The Latest Repug Talking Point Links Iraq To The Election

Despite all the bravado from Karl Rove and Ken Mehlman, you can tell the Republicans are running scared about the possibility they could loose the reigns of power in Congress. Just take a look at the latest attempt at manipulation of the American people. From King George's speech at Georgia Southern University: President Bush claimed that "the Democrat (sic) approach in Iraq comes down to this: the terrorists win and America loses." While "the Democrat (sic) goal is to get out of Iraq," Bush told the crowd of supporters that "the Republican goal is to win in Iraq." Of course he quickly tried to avoid criticism of his words by saying he didn't mean that "these Democrats are unpatriotic," just that "they're wrong." Sure George. If that's the case then why is your Vice President Darth Vader Cheney In an interview on Faux News claim the latest onslaught of insurgent attacks in Iraq are meant to influence the upcoming midterm election? CAVUTO: Do you suspect that these insurgent attacks are timed to influence our midterm elections? VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY: That's my belief. I think they are, very, very cognizant of our schedule, if you will. They also -- you've got to remember what the strategy is of the terrorists. They specifically can't beat us in a stand-up fight. They never have. But whether it's al Qaeda or the other elements that are active in Iraq, they are betting on the proposition they can break the will of the American people. They think we won't have the stomach for the fight long-term. Osama bin Laden says as much. He talks about this. *** CAVUTO: Do you think, though, that the insurgents are better at these polls than even we are, that they are reading them and seeing frustration growing with the war, and regardless of the good economy, saying, let's keep up the attacks, let's keep up the pressure? CHENEY: It's my belief that they're very sensitive of the fact that we've got an election scheduled, and they can get on the websites like anybody else. So there you have it my friends. Once again nothing is their fault. Those damn Democrats just want to cut and run, and the insurgents are influencing the election to help them. Even though this is utter hogwash, you can rest assured every Republican and their supporters like Oxycontin Limbaugh and the talking heads on Faux will be pounding that meme out to us for the next 8 days.
