GOP and Cognitive Dissonance

Some examples of GOP looking at the same thing and seeing two very different things

Benghazi versus gun control
""we have the best army in the world---HOW could they not get to Benghazi in less than 24 hours??""

on why people say they need guns
""cops cant be everywhere---it takes time for them to get there and can only respond AFTER a crime has been committed""

Government
""Government is not the solution to our problem, government IS the problem"" said Reagan

From Reagan's Drug War speeches
http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/1986/091486a.htm
""Thirty-seven Federal agencies are working together in a vigorous national effort, and by next year our spending for drug law enforcement will have more than tripled from its 1981 levels. We have increased seizures of illegal drugs. Shortages of marijuana are now being reported. Last year alone over 10,000 drug criminals were convicted and nearly $250 million of their assets were seized by the DEA, the Drug Enforcement Administration.""

ok well he did say this as well 
"" It must include a combination of government and private efforts which complement one another. Last month I announced six initiatives which we believe will do just that.""

""these proposals will bring the Federal commitment to fighting drugs to $3 billion.""

""Your government will continue to act aggressively,""

REAGAN CALLS ON UNION HALLS!!!! OMG !!
""Those of you in union halls and workplaces everywhere: Please make this challenge a part of your job every day. Help us preserve the health and dignity of all workers. ""

In 1988, Reagan created the Office of National Drug Control Policy to coordinate drug-related legislative, security, diplomatic, research and health policy throughout the government. Successive agency directors were dubbed “drug czars” by the media. In 1993, President Bill Clinton raised the post to Cabinet-level status.
