“The Republican I ran against, at the end of the campaign, had decided that I was "a friend of terrorists" and "a friend of pedophiles." That's the kind of crap they came out with.

“George W. Bush, another Republican who I probably didn`t agree with on much, right after 9/11 went to a mosque and joined with some Muslim leaders and said that, look, you know, we`re not going to tolerate any backlash. These people who attacked our country are criminals and they`re terrorists, and they might try to profess a religion, but they definitely violate the principles of that religion.” PeopleKnowsTryingLooksSaidCountryMightLeaderPrinciplesRepublicanAgreeCriminalsTerroristOur CountryTolerateMosquesBacklash Author:Steve King

“A critical component of White House Scandal Defense 101 is rallying the partisan base. This keeps approval ratings in territory where the wheels don't start falling off. The way to achieve this goal is you go negative and you don't let up. If you're always attacking your accusers, the debate becomes one of Democrat vs. Republican, rather than right vs. wrong. Anyone who questions the legality of the decision to wiretap thousands of Americans unlawfully is attacked, as either an enabler of terrorists or a bitter partisan trying to distract a president at war.” IfsWayTryingWarFallHouseGoalPresidentWhiteDecisionAchieveRepublicanNegativeDemocratCriticalDefenseDebateTerroristBitterWheelsWhite HouseTerritoryApprovalComponentsScandalAttackingRatingPartisansFalling OffLegalityAccusersRallyingApproval RatingEnablers Author:Bob Barr
