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

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?"

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.

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.
