GOP Sinking on Lieberman Talking Points
Bush is at 33% in a new Newsweek poll. And aside from the Foley/Hastert mess, it's the Lieberman talking points on on the war that are bringing them down:
Sen. Lieberman is completely out to lunch on the major issues that are driving this election nationwide. Period.
He's part of the problem.
- Americans think Speaker Hastert should resign, 43%-37%. Sen. Lieberman still doesn't, and blames Democrats for igniting a "partisan frenzy."
- Americans now trust Democrats more on every single issue, including Iraq (47%-34%) and terrorism (44%-37%). Sen. Lieberman still doesn't, and calls mainstream Democrats who want to change course in Iraq the "anti-security" wing of the party.
- For the first time, a majority of Americans think the Administration knowingly misled the nation into war in Iraq, 58%-36%. Sen. Lieberman still doesn't, and scolds voters for impugning the "motives" of the Administration.
- Perhaps most significanlty, a huge majority of Americans now agree with the NIE that the war in Iraq has made us less safe from terrorism, 66%-29%. Sen. Lieberman still doesn't, and says the leak of the NIE was "a shame" and that it didn't change his strongly held (wrong) view that we are making progress in Iraq.
Sen. Lieberman is completely out to lunch on the major issues that are driving this election nationwide. Period.

There are Republicans who voted for Rowland three times and voted for Bush twice and say they are appalled at what they got.
And if you ask them if they'd vote the same way now, they can't answer.
They will tell you who they would vote against however.
It's all blame and victim voting, and the big excuse. Appeal to their victimhood and give them someone to blame and you've got their vote. They excuse it by saying the choice wasn't any better. Some of your current Republican Party supporters are a lot like the guy who goes to AA meetings who says he doesn't have a drinking problem.
