Something You'll Never Hear

"So Republicans are running in 2006 on the same tired policies of the past. They didn't work then and they're not going to work now. We need to move ahead instead of clinging to the failed policies of a bygone age."

Democrats get tarred with this brush over and over again, but Republicans do the exact same thing. Just like 2002 and 2004, they're going to say "we'll protect you" and "Dems love terrorists" and expect you to buy it all over again. This despite the fact that Osama and his top lieutenants are still at large and openly laughing at us; despite the fact that the Department of Homeland Security got failing grades for protecting the nation's ports, chemical facilities, airports, and borders; despite the fact that Iraq is in the same sorry shape it was nearly three years ago, and that it's now a training ground for international terrorism.

And if the Democrats do the same "clam up" strategy on national security, guess what? It'll work.

Please, somebody in the DNC offices, listen to your constituents: you can run on security as much as they can. Don't be afraid of your own shadow.
