Yet again, Democrats, in their never-ending quest to avoid looking "weak," engage in the precise behavior that guarantees that perception

    Strategy?

    The strategy is, of course, to take away the accusation that Democrats are "weak" on terrorism by being able to point to the fact that they supported every security initiative that President Bush put forward.

    Of course, the Conservative media, led by FoxNews, will STILL declare that Democrats are soft on terrorism. And, given the fact that our mainstream media takes 100% of their talking points from FoxNews, it will work.

    It would serve the Democratic Party right if America wound up with a President McCain and a RepublicanCongress in 2009. Just America the country would be irrepairably damaged.
