Well, it's true. Shame he didn't add that the Gestapo tactics of the Clinton administration didn't stop terrorist attacks either.
I’m trying to remember how Rush puts it.
Something about, “America isn’t ready for a Democrat in the White House.”
Such a comment would be counter-productive at minimum. You and I might know and understand the point you raise but it's old news, water under the bridge etc. to the sheeple. And the media would portray anybody who made such a claim as the devil incarnate.
The Clinton machine would roar like the furnaces of H-e-double toothpicks. Such a comment, no matter how true or factual, would backfire on any candidate that made such a claim at this point in time.
