Wall Street Journal: GOP losing advantage over national security
RAW STORY
An article in today's Wall Street Journal asserts that Republicans are
losing their political advantage on issues of national security.
Based on poll data, Congressional race analyses, and a breakdown of
recent speeches by prominent Republicans including President Bush,
writer Jackie Calmes argues that the GOP monopoly on national security
is in a palpable state of decline.
Among additional factors weakening the Republican platform this
election year, Calmes writes, are unrest in Iraq, corruption,
outlandish federal spending, and a growing distate for incumbents.
Excerpts from the registration-restricted article follow.
#
In both national elections since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks, President Bush and congressional Republicans successfully
played the national-security card to win big victories against the
odds.
Now, with their party's control of Congress at stake, Republicans are
betting on the issue again.
But it may not be the trump card it used to be.
The public's patience has frayed as the Iraq war grows bloodier in its
fourth year, eroding confidence in Mr. Bush's stewardship of national
security.
Mismanagement of the response to Hurricane Katrina contributed.
Democrats, having ceded the security issue to Republicans in the past,
now are on the offensive.
They're attacking the administration's competence at home and abroad
and fielding candidates with military experience.

Wall Street Journal: GOP losing advantage over national security
Republicans lost their claim to national security superiority the very
minute they put business interests ahead of real and valid security - which
was a LONG time ago.

I'm sure Mark was actually satirizing the "liberal media" ploy of the
rightnuts by calling their Bush-kissing WSJ "leftist."

Each election cycle brings more dire warnings from the GOP about the
terr'ists than the preceding. Voters can only see that as a
Republican admission of failure.
