Knock me over...with a feather

The words of the Blog-Queen...I had to read it twice to see if my eyes were failing me

A very striking finding in a recent poll on Democratic party activists in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Given a list of issues and asked to say which ones they cared about most, almost none said terrorism. In Iowa a full one percent said they wre concerned about terrorism - less than three years since 9/11. The base wanted a candidate with credibility on national security - but didn't seem to care about the issue as such. A combination of cynicism and amnesia. I'm not a Republican. But polls like these make me realize I'm even less of a Democrat.
I guess that the best way to explain it to our 'apolitical' (bwahahahahahaha) little Princess, is that in this Metaphorical War on Terra™, no sacrifice has been too great as long as it involves Tax Cuts; no master criminal or nasty head of state will remain uncaught as long as it's not too hard; unemployment will be allowed to remain stagnant or increase slightly; unless you're really wealthy, the economy is basically stinking a lot. Whew, your majesty, it's a good thing you're not a republican some of this might be your fault!

Attribution? I'm not as much of a Blog geek as reader. Sorry - can you post a link for the out-of-the-loopers like me to try to come up to speed? A link would be plenty awesome though.

Thnx

Someone should research how many times in the past where he's stated that he is a Republican.

Of course, that would be the poll results among democratic activists. That's not who democrats need to reach out to, though. That's why democrats have been getting toasted in recent elections. They're preaching to their choir, and not reaching out to the middle class. If they run against the War on Terror and for National Health Care, it's going to be 2002 all over again. A complete massacre at the voting booth and more gains by the GOP.

It's great to have compassion for the needy, but you have to strike some sort of compromise with the taxpayers who have to foot the bills.

He posted a while back about the Republican Party being the natural home for gays, which is as close as he's ever gotten on that score, but seems to have deleted it sometime since.

Without telling anyone, as usual.

Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina

well of course they're not concerned about terrorism. try asking that question in Manhattan or Washinton DC.

oh yeah, shame Plame's network was compormised. Becausue if bin Forgotten ever does get his hands on weapons grade anthrax, WE'LL NEVER KNOW.

If there is a terrorist attack on DC involving bio or chemical weapons, I hope Novak's last thoughts in this world are about his relationship with his source.
