“The Kansas Republican Party is sending out mailers in legislative races around the state depicting ISIS fighters and explosions from terrorist attacks,” the Wichita Eagle reports.

Said Kansas GOP chief Clay Barker: “We did polling and focus groups, and the one issue that got overwhelming positive response and was associated with Republicans was safety. You know, Gitmo, that article that came out back in August that ISIS had named soldiers for assassinations, police being shot and those knuckleheads in Garden City, it all kind of added up to a security issue … the whole feeling that’s there violence out there. And it’s a positive issue for Republicans.”

1. What

is it with the massive amnesia about the Republican record on "security"? Without even going into non-terrorism-related security issues (i.e. Job security), Republicans always try to snowball people into forgetting being asleep at the wheel on 9/11/01, which cost 3000 people their lives (they never did capture the mastermind behind it either) and the Iraq invasion/occupation, which unleashed the holy hell of ISIS, cost Americans another 4000+ lives and numerous additional casualties. Oh, and there were several embassy attacks and fatalities on their watch too between 2001-2009. How this continues to be a "positive issue" FOR Republicans remain a complete and utter mystery.
