"Cut and run" did great damage to the antiwar crowd. What we need now is people (pundits) and others to portray the President as beleaguered by a host of "Bush Haters" who would destroy the country to fulfill their anger lust.
Deep in the recesses of crowd psychology is the desire to see your leader prevail and especially against unfair attacks or fortune. We expect that and appreciate it, but it has to be highlighted by the movers and shakers.
Regardless of what people thought or think about President Clinton his poll numbers went up with impeachment. People intuitively, and perhaps even reluctantly, respected his ability to function in spite of the charges against him. Freepers missed this as did I but the poll numbers told the story.
We have a Lancelot and he is taking on all comers. Time to rejoice in that.
The question is whether the attacks are true and justified or simply motivated by partisan zeal.
Clearly, the attacks on Bush are the latter, and we have as exhibit A the Plamegate fiasco, which has flamed out as a put-up job. Not only was the real source Armitage, but both the State Dept and Fitzgerald investigators knew that early on, and chose to let Rove et al twist in the wind. The liberals meanwhile accused the White House of a nefarious plot that never happened.
I am sure Howard Dean mouthed off more than once about how Rove should be fired, put in jail, etc etc...
Time to sharpen the pens and counter-attack:
Democrats lied while our soldiers died.

America's cut & run from Vietnam long ago brought us:

America's 2nd cut & run would now bring what to Iraq, Afghanistan & US, I wonder..?

There was nothing intuitive about the Impeached Rapist's poll numbers going up. It was an all-out Dem and media assault against the truth, Ken Starr and the GOP.
