Because it’s only “exploiting a crisis for political gain” when Democrats do it, apparently…
I’ve blogged for years about the spread of contagious diseases from around the world into the U.S. as a result of uncontrolled immigration. [Never mind that nearly all of the cases of swine flu in the U.S. at this point are the result of kids traveling to Mexico on vacation. — Ed.] We’ve heard for years from reckless open-borders ideologues who continue to insist there’s nothing to worry about. And we’ve heard for years that calling any attention to the dangers of allowing untold numbers of people to pass across our borders and through our other ports of entry without proper medical screening — as required of every legal visitor/immigrant to this country — is RAAAACIST.
9/11 didn’t convince the open-borders zealots to put down their race cards and confront reality.
Maybe the threat of their sons or daughters contracting a deadly virus spread from south of the border to their Manhattan prep schools will.
Well, it didn’t take long for partisan Democrats to blame the swine flu outbreak on the Republican Party.
Here’s the line: Since House Republicans all opposed the trillion-dollar-porkulus, which included funding for pandemic preparations, it’s all. Our. Fault.
[…]
So any natural disaster or bio-catastrophe that comes along, for which fiscal conservatives refused to support funding for in an economic recovery package, will now be all. Our. Fault.
And President Obama can once invoke [sic] his time-tested alibi: He inherited the problem.
Someone call the WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHmbulence!
THERE SEEMS TO BE A … *AHEM* … PANDEMIC OF IRONY DEFICIENCY: Get Don Surber into containment, STAT!
Apparently the Obama administration is not yet ready for prime time. From Politico: “As flu hits, holes in W.H. health team.”
Which explains why the White House is desperately blaming the swine flu on the Republican Congress vote against the $787,000,000,000 “stimulus” package.
[…]
In all, 19 positions and the secretary are empty desks.
Gee, Don, I wonder why that might be?
