MWO - Democratic Voters Want Complexity

Dem Voters Want Resolution-Supporters, Bush Critics

Not Buying Media Script, Recognizing Complexity


A new poll shows a majority of Democratic voters in three early primary states saying they prefer a candidate who originally supported action in Iraq, but who has since criticized Bush's disastrously incompetent handling of the issue.

As we have said many times, it is a Rovian/media whore lie to present an Iraq position like Senator John Kerry's as inconsistent. Those who level that charge, including other Democrats, do so dishonestly, as they fully understand there is no inconsistency in Kerry's Iraq record. Cheap claims otherwise are made in the hope that a segment of Moron-Americans will be convinced. (Claims that Democrats could have defeated the Iraq resolution in 2002 are equally mendacious, as is the claim that Democrats could have avoided losses in that election had Senator Kerry and others taken a stronger stand against an Iraq invasion.)

The fact is, the views of most Americans have evolved significantly on the issue in terms of support for the war, and how the Unelected Fraud handled it. A vast majority, including significant numbers of Democrats, gave the Bush Regime the benefit of the doubt on Iraq, but eventually began to recognize later the "war" was based on lies and deceit, and had been badly mishandled to the detriment of American status and security.

Regardless of how aggressively the media whores attempt to sell the myth of support for action in Iraq later followed by criticism of the White House Squatter as a Democratic "liability" - especially for the Democratic primaries - the majority of Americans at large and Democrats will not only continue to understand that position, but, as the poll shows, support it above others.

1. Dean has done too well from the beginning for me to believe this!
He's not the frontrunner for following this silly poll. Interesting and encouraging how much opposition Dean is getting! Go Dean! And you too Clark!

A Dean/Clark ticket is just the ticket.

2. I agree - and I'm glad to see most folks agree - but I doubt media whores
will change their script.

Tim Russert has had a great time saying each Dems position on something was either a lie, or a reversal, or demonstrates bad character.

That SOB will be on his knees earning his money from GE by spinning the GOP right wing points to the day he dies.

And now GE has pulled the strings on Tweety, and he has gone nuts with story and guest selection and trying to be more right wing than Rush - and I once liked Matthews.

:-)
