Why isn't Republican leadership as astounded by the FACT there is no USA bus manufacturer that can build a custom made bus to meet the requirements of the Secret Service?
That is the problem. Not the fact this bus was made in Canada, at least they are allies. Why wasn't it made in the USA? Why?
...When the Secret Service decided (click title to entry - thank you) to order custom-made buses, it wanted a particular model only available from Quebec-based manufacturer Prevost, said Ed Donovan, a spokesman for the agency.
"The vehicle had to support the weight of security and communication equipment that we had," Donovan said in an interview. "Our understanding was that that was the only model that could do it."
Donovan said the Secret Service ordering a custom-built bus gave the agency "a level of security that we couldn't achieve by doing it the other way."
President George W. Bush rode on a bus from the same Canadian manufacturer for a spring 2004 "Yes, America Can" campaign tour through the Midwest....
Republican tactics may work, but, they are completely moronic. They state the President's Bus was made in Canada as if he went out and purchased it himself as a preference to one made in the USA. That would be interesting, but, why would he not have the choice of "Buying American?" Answer that one !
What is completely hideous about all this is that Republicans actually PARTICIPATE in the Moron Game. What does that say about what they believe about the electorate? Are they willing to be morons for their preferred party or are they actually declining an education in hopes it will have a purpose of political domination?
