Republicans Are Pressing the ISIS Fear Button Hard for Midterm Votes
The Daily Beast ^ | October 15, 2014 | Josh Rogin

Posted on 10/15/2014 6:58:11 PM PDT by MeshugeMikey

Republicans Are Pressing the ISIS Fear Button Hard for Midterm Votes Jihadis pouring across the border. Obama powerless to respond to the chaos. Democrats out to lunch. That’s the picture GOP campaigns and political groups are painting—and it’s working . As the war against ISIS in Iraq and Syria flails, Republican congressional candidates and political action groups are spending at breakneck speeds to attach the calamity to Democratic incumbents in vulnerable seats, and the worse it gets overseas, the worse it gets for those Democrats.

The Republicans don’t have to do a thing. Democrats like Mr. Obama, Judge Clay Jenkins and Vice President Biden are panicking people all by themselves.

Its about good vs evil.

Its really quite simple.

Our opponents have a hard time acknowledging what we’re facing. We don’t.

Our accumulated problems are such that we cannot shrug them off and simply hope for the best.

If we want to survive as a country, we must assume the burdens that come with living in the greatest country on earth.

Its a privilege and an honor to live in the United States Of America. Let’s be worthy of it.

They're getting desperate, which means they may get sloppy. This could be the time to catch and document the vote fraud and use that to push for reforms.

The CDC Chief regrets not sending staff to Dallas faster to have prevented Ebola spread. But, he doesn’t express regret that these nurses would not have been infected in the first place if there had been a West African travel ban that would have kept patient zero out of the USA initially.

Not to mention that Obozo refuses to prohibit people from ebola ravaged countries.

The Republicans aren’t pressing anytjing about ISIS. The MSM is and it’s warranted if they have the capability of coming across our Southern border and detonating a nuke or trying to institute sharia law and enslaving Christians. Hell they’ve already crucified Christians in the Middle East, cut off infidel’s heads, raped women in the streets, burnt downt churches and destroyed historical sites, not to mentioned are now heavily armed and funded by very wealthy radical elements. I think we have a right to be cautious and alarmed.

I believe it is ISIS that is pressing the Democrats, not the Republicans.

ISIS may take Bagdad.

That is clearly losing a war that for the most part had been won. The past ineffective actions just bolster the reality that this administration and their enablers could not do a decisive and effective move in the international stage if they even had a clue what one was. They disregard their own experts and substitute a philosophical solution. They really don’t understand that actions will determine what is remembered, not silly talk.

Status of Forces Agreement
Tweet BringBackOurGirlsNow
Bomb 12 sorties a day vs more than 100,000 troops
Lie about Ebola/wait on action on Ebola
Bring infected children from S. America and disburse them in the country without concern for citizens (EnteroVirus)
Obamacare will save taxpayers money
Occupy Wall Street is against Wall Street (Hundreds of Billion in Wall Street bailouts)

The list goes on...

“They will always tell you what they are afraid of.” The RATS are kings of projection, the more they yell, the more you know they are lying.

I read somewhere today that Obama was going to ask that his first grandchild be named Ebola. And ISIS would make a fine middle name if Hussein isn't selected. Would be a phonetic name worthy of a democrat position on a future ballot --- Ebola ISIS Obama.......

Uh...because it's true? Between this and the Ebola farce what the country is getting is an accurate picture of the most destructive administration in the country's history. You don't need to embellish it, it speaks for itself.

Republicans ought to get a hold of old tapes of Reed, Pelosi and their ilk from 2004 through 2008 declaring the many failures of the administration and the announcements that the war is lost, and play them back over and over.

Maybe even throw in a few "pass it to see what's in it" oldie but goodies, just for the grins.

Reminding voters on these incompetent boobs and their failed ideas, over and over and over....

Primarily because it happens to be true.

ISIS may be the biggest threat the world has seen in our lifetime. This article proves how stupid Democrats are.
