gang members. FUDs!

CDC spending, I think, has tripled since 2001.

This was predictable. The libs reflex solution for gov't failure is always spending (wasting) even more money.

The Republicans should immediately respond with an ad showing that in 2010 the Obama administration scrapped plans to enact sweeping new federal quarantine regulations that the CDC touted four years ago as critical to protecting Americans from dangerous diseases such as ebola.

Remember the definition of a budget cut in Washington?

So CDC budget increased 10% instead of 30% increase. Washington calls the smaller “increase” a cut. LOL!

Oh so they are implying we could have spent our way out of Ebola, that the Dems are allowing to come in and infect everyone. They are breaching protocol. Basically the United States is a dumping ground for Ebola.

No one else in the world calls increase in budgets cuts. Perhaps North Korea?

“a progressive non-profit political organization”

Dropping the euphemistic language used to fool the low/no information voters = “commies”.

Yes it is for the low/no information voters

It should be called a “regressive group of tax dodgers that want to raise taxes on everyone”.

That would put them in the proper context.

This ad is perfect! It’s a perfect opportunity for a voter IQ test. Anyone who believes that Obama, the single president who will have created more public debt than all previous presidents combined, can blame opposition “budget cuts” for his bungled reaction to Ebola, is too stupid to be allowed to vote.

Budget? We have a budget???

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Wait a minute.

Didn't the Demoncrats also just claim GOP "budget cuts" were the reason we couldn't stop the deluge of illegal "children" pouring over the border and being sent to every state in the union?

I guess because that excuse always seems to work with the Media and the Low Information Voters (but, I repeat myself), so they keep using it.

For these worthless pr!cks, it is all politics all of the time.

The pubs would be wise to get on offense. The pictures of people in hazmat suits are stunning and reminds me of the visuals of long gas lines. Obama owns this as he allowed these people into the country.

I would like to see an ad - “America deserves better that this (pictures of people in hazmat suits). We need know who is coming into our country and not allow ebola victims to freely travel into our country and infect our families. This isn’t America. Is this how you want to live?”.

There has NOT BEEN A BUDGET for years, they are working off of Continuing Resolutions.
In fact Senate Dems have explained a Budget is not required, CR’s are fine and dandy

The comments are interesting since this is not just a republican site.

Can we say backfire.
