This thwacking rhetorical line drive to left-center brought to you by Bryan Lentz, former Marine JAG in Iraq, now running for Congress in Pennsylvania as
one of six Iraq-war veterans preparing to run in the 2006 elections. Five are Democrats.
"I'm not anti-war, I'm anti-failure." Learn it. Use it. Even if you ARE anti-war, use it - just as you might use "I don't hate Republicans, I just hate corrupt politicians," even if you do hate Republicans.
Lentz is taking on Curt Weldon, vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. Seems like a bit of a long shot, but who knows?
