GOP Rolls Out Tired Old Attacks

With the GOP's effor to "rebrand" itself, they felt it necessary to a try and squeeze every last drop out of one their favorite attacks: Dems are weak on national security. The GOP is attacking Obama for making us "less safe." (It seems that Cheney might have had a hand in this. His sick calculation is that if they harp on this long talking point and if something bad happens, they might get power back. Sick!)

"House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio and Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Pete Hoekstra of Michigan in a new Web video are accusing President Barack Obama of making decisions that have left the nation more vulnerable to attack."

The ironic part is that Obama was one of the first dems to fight the GOP on this line of attack. The GOP really do have a serious branding problem. Voters see them as the party of "No": They have no ideas, no leaders and no vision. 

My suggestion. Lay low for the next 4 years. Really try and govern and maybe along the way the ideas and leadership will start coming. They are flailing around trying to look like they are doing something when they really are doing nothing and voters can see that.
