What's dumbest GOP distraction after War on Christmas?

The War on Christmas gets number one for me because there isn't even a real issue behind it, unlike gay marriage, which is a distraction for the right but a very real issue for gays.

What would go on a master list of GOP distraction issues?

Steroids in pro-sports?

cruise ship terrorism?

Anyone's sex life?

I guess there are categories as well as individual stories.

Hillary and/or Bill bashing (for opposite reasons from why they are attacked here ironically).

And when they get really hard up, they go after the Kennedys again.

Dry up the jobs, and that problem goes away.

How many farmers would hire illegals if it meant a night in jail, or even being thrown across the Mexican border with their workers?

and how many wealthy suburbanites are willing to pay more to have their pools cleaned and their yards mowed?

"There were 160,000 troops in Iraq prior to the election. Rumsfeld announced that two brigades would not be deployed, around 7,000 troops. And yet the media reports that the cut of two brigades will take that number below 138,000. Am I the only one confused here?

The Pentagon sent an extra 20,000 troops to Iraq to bolster security during the recent elections, and Rumsfeld has previously said those 20,000 would be withdrawn in January to return U.S. force levels to a 138,000 baseline.

So, contrary to the belief that this is some sort of turning point for troop withdrawal...excuse me, "readjustment"....the military is merely engaging in the same strategy it's used for the last three years: pump up the numbers prior to a major political event, draw then back, then wait for the violence to surge again so you can send more troops in. Notice, significantly, that the troop number will return to a "baseline" of 138,000. We're back to square one. And that's being touted as progress?"

Bush can tease it out all he wants, but if it isn't done in substance or numbers go back up after 06 election, the GOP will take an even bigger beating in 08 for playing games with soldiers lives.

bludgeon--priceless.

There will be another war they'll make up... War on Easter!

When is all this shit going to stop!

all fired up the day after christmas

a. Flag-burning
b. Keeping "under God" in the pledge.

And welcome to DU! :hi:

Someone asked me about that "In God we trust" on coins, and I said I like to pull out a quarter and look at it whenever I doubt the existence of God--it reminds me he's still there.

Faux reported it. A 2fer, our tough prez in harm's way and the spying has paid off to protect the nation.

must be chewed before being swallowed!

some kind of grinding is going on.

the later i kick the longer it lasts... how does one vote for a posting at this site?

a lot like gay marriage and abortion.

They bring it up to lure the jethros out of the mountains to the polls, but when they happen to pass something related to it, the consequences can be devastating.
