Funny article. Interesting enough..... Mr. Clinton said in a speech Tuesday to the Democratic Leadership Council that the Democratic Party lost the midterm elections because its candidates could not convince voters they could handle national security, and that the party was perceived as weak in the face of terrorism.

Clinton is exactly right. When he ran for president it was "the economy stupid". But it isn't anymore. It's "the War stupid". The rats either haven't figured that out... or think they can change the emphasis to economy or soical issues. But they can't. It will "the war stupid" for at least 2 more years.

"Mr. Clinton said in a speech Tuesday to the Democratic Leadership Council that the Democratic Party lost the midterm elections because its candidates could not convince voters they could handle national security, and that the party was perceived as weak in the face of terrorism."

Clinton is exactly right.

No, not "exactly" right. It's not that the Democrats are perceived as "weak" in the face of terrorism, it's that they're perceived as terrorist sympathizers, and aiders and abetters of terrorists, which is a different thing entirely from merely being "weak" fighters against terrorism.

There's a vast difference between being an ineffectual general, versus engaging in behavior that borders on treason and selling out -- or at least pre-emptively surrendering -- to the enemy.
