After the terror scare in the UK, the Republicans will no doubt use homeland security as a major campaign issue yet again.
But, then we happen to come across this on Yahoo! News:
“While the British terror suspects were hatching their plot, the Bush administration was quietly seeking permission to divert $6 million that was supposed to be spent this year developing new homeland explosives detection technology.”
So, I guess what we have here is just another example of GOP double-talk. Talk big on homeland security, then cut the funds. You can find similar stories on veterans’ issues, education, agriculture, workers’ issues, and the list goes on.
The Republican party; Hypocrisy Personified.
