IMO, it is because the minute our side fights back hard, the legacy media and the progressive blogs begin hammering that we are against free speech, that they never said whatever, that Republicans who lie are now lying again, etc, etc, etc.

The "Bush Lied" meme was orchestrated and has succeeded in driving down the numbers on his strongest point: his credibility. even when the (rigged) polls show that the majority believe we need to stay the course and that the world is better off because of our actions in Iraq, those same respondents say the POTUS is dishonest. I believe the POTUS' approval numbers took a hit from conservatives during the Miers fiasco, but I doubt it would have gone below 48% in an honest poll.

Unfortunately, responding to donk attacks ends up as a pissing contest with a skunk. I give the administration credit for coming out strong, regardless of the certain knowledge that the media is going to spin it, as witness the "Bush In A Bubble" headline or the distortion of Cheney's characterization of content as personal attacks.

The past couple of days, I have noticed our side constantly saying they respect Murtha as a former Marine and as a person, but that "He is wrong."

But, then, I only watch FNC and can't always get to the mute button when the donks are spouting. Luckily, my blood pressure isn't high to begin with.

The same milquetoasting allowed Kerry to skate through the entire Presidential election without releasing his service record. It's not working!

The President is an honorable man, and the left committed outright theft of his decency and veteran status.
