In case you hadn't heard
By Creature
In case you hadn't heard the GOP spin machine is working overtime right now. Victories and good news abound, and there is nary a Republican without a microphone in hand. Rejoice, America, the days of negativity are over and it's time to crow. Can someone pass the talking points? Please.
In case you hadn't heard the Iraq war is once again going swimmingly.
(civil war)
In case you hadn't heard there will be no more Iraq excuses.
(no real plan)
In case you hadn't heard the Democrats are cutting and running.
(troops as lightening rod, get them the fuck out)
In case you hadn't heard Karl Rove is owed an apology.
(guilty)
In case you hadn't heard the culture-of-corruption argument is dead.
(Cunningham does not equal Reid)
In case you hadn't heard George Bush is a very brave man.
(chicken-hawk)
In case you hadn't heard the over-there-not-over-here line is alive and well.
(dishonest rhetoric)
In case you hadn't heard we killed ourselves a terrorist last week.
(Osama?)
I promise I'll party with the GOP* when the situation on the ground in Iraq (and America) actually changes. Until then, I'll wait and see. Political theater is so much fun.
BONUS SPIN: Karl Rove venom (he's back on his game, you know):
Those words are why any Democrat who backed the war will have no credibility in November (or in '08 for that matter).
(Oh, and, Ken Mehlman is an ass. Note: This is just a general statement of opinion, I don't have any links to back up Mehlman's assiness.)
(Oh, oh, and, can't the Democrats find anyone other than Joe Biden to speak for them? The guy is everywhere on the TV.)
*I will never party with the GOP

"Like too many Democrats it strikes me they [Mutha and Kerry] are ready to give the green light to go to war, but when it gets tough, they fall back of that party's old platform of cutting and running. They may be with you for the first few bullets but they won't be there for the last tough battles," he said.

I'm sorry, this is too silly.
For one, you're confusing civil war -- in which the government is under siege -- with sectarian violence. That violence is bad, but it is not civil war.
Do you KNOW that Rove is guilty? I think not.
The "chickenhawk" argument is not just ad hominem, it's also unfair. Since when is there a clause in the Constitution requiring military service to be president? I never heard "chickenhawk" once when Clinton was president.
And treating the killing of Zarqawi as pointless because Osama is still at large?
Sure, I bet conservatives are going overboard with their enthusiasm. But your snotty reaction is just as bad.

One man's snot is another man's spin.

When the right starts playing fair, I'll maybe consider getting along, but until then there is no room for moderation.
Cosmo, see you at SotD!

Gotta love Rove talking about bullets and war slamming Murtha and Kerry. Turd Blossom ahd college deferments during Vietnam, yet never recieved a degree. The man knows nothing about bullets and the war experience. he shoots shit at his enemies. I love how Bush and company have brought integrity to the Whitehouse (depends on the meaning of is ).

and here I wandered into this corner to compliment Creature's assertions, humour, and use of the word "assiness" - go figure.
I know you don't know me (but I am real, MJWS can confirm that - he is an old friend of mine), but I think you are my political soulmate. Preach on, brother Creature! Without a doubt, the one thing that keeps the GOP in office is their mighty mighty talking-points machine. Does anyone here recall Aldous Huxley's comment that "sixty two thousand four hundred repetitions make one truth"????
I'm staying in your corner,
