Dems just missed another chance to get McCain! They HAVE to be more forceful!

[glarius]

MSNBC just asked former Dem.Rep.Tim Roemer why Obama just doesn't admit he was wrong about the surge not working. Roemer had a long winded reply, which was very well said... BUT....as usual the Democrats have missed a chance to knock that question down with a better counter question?.....Why didn't Roemer say...."Why doesn't McCain admit he was WRONG about being for the Iraq war from the beginning?"

1. Maybe because it is better to answer

questions rather than evading them?

[glarius]

2. He DID answer the question....I'm saying he had a BETTER

question he could have put forth, after he answered it...re McCain not admitting he was wrong about going to war against Iraq.

6. rarely true in Gotcha Media World

The corporate media are not having a polite and informed discourse on the issues of the day. They are instead playing !GOTCHA! a game mastered by the late Tim Russert. This game has nothing to do with polite and informed discourse, a fact that eludes many Democrats.

3. I think they should mention Obama's judgment re NOT going to war every chance they get.

4. I agree.........they are missing chances to make good points!

5. They've got to kill the meme that the "surge" worked.

It was meant to:

A) Reduce violence

B) Give the Iraqis the breathing space they needed to develop a political resolution to their conflict

and C) Eventually allow US troop levels to decrease


It has achieved NONE of those goals.

7. Again McCain's man on MSNBC is pushing the Barack is wrong about the surge

line. The anchor woman finally said...."don't you think McCain should admit he was wrong about starting the Iraq war?".....THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPEATED OVER AND OVER BY EVERT DEM SPOKESPERSON!!!
