Tom Ridge on National Security After 9/11 - Washington Whispers (usnews.com)

"Ridge...was pushed to raise the security alert on the eve of President Bush's re-election, something he saw as politically motivated and worth resigning over."

This is EXACTLY why Republicans lying like snakes when it comes to being patriotic Americans.

A TRUE patriot would NEVER have allowed politics to trump national security. A TRUE patriot would save his politics for his one vote and not use it to help rig an election to keep a warmonger in power.

Way to be a patriot Ridge. Too bad you're FIVE YEARS TOO LATE!
