No Clear Strategy

It looks like the voters know the Democrats have no clear strategy for Iraq and it doesn't matter.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush and Republicans have taken a battering over
Iraq, but it's not because voters believe Democrats have a clear strategy for ending the conflict and bringing American soldiers home.

"If you ask people out on the street what the message is, they wouldn't know," said Joan Lowery, a 60-year-old insurance company manager, at a recent Democratic fund-raiser in Cincinnati.

Lowery is not alone. Only a quarter of Americans think Democrats in the Congress have a clear plan for Iraq, far less than the 36 percent who believe the president has one, a USA Today/Gallup poll in mid-September found.

But experts said the lack of a clear Democratic plan made no difference at all to most voters. Ambiguity has been part of the Democratic strategy on Iraq all along and has worked quite well, they said.

"For a lot of Democrats it is a very successful strategy to simply mirror the voters' underlying discontent with the war, but not to offer specifics that make them a vulnerable target," said Matthew Woessner, an assistant professor of public policy at Pennsylvania State University.
It looks like the Democrat's secret plan will work as well as Nixon's in terms of winning elections.

I suppose that because cut and run does not poll well it will not be advertised. I do believe if the Ds win it will be policy.

FROM: CAROL HERMAN

The voting world is full of people. I don't think a single label fits them all.

And, Roger L. Simon came up with a doozy label, now: MasturGate, that's gonna be the wreckage to look for on November 8th.

If we were watching a football game, half the fans in the stands would be screaming at the quarterback, with the ball, to RUN THE OTHER WAY!

The donks are about to score for the republicans.

Of course, that's just me. And, my opinion.

Bush rarely comes out to play with the Drive By Media. He's setting new standards.

And, one thing I read that I found funny was from a guy who said he "voted for Bush because Bush was lucky."

And, it's better to choose a "lucky fella" than elect someone who isn't "lucky."

By the way, when names got assigned in WW2, and Patton was put in charge of the 3rd army. He called his headquarters: LUCKY. And, in code, he was designated Lucky Six.

Serving with "lucky" gave ya better odds than serving with the germans.

But again, that's just my opinion. Well, actually, that's a fact.

And, we're doing fine in Iraq. Bush has a marvelous way of lowering expectations. Which is a good thing to couple to "lucky."

While the donks intend to win in November by now alienating gay voters. Who knew there was so much hostility on the left? (It's like watching those idiots in Gazoo. You wonder, sometimes, who thinks up their strategies.)

While we bask in "strat-e-jerry's." Seinfeld used to be good at that, too.
