We've seen in the past that part of the Republican play book is distraction--getting the press and their opponents to talk about something other than what we need to be talking about. So where are the current distractions?

I haven't seen this anywhere yet but I think it is possible that the lefty calls for Rummy to resign kept the POTUS from kicking him to the curb early.

He is after all a child that likes to give the impression that he does things on his own terms. The calls for resignation built to such a tenor that even Loserman echoed it and eventually a statement of faith in Rummy was issued.

It wouldn't be unheard of for the Dem leadership to have gotten wind that Rummy was to see bus rubber. They certainly knew calling for his resignation was value added, but did they figure the child POTUS would refuse if they demanded the resignation? Was there a concerted effort?

As I see it there is a bit more to the NSA snooping story than has been written so far. The missing link is not that far behind us. Read More

Are we missing an important battle?

Lately there have been several stories on the MSM about this administration paying for positive news. The stories seem to be a flat recitation of facts... no passion... no context. Either because the news media is mostly driven by conservative bosses, or because oppo leaders have yet to press the battle, we seem to have no voice on the left pressing the issue of how the entire MSM is being used as a cheap propaganda machine.

Are we afraid of pissing off the MSM and not getting much positive press as a result?

You seldom win the war if you don't define the battle. You never win it if you keep counsel only of your fears.
