Great minds think (almost exactly) alike

I took note of these releases yesterday. First from RNC chairman Ken Mehlman:

Earlier today, Senator Harry Reid and Senator John Kerry attacked the administration’s efforts in the War on Terror. Below is a response from RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman.

“On a day when American authorities are working with our allies to stop a global terror plot, instead of focusing on political attacks, we should focus on the fact that we are at war and need every tool to win the War on Terror. If Harry Reid had his way and killed the Patriot Act and ended the Terrorist Surveillance Program, authorities would be less able to uncover terror plots. If John Kerry had his way and we surrendered Iraq to the terrorists, Islamic jihadists would be strengthened and even more dangerous in the future. The main lesson of today is America needs to continue working with our allies and stay on the offense in the Global War on Terror.”

Now read this one from Minnesota GOP chair Ron Carey:

Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Ron Carey today issued the following statement after liberal Democrats John Kerry and Harry Reid attacked the Administration’s handling of the Global War on Terror.

“Liberal Democrats John Kerry and Harry Reid have long records playing politics with America’s national security and today’s attacks are no exception.

“If Harry Reid had been successful in killing the Patriot Act and ending the Terrorist Surveillance Program, authorities would be handcuffed in their attempts to uncover terror plots. If we followed John Kerry’s lead by surrendering Iraq to the terrorists, Islamic jihadists would be emboldened and bolstered. As today’s events make clear, America needs to continue working with our allies and stay on the offense in the Global War on Terror. Minnesotans deserve to know if Amy Klobuchar and Patty Wetterling believe killing the Patriot Act, ending the Terrorist Surveillance Program and surrendering in Iraq are the kind of national security goals they share with their party’s leaders.”

Man, are those guys on the same page, or what?

Don't you remember Karl Rove's comments when he was in town? It's the chip in their brains!
