It's what republicans DO; they LIE. Per DKos;

Ridge politicized homeland security. And lied about it

Former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge met privately with Republican pollsters twice in a 10-day span last spring as he embarked on more than a dozen trips to presidential battleground states, according to records obtained by The Associated Press.
Ridge's get-togethers with Republican strategists Frank Luntz and Bill McInturff during a period the secretary was saying his agency was playing no role in Bush's re-election campaign were revealed in daily appointment calendars obtained by the AP under the Freedom of Information Act.

"We don't do politics in the Department of Homeland Security," Ridge told reporters during the election season.

His aides resisted releasing the calendars for over a year, finally providing them to the AP three days after Ridge left office this month.

3. Yeah, and Condi didn't "do politics" as NSA either ...

Sending Cabinet members out on campaign-style stops IS DOING POLITICS, MORAN! Without politics, these guys don't have any soul; they're as phony as a cardboard movie set.

And MSNBC was complicit in not revealing Frank Dunce from day one as a REPUGLICAN POLLSTER whenever they used him as an "analyst." Only in the past year or so have they begun to admit that he's not without bias, but the damage has already been done. People view him as "legitimate" when he's just another Rethug shill.
