A Quickie: Snappy Comebacks

By Zamboni

Th Romneybots couldn't have been very happy, looking at the headlines we cats were perusing today. Many of them were negative, and often of their candidate's own making.

But one of the most interesting was this one, attached to a lengthy story in POLITICO that discussed the Democrats' very effective campaign against the Republican nominee on national security.

You know the old saying: What goes around comes around. And the Republicans, who have essentially abandoned any serious discussion of foreign policy this election, deserve this payback in spades.

In fact, it's been brutal enough for the GOP that we cats are certain that some of their whiny weepies — with entirely straight faces and umbrage worthy of the famous quitter from Alaska — soon will condemn Democrats for the Swift Boating of Willard Mitt Romney.

To which we cats would have the following replies:
  • Oh, yeah? Max Cleland.
  • What else would you expect from the folks who campaigned on "Vote Democratic And Die"?
  • Republicans didn't finish the fight in Afghanistan. They lied the country into Iraq. They put both wars on a credit card. And left us to fix everything.
  • Whining. It's so not like Ronnie, so un-George H.W. Bush, so anti-Ike.
  • When Mitt Romney and his five sons can match the wartime service of a Democrat like Tammy Duckworth, maybe we'll listen.
