GOP public enemy number one.
After years of screaming about Democrats wanting to let terrorists destroy America, it's amazing how blasé they've suddenly become about those dangers. And all because they've decided that the even bigger threat to America is the immigrant parents of American children.
It really is that simple. Check out this poll that Laura flagged earlier, the one that finds that Americans would (rightly) blame Republicans for any Department of Homeland Security shutdown:
Republicans are less likely to see a shutdown as a big problem, 46% say so compared with 66% among Democrats.
Got that? Less than half of Republicans think a DHS shutdown would be a big problem. And certainly their crazy caucus representatives in the House don't see it as a big problem.
Nice turnaround, from the party that once morphed Democratic Sen. Max Cleland into Osama Bin Laden. The party that pretends to be obsessed with defending our country has decided that fuck it, it's more important to tear immigrant families apart, even those of United States citizen children.
Because hatred toward certain families now trumps supposed hatred against terrorism.
Yup, that's your modern GOP at work.
