Democratic Candidates, The GOP will Run on Withdrawal Plan
The Democratic Candidates had better get a position that is clear and to the point regarding the war in Iraq.
Today Tim Russert,MSNBC stated unequivocally that once the Primaries are over and each party has chosen their candidates --- Both Parties will run on a plan to remove troops from Iraq. The GOP will have completely distanced themselves from Bush.
This is third time I have heard this warning.
Last Debate--Caution ruled in Democratic Debates. The TOP TIER all agreed to keep troops there until 2013. Fox analysis of this--gives Bush his legacy.
As long as we permit GOP to set Parameters GOP WINS.
No matter how you feel about Buchanan, he understands the American people. His analysis and I have to agree with him somewhat--not entirely. He believes there is a very good chance for the GOP to win the WH and Lose in House and Senate.
I put this out because I think our candidates collectively and individually consider what happens once the GOP decides to essentially end the war. Our party has been dancing on eggs.
1. Yep--I have heard that the R's will run to the right until the primaries on the war, and
then the nominees (House, Senate, and Prez) will likely come out with some version of "we're leaving"--why lose to the Dems on this issue? However, that would be an excellent time for the Dems to charge poor judgment and flip-floppery.
3. Yup, it worked for Nixon. And if the GOP nominee is one of the current top three, he can claim
to be a real Washington outsider. If HRC is our nominee, he will be insane not to make her vote for the IRW and her lack of a clear "I will get the troops out tomorrow" statement the centerpiece of his withdrawal plan....
