Born stupid is more like it...this is the same James Webb who last week in the Democratic Radio Address said President Bush is "no Eisenhower" who knew how to achieve peace through honor by signing a ceasefire in the Korean War and used that as a model for what should be done in Iraq, that the US should just give up the fight like we did in Korea.
Geez Jim, with North Korea destabilizing all of Asia, building nukes and causing an international crisis with a dozen missile launches, it sure looks now like one of history's great blunders that we left the North Korean regime in place, doesn't it? Now you're proposing we give up the fight in Iraq to allow another rogue regime to take over there? So 2 rogue regimes and the brinksmanship and crises they've imposed on the world aren't enough for you?
This guy's a genius...not.
Not to mention the 2 million people who starved to death because of the North Korean regime's incompetence and the hundreds of thousands who suffer in their gulag...all these things don't make Eisenhower's decision to quit the war before the job was done look quite so wise now do they?
Who is advising Webb?
He has gone from a tempered, well-spoken candidate to screaming ninny.
Is this the new Democrat tactic courtesy of Howard Dean the Screamer?
Being stupid, screaming and angry doesn't win elections unless you are trying to repeat January 30, 1933.
"George Allen is running scared?" Sorry, Mr. Webb.
Jim Webb is a standard issue Democrat. Nothing more, nothing less. And as such, Mr. Webb will lose in November.
Richmond ping.
On a semi-related note, I saw my first Warner for President 2008 bumper sticker today. Ugh!
Yeah same way Zogby had Kerry winning in a landslide. More junk polling.
Yeah, look how far ahead in the polls he is.
Webb will lose this elections....but I still encourage my Freeper friends to get an ALLEN sticker on your bumper, now.....
I wish he would stop. I'm trying to get through "Born Fighting" but keep drifting off to the fact he's become a rather noisy liberal. Its making it very hard to concentrate.
urp...'scuse me
"Who is advising Webb?"
Hopefully the same folks who advised Kilgore ?
It sounds like he's making the same mistake(s) Kilgore made late in the campaign, and Webb's only getting started.
Jerry Kilgore ran a good campaign. Anyone who expected him to win in a runaway wasn't being objective. He made a fatal mistake with those ads and never recovered. But all this "terrible campaign" -- I see that with virtually every election where "our candidate" doesn't win.
note, I said "at the end" ... till then everything was going fine .. unfortunately, that's exactly when the voters are paying attention.
Okay, fair enough.
George Allen will retain his Senate seat. My vote will be his.
I believe Sen. Allen will win with a min. of 60% of the vote.
Initially yes. For several months he ran as the front runner he was. But his fatal mistake, more than just those idiotic ads was in never defining himself.
He never gave us a reason to vote ~for~ Jerry Kilgore. All he had were reasons to vote ~against~ Tim Kaine.
