[Question Liberal Authority]

The GOP should just SHUT UP......and let this thing take its own course.

The ONLY REASON the GOP is IN any kind of mess is that they ALWAYS let these things "take their own course". The FOLEY thing "took its own course". The VALERIE PLAME kerfuffel "took its own course". ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION "took its own course". STEM CELL RESEARCH "took its own course".

Letting this "take its own course" means allowing JAMES CARVILLE and HOWARD DEAN to set the agenda. NUH UH. Not this time. Not this issue. The dems are DEAD on this issue, if the Republicans give it even a little effort. They're holding a sharp stake right over Vlad The Impaler's heart in one hand and an 8 pound sledgehammer in the other. There's not ONE GOOD REASON to refrain from taking a swing.

I agree--the call in itself makes news, and when few or none of the Dems respond, the Republicans can bring it up again.

I agree. The GOP needs to pound this for at least another news cycle. They need to force all the Dem candidates in contested races to state their position.

Individual Freepers should also be burning up the phone lines to their Dem candidate up for election, asking them to take a stand against Kerry. Like another Freeper said, this puts the Dems between a rock and a hard place. If they stand up for the troops, they lose the moonbat vote. If they don't, they lose the moderate Dem vote. Split the Dem vote and you've got a perfect recipe for the Pubbie to win.

Agreed. Stay on offense, b/c the MSM will deliberately try to bury the story - their effort is well underway.

BTW, I heard that Kerry just released another asinine "non-apology" -- can anyone confirm?
