Karl Rove has in the past good instincts about what plays well. Is that still true?
If you are a conservative who favors preemptive action and you see some Iraq war tactical mistakes as unfortunate but not foreseeable, but acknowledge that the news about Iraq sectarian violence is grim, do you think it would it be smarter politically to focus on good economic news -- job reports, stock market gains, or corporate profits?
Could all the focus on the war backfire?

He has nothing else to talk about. They are hoping keeping the fear factor high will keep the republicans in power. I may work. Iraq has been a chaotic disaster. The war on terror has been as about as effective as the war on drugs. The economy is good but old news and really wasn't dependent on the white house doing much of anything. No one wants to mention the obscene corporate profits.
I am a republican, but Bush and his cronies do not reflect my politics.

The Bush economy is based totally on the war. Just look at the dow chart and you'll see it's rise from the bottom coincides exactly with his invasion into Iraq in March 2003. How can he brag about that?
Is that what being a "war president" is all about?
If he pulled out of Iraq, the market would tank and he would lose the support of his base.
Remember his base, "the have's and the have more's"?
Yeah, the iraq war is his issue and the republican issue.

Oh dear murphy, in suggesting so, aren't you in effect asking Bush to become a super liar! It seems he already has enough on the plate which he is struggling to swallow and digest!

It worked in 2002 and 2004, so they will try it again in 2006. Just ask Max Cleland.

obviously he thinks it is and the funny part is they admit it is lies.
Not a word of truth in it. How does that help him?
A Republican plunked down 40 million dollars to make it so gee I wonder what it is about?
