Yep, John Boehner's making an old, poll-tested, ideological pledge to keep America safe.
On his
jolly little official speaker's blog, Republican House Speaker John Boehner (or his minion poster) tosses off a post titled
10 Questions for President Obama About Keeping America Safe and Secure, there are nine actually reasonable questions, and then one that ends the entry with a flourish:
What is more important: fulfilling old, poll-tested, ideological campaign pledges or keeping America safe and secure?
Gee, I don't know, Mr. Speaker. That's a tough one. I'm sure the Kenyan Muslim Commie president will be stumped by that one.
On the other hand, is Boehner trying to say that "keeping America safe and secure" doesn't poll well? That it's old and poll-tested and ideological (presumably, Obama's dreaded ideology) to have a desire to keep America safe and secure?
A truly nutty rhetorical question.
