DEMS' HUGE GIFT TO W.

New York Post ^ | 9/12/02 | DICK MORRIS

[kattracks]

ASKING President Bush to explain his Iraq policy was the Democrats' first real political mistake since 9/11 - and it was a huge one.

Since the terror attacks, the Democrats had played their political hand brilliantly. Instead of routinely challenging every administration action, they embraced his anti-terror initiatives, his attack on Afghanistan and his domestic rearrangement of the U.S. government.

Think about that for a moment … We are going to war and shed blood so that the president can have a “better issue” on which to campaign?

This represents truly one-dimensional thinking. Isn't it possible that the best thing for America COINCIDES with the best thing for the Republican Party?

Think about that for a moment ? We are going to war and shed blood so that the president can have a ?better issue? on which to campaign?

No, we are going to war because the UN hasn't done their job of enforcing the resolutions imposed on Iraq. The fact that this may give the president a 'better issue', on which to campaign, is just a bonus.

I just want to say that I think that the average educated Brit has a much better command of the "Queens Engligh" than the average educated American. I admire those who can use the language as a weapon - either to slice and dice, or just to bludgeon someone with. Keep up the good work.

He never believed Hildebeast would be elected in NY. Other than that he's spot on I guess.

[GraniteStateConservative]

his delivery and words were done bvery well. In fact, he blew W. away in speech-making, I thought.

That's just the Anglophile in us all.

[GraniteStateConservative]

It's not only possible, it's the truth. A good economy is good for both; a strong stock market is good for both; fewer unwed births is good for both; more married families is good for both; regime change in nations that harbor terrorists or otherwise seek to do us harm is good for both. It is in the Democrap's best interest as a Party to have the country go down the toilet.

Looks like BIMBO is a hit-and-run poster/disrupter

[bimbo]

Is that what you think? That we're going to war for an election issue?

Not me. I was only responding to the statement that said "Iraq was the ideal campaign issue for Bush."

[bimbo]

Get it?

No. If Bush uses the Iraq War issue to "freeze out" discussion of other campaign issues important to Americans like Immigration, then he's behaving like Clinton who used the Serbian bombing to "freeze out" discussions of sexgate.

"Think about that for a moment … We are going to war and shed blood so that the president can have a “better issue” on which to campaign?"

It's what a Democrat would do.

In Democrat politics, there are two overwhelming motivations for waging war:

1. An impending impeachment.

2. An accusation of rape.

It does not occur to them that one might go to war in self-defense...

[bimbo]

Isn't it possible that the best thing for America COINCIDES with the best thing for the Republican Party?

I suppose so. In a like manner: wasn't it possible that Clinton's bombing of Serbia coincided with the best thing for America and the Democrat Party? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dick Morris is a pollster. That is the prism through which he sees and analyzes things. In other words, consider the source. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the President's motives. President Bush doesn't want 9-11 x five.

[NovemberCharlie]

In a like manner: wasn't it possible that Clinton's bombing of Serbia coincided with the best thing for America and the Democrat Party?

Possible, yes, but I still can't see how America got anything good out of bombing Serbia.

When he's not sucking on some whore's toes, he writes a good article.

Bush has played Rope a Dope on the Dems....not bad for a guy too stoopid to be Prezident.

[Ann Archy]

Sadly, Democrat Granny will DEMAND her free drugs and so what if people are killed....she only goes to the doctor and an early bird special, and she's old and ready to die anyway, but she wants her free drugs!

[Ann Archy]

Bimbo, bimbo, bimbo....toesucker is just opining that Bush is stronger on PROTECTING us than Demcrats. Geesh...read it again if you don't get it.

The idea of the Labour Party helping the Republicans is truly bizarre to me

Why should Blair give a rip about American Dems?

But anyway, let the "debate" continue!

[edsheppa]

he has signed every bill they've [Democrat Senate] passed, after all.

Weren't these bills also passed by a Republican House?

[edsheppa]

but I still can't see how America got anything good out of bombing Serbia.

Having a troublemaker like Milosevic in power in such a volatile region is certainly not in America's best interest.
