As Republicans languish with no clear party leader and total failure in all their attempts to attack President Obama, there remains one passive strategy on which the Republicans have settled and agreed to support - hope and pray for a terrorist attack on American soil.
No Republican will admit it in public, but in private they will admit that their typical attacks on democrats - that they are liberal/socialist/weak on defense/will tax you to death/will take all your money/are letting illegal immigrants into the country/cozy up to terrorists/will kill all your children/will let pedophiles into your house - are no longer working. As such, the Republicans have adopted a two-step plan to regain power, a plan so grotesque that it would make Machiavelli sick to his stomach.
First - the Republicans will continue to suggest that Obama is weak on terrorism and the Democrats can't protect "the American people" and "our precious children." They don't expect anyone to buy into this... they merely want to be on record as having been saying it, "warning" us over and over about this alleged "fact." It's passive fearmongering (as opposed to active fearmongering, the Republicans' typical M.O.). Why do they want to be on record with this fearmongering? Simple - it goes to step two of their plan.
Step two - from their Bible study groups or their NASCAR races, the Republicans are sitting around hoping and praying to Jesus that there will be a major terrorist attack on American soil. They desperately want this to happen so they can blame Obama and cite it as "proof" that he and the Democrats cannot protect the American people from terrorists ("like we did for seven and a half years!").
I should note that by "terrorist attack" they mean Islamic-based terrorist attack. Christian-based terrorist attacks, like the one that happened to Dr. Tiller at his church last week are perfectly acceptable to the Republicans, and thus won't be blamed on Obama. Not one Republican has so much as suggested that the death of Dr. Tiller to a radical, domestic faith-based terrorist was due to a failure of the Obama Administration's homeland security policies...........
