"Today's Wall Street Journal has a long front page article which is easily the most comprehensive and in-depth look I've seen at the erosion of the GOP's traditional advantage on national security. From the piece: "A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll in June, buttressed by other polls since, suggested Democrats have gained significant ground. It gave them a three-point advantage on the question of which party can best deal with Iraq, erasing Republicans' 30-point edge of October 2002. Democrats had a nine-point edge on handling foreign policy, a swing from Republicans' 18-point advantage in June 2002." Much more good stuff after the jump."

2. It was all vapor anyway

or more precisely... hot air.

Repukes suck when it comes to security.
The only thing they do really well is
stuff their pockets with funding.

3. Worthy read--note this:

Republicans' edge on the question of dealing with terrorism has been slipping for four years, according to Journal/NBC polls -- from a 36-point advantage over Democrats in October 2002, to 18 points in December 2004, to six points in June...

:kick: and R!

4. And it wasn't the DLC that turned this around.

It was those 'terrible left-wing Democrats' who dared challenge the war, joined by Iraq-War veterans who decided to run as Democrats, and helped by panicking GOP politicians who've now come out against the war.
