MSM/Rs Working Like Crazy To Make "Surge" A Dem Problem
All day long, it's been "but what are the Democrats offering as a plan? Will the try to stop the surge?"

This the day after Ted Kennedy announced that he would, indeed, offer a bill that would put Congress in charge
of reviewing any bush plan and that the Dems would not approve a single dollar to expand bush's war.

This the day after the Ds voted 100% to implement the 9/11 Commission recommendations.

This after numerous Dems have come forward in opposition to bush's plan.

What we have is the MSM dredging up the old RW canard that "the Ds have no plan." Implicit in that lie is the
idea that a BAD plan is better than no plan at all! It's what I call the "Thelma & Louise Gambit" - we may be
going over a cliff to our doom, but AT LEAST it's a plan!!!

Of course, the most-obvious angle of this MSM meme is that they're trying to get the Dems to go out on a limb
BEFORE Coke Boy gives his speechification tonight so they can then bash Dems for a variety of reasons.

Shouldn't these people get real jobs?

1. I can't remember when the Democrats last had a "plan"
that the RepubliCons supported. That's not to say the Dems haven't offered plans. It's just a fact that the Cons always respond with "No" then follow-up with, "So, what's your plan?"

2. As was pointed out in another post-Here is the point of all this
W proposes the surge-IF the Dems support it they are just going along with him and when it fails they go down with him IF thd Dems are against it they are cowards who want us to lose (we already have) and its all their fault.

3. I wish someone would stand up and answer the "no plan" meme.
Here's our plan, all the troops out and home in 12 months or less and the Bush cabal removed from power and charged with treason and war crimes.
