Another day, and yet another example of why I'm 100% right that the strategy DEMs should be taking is unifying behind passing David Obey's WarTax. Today's "Iraq Victory" message shows the ultimate flaw in pushing for a pullout....you just might get it!
Like it or not, DEMs will never control the message for why a pullout is taking place when it does. GOPs can always dip their fingers in ink again and declare victory calling DEMs defeatists. The only way to stop this is to make the key question "when will this war be paid for" not "when will it end". If you focus on how it's paid for and demand a wartax, GOPs can't just have a victory retreat to escape accountability. They will still have to either support a WarTax or propose another revenue source. However, any DEM like me who proposes the WarTax gets accused of being a Bush sympathizer.
