Rumsfeld was one of the main targets of the left during this election.

Not here in Ohio where we lost a GOP senator, but keep on dreaming...

You take him away, it shows a new direction and the right thing to do.

Keep echoing those MSM talking points boy...

If you think keeping him around had no effect on the elections, I disagree.

The GOP got it's ass kicked because it didn't have a coherent message until 2 weeks before the election to combat the lies the MSM was spreading. It got it's ass kicked because a lot of their members had gigantic albatross' around their necks from scandals. It lost because they had gotten cocky and forgot that when you lose power, you'll do anything to get it back.

Rumsfeld was a convienent scapegoat for the excuse makers. Yes that includes you.

Wasn't DeWine part of MCcain's pack of moderates? That's probably why he lost.

Learn to read, it helps the brain.

Yet so few hosts criticized the GOP.

You're right. Rummy launched an an incredible military operation. He listened to the generals and prepared for an insurgency. He was just a scapegoat. No blame goes to him.

Mostly it was the MSM who painted the WAR ( a really small side show as wars go ) as another Vietnam and covered up all the democrat sleeze for YEARS while focusing on the GOP sleeze
