Slam dunk! People may not "like" the war (who ever does?) but most of them didn't vote in 2006 for "losing in Iraq" by "redeploying". That's what Dems' leadership are delusional about because they are driven by nuts in their very liberal districts and netroots/rootnuts.
Their margins are razor-thin, especially in the Senate. Attack "blue dogs", accuse them of broken promises and sellout for pork (pork could be gotten from other bills), and if it goes on a little longer - start shutting down and "relocating" the bases in strategic "blue" and "blue dogs" districts (like National Parks closures by Clinton, only much more biting). It will be over in no time... Dems didn't have any successes, no popular bills passed, no programs annunciated, so they don't have any goodwill accumulated - their approval last month dropped 9 points to low 20's - no better than last GOP Congress. Yet the first fight they are trying to pick is about sneaking a "losing" bill in the guise of "support for the troops" in the face of a veto threat?
Dumb and dumber. Bring it on!!
So what?! It's all about perception. The DBM/dems win the PR battle almost every time because Repubs NEVER have the guts to stand up and fight all the way through for what they KNOW is right. If the President Veto's this crap, ALL the Repubs better stand behind him 1000% as a party, or not only does he lose the PR battle, but repubs lose in '08.
...and deservedly so.
