Some people (especially on Daily Kos) are upset at the piece I wrote lamenting about how the Dems are allowing themselves to get their rears kicked, but it’s because of ideas like

    THE ONLY ISSUE IS WAR AND TERRORISM, PEOPLE.

    Agreed, and it’s why Dem’s have been getting their butt kicked. Had the Dems come up with something better than “We’ll fight terrorists anywhere we find them … except in Iraq. Wanna go for a mai-tai in Okinawa?”, we’d be looking at a 1984-style landslide.

    The obvious that is escaping here is that by dealing effectively with the war on terror and this disasterous Iraq oil junket, we can get a handle on on spending and prioritize our outlays accordingly. That translates to better macro economic management.

    Note to all campaigning Dems: It’s the war, stupid.

    I’m still waiting to hear the comprehensive Republican War on Terror strategy. I just can’t figure how they can sell such crap. It’s fail on 9-11, can’t catch Osama bin Laden, Can’t successfully occupy countries including one that we have no business being in, piss off our allies time and time again, drive those who aren’t our allies into stronger opposition (like China), fail to prepare the country for disasters, mock international cooperation, mock the law enforcement side of it because they can’t successfully convict anyone, until they get Kangaroo Courts that rely on Torture. Recap: fucked up 9-11, fucked up Afghanistan, Fucked up Iraq, fucked up Katrina, Torture. Oh and throw a lot of money at politically connected contractors and give jobs to politically connected hacks. So let’s add Corruption and Cronyism to the recap as well.

    The DC Democrats agree with the Bush anti-terror program.

    That’s why they want to make the economy the issue.

    Only the Big Dog himself has actually posed the question, albeit on the roundabout when he slapped down Wallace, about why bin Laden is still alive. And the natural corallary is “The GOP let the mass murderer bin Laden get away. Don’t reward them for failure. American blood screams for justice.”

    I don’t see how the Democrats think the current strategy of whining about “mismanagement” and “misleading” us can be expected to win.
