Who's Got It Right?
So internal GOP polls say that Republican voters are highly motivated. Yet the AP is telling us that Republicans may abandon the President.
Who's right? Of course, the GOP has an incentive to spin the truth. But the sad fact is that "objective" journalists are no less prone to the same techniques -- and they've been predicting Republican defections for years now.

I've got it right, of course!
:o)
I believe Americans are willing to work as long and hard as necessary to win the war. But the looney left and their subjugate Democrats have created such a controversy that the public is growing weary of all the bickering.
In the end, though,I believe the American electorate is too savy and too serious to put Democrats in control at this critical point in history.
editor confuses disagreement with Bush policies with Republicans leaving the party. Doesn't work that way. We have no problem calling Bush on things over which we disagree, and still consider him a sight better than any Dem that might have opposed him, particularly on the top of the list issue of fighting terrorism. But as he's not running for office again any time soon, we still have to keep the big chair out from under the asses of Democratic posers, who would put us all at risk by their very presence.
Two things . . .
First,
Honestly, I think the president went in with good intentions even though he had to gin up data a bit to get to go to war. Rumsfeld, moreso than Bush is to blame for the colossal failure to achieve victory.
Second,
As I heard in the podcast from NPR today Maj Gen John Baptiste US Army (ret) former commander of the Big Red One made it clear that Rumsfeld should be forced out and fresh blood brought in to fix the DoD at the top and give America a chance to win.
The major general feels we would have to start all over again and "reinvade" from Kuwait with between 150-200,000 troops occupying each town securing it and turning it over directly to Iraqi forces and police. The process would take three years. Here is a solution to stand by, We will give you your country back and in two years you will be ready to take over. We will stay an extra year to be sure withdrawing in parts until on the last day the commanding officer would board a helo and be off."
Sounds like a fine plan to me. If the Iraqis cannot stand up for themselves three years from this October, well then America will occupy that country forever.
C.E.
"empire building"? "world domination"? Give it a rest. Tell the truth, editor. You're really Cindy Sheehan, aren't you? Who else would spew such stupid crap?
Cav,
I won't say your plan stinks, but aren't we now accused of being "occupiers" with far fewer troops? The looney left would go ballistic.
