Why did it take 9/11 to make Republicans understand

[TomPainesBones]

what Democrats already knew?

We WARNED you. You didn't listen. You didn't care. Terrorism didn't start on September 11th. Republicans just think it did.

Voting Republicans into office means putting the government in a perpetual state of on-the-job training.

No one could have anticipated...
No one could have foreseen...

"It was learned on 9/11 that in fact what's going on 10,000 miles away in a place like Afghanistan has a direct impact on the United States when we lost 3,000 people." -- Dick Cheney

Duh.
Too bad we had to lose 3,000 civilians and the Twin Towers for you to figure that out.

1. Amen! Clinton had been saying as much for years, as had Gore.

They just really don't care until they're personally affected.

Experience keeps a dear school, but it's the only place fools will learn.

I just wish we didn't have to go through their remedial courses with them. :x

3. The Repuds Were Too Busy Obsessing Over l'affaire Lewinsky

The Repuds were too busy obsessing about consensual sex in the White House with an intern of legal age to pay attention to such minor bagatelles as US embassies being blown up in east Africa, plots to blow up US airliners in mid-air, and Osama bin Laden's fatwa calling for the killing of Americans everywhere.

Nearly eight years later the Repuds want us to believe that their Manchurian "conservative" administration is run by "competent" "adults."
