THREE HOURS of news...CNN HLN ABC...Not ONE mention of Iraq!

[youthere]

I heard about the cat that can predict death, the drunken astronauts, yesterday's 300 point drop in the DOW. I heard about the "sexiest people on Capitol Hill", and saw the video about the hydroplaning truck that overturned. I heard all about the sniping between Obama and Hilary. I even heard a bit about Gonzales and I learned how to identify poison ivy,oak and sumac...but not ONCE did I hear one WORD about the WAR IN IRAQ!

:wtf:

I repeat:

2. maybe this exlains it?

I posted this yesterday.

Snip: Few people know as much about what is going on in Washington as Norquist. The White House and members of Congress trust him with their secrets. As outlined in the NewsMax article Washington's Big Secret, Norquist's Wednesday morning meetings of conservatives draw presidential candidates, key members of Congress, and White House aides like Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie.


snip: "The Democrats are overreaching on taxes, on spending, and general left-wing impulses," Norquist says. "Just as back then, there was the Hush-Rush Bill," referring to Rush Limbaugh. "Now there's the Fairness Doctrine. It's the same thing. As back then, the Democrats are raising gun control as an issue."

snip: Today, Norquist says, "You have an unease among a lot of non-political people, but the real cost of Iraq is not even so much that unease as the drowning out of other issues. We can't run against the Democrats — calling them the party that wants to raise taxes — if the president can only talk about Iraq."

snip:

"Now the White House says they're going to be tough on vetoing," Norquist says. "So we could, in the next 12 months, have this huge fight on taxes and spending and regulations and labor union changes, driven by the White House, which could save the White House for the Republicans and bring at least the House back to Republican control. That is entirely possible. But Iraq needs to be in the rear view mirror, not in the windshield. And the president needs to be able to credibly talk about these other issues."

8. I think this one is going to be so overwhelming they can't "magic" their way out of it...

I was talking to my stepdad who is a hardcore repuke (card carrying catholic and NRA member) who has been a "ra-ra Bush" man since my mother met him (and still she married him...ick). Anyway, I was visiting with him yesterday and he says he isn't voting for the first time this election because he is so disgusted with the party.I asked him if there wasn't a candidate from another party that he might support and he said he kind of liked CHRIS DODD!

Now I say if this admin and this war is so totally f-ed up that it's got lifelong repukes like my stepdad actually considering DEMOCRATS..they've got a serious problem come Nov '08. I don't think the fallout from this one can be hidden in the magic machines.
