Additionally, it is simply folly to leave out the war issues. The influential and activist Left is forcing the Dems farther and farther out of the mainstream, and the Dem elected leadership is determined to give them everything that they want. Reid, Pelosi, Murtha, Webb, Kennedy, and others have abandoned all caution and gone all anti-war, all the time. Pelosi, Murtha, et al. have pushed the envelope to the point where they are hanging by a thin thread. I believe a case can be made that Reid has gone farther and actually broken the thread. Many in the military, and their families and loved ones, have become more and more disenchanted with the way Bush has pursued the war. I believe the Dems in general, and Reid in particular, have brought these people back to the GOP. The Dems' anti-war radicalism is the gift that keeps on giving. Of course that presupposes that there are GOP candidates with enough backbone to take advantage of this gift.

p>Ms. Rubin notes how McCain and Mayor Rudy should receive increased support because of their brownie points on domestic and foreign security issues. I would opine that Fred Thompson should also benefit, as soon as he get in the race. I was convinced that the GOP's hopes, virtually across the board, were extremely bleak for 2008. The action of the Democrats now have me believing that the GOP should be able to retain the White House, and either switch control or narrow their minority status in both houses of Congress, if they don't screw it up. br> -- Ken Shreve br> New Hampshire /p>

Silver lining? Lets see now, we have Nancy Pelosi negotiating on her own with a terrorist state, we have Harry Reid saying the war is lost and we have Harry Reid and the boys and girls on the left holding up funding for our troops in harm's way.

p>Now I ask you, folks, which political party is the best friend of the terrorists and which political party is the domestic enemy of our troops at home and which political party is enabling the terrorists to fight on? And just where in the hell is the outrage on the Republican side of the equation and where in the hell is the public outrage? br> -- Jim L br> East Sandwich, Massachusetts /p> p> LOST CAUSE br> Re: Christopher Orlet's
