Open letter to the Republican Party:

Please stop lying. Guiliani made points about Obama’s experience, and his argument there was on solid footing. Then he said:

Look at just one example in a lifetime of principled stands - John McCain’s support for the troop surge in Iraq. The Democratic Party had given up on Iraq. And I believe, ladies and gentlemen, that when they gave up on Iraq they were giving up on America. The Democratic leader in the Senate said so: “America has lost.” Well, if America lost, who won? Al-Qaida? Bin Laden? In the single biggest policy decision of this election, John McCain got it right and Barack Obama got it wrong. . . . full speech

Bush told us Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. He was wrong. Ever since then, our Republican Party shouts Al-Qaida/Bin Laden and Iraq in the same breath. There is no connection. Al-Qaida/Bin Laden were sheltered in a completely different country called Afghanistan.

It’s easy to prey upon American’s weak education system, its overworked class is too busy to remember what Bush told it last week. Have some moral character, though. Admit you’re wrong. Admit our leaders will send people to die if it fills their pocketbooks. You say you believe in Hell but you act like you can outrun it.
