This writer over the past several years has commented how the republicans use personal attacks against democrats because they can not compete on the issues. The latest personal attacks against President Obama concerns the terror attack at the U.S. Embassy in Lybia and the killing of 4 Americans is a prime example. Romney, Ryan and a host of other republicans accused the President of failing to protect our people at the embassy. Then some republican member of congress including Louisiana rep's Steve Scalise and Jeff Landry sent a letter to the President criticing the embassy for an apology about a anti Muslim film.
What chaps the so called conservatives is the fact that President Obama has kept America safe both home and abroad better than past republican Presidents. Reagan sent our Marines to Lebanon in 1983 to appease Israel and terrorists blew up the Marine compound killing 241 Marines and wounding many others. None of those terrorists have been brought to justice.
The worst foreign terror attack on U.S. soil happened on 9/11 and killed over 2000 Americans. It happened on the republican watch of George W. Bush and it happened while he was trying to talk tough. If you follow the conservative rhetoric, one would have to assume that Reagan and Bush failed to keep the country safe. But you did not hear them say that at the time.
Republicans have no character or courage and are a sad example of being a man and Scalise and Landry are the worst of the lot. Former republican Presidential candidate John McCain and then V.P. Dick Chaney during the election of 2008 told the American people that if Obama was elected America would not be safe. A man with character and courage would never use scare tactics on the American people. The President has not only kept America safe, he brought Bin Laden to justice.
The American people should get the picture by now. Republicans have no record of positive accomplishments so they try to bring the democrats down to their level. That is why they want to see democrats fail and that is what drives their personal attacks.
Its hell when you can't ack like a man and you have no character or courage.
