No, Mr. Bush, YOU cut and run

Republicans The Real Cut-And-Run Cowards

Bob Geiger at Huffington Post:

Republicans have become so accustomed to using the phrase "cut and run" that they probably mumble it while sleeping and their childlike leader, George W. Bush, babbled it again yesterday, saying at yet another GOP fundraiser that "the party of FDR and the party of Harry Truman has become the party of cut and run."

That takes a ton of nerve coming from a Chickenhawk like Bush, who used Daddy's connections to avoid Vietnam and then went AWOL from his cushy stateside post. But we've heard that empty phrase from the cretins in the right-wing of the Republican party so many times that it barely even registers any longer.

Whether he's in a cave, a nice hotel in Karachi or a CIA safe house, bin Laden must be laughing himself silly over the crisis of heart, soul and character he has so easily inflicted on the Bush Administration and, thus, our country.

It's trivial for a nation to stand by its creed when times are easy. But it's times like these, when circumstances and conditions are tough, that give us the real test of our national strength, courage and resolve.

Under Republican leadership, we are failing that test in the most miserable and pathetic way.

Geiger is right, Mr. Bush; YOU are the one who cuts and runs.

You cut and ran from your sworn responsibilities in the Texas Air National Guard.

You cut and ran from your pledge to capture or kill Osama bin Laden.

You cut and ran from supporting US troops.

And you have cut and run from your sworn obligation to uphold the Constitution.

Mr. Bush, you are the Cutter-and-runner-in-Chief.
