Best sense of the day.
By Josh Marshall, of TPM:

(June 22, 2006 -- 04:30 PM EST // link)
I'm a bit confused. I'm hearing a lot of reports about Republicans chanting about staying in Iraq forever, the danger of ever withdrawing our troops. There's Cheney. There's Frist. I can't say I've done a systematic scan of all media. I'm just saying what I've happened across during a day of work. And I'm not seeing any Dems. Not hearing any clear message.

What Republicans want is More of the Same.

That's the motto. More of the Same.

The president says he wants to stay in Iraq for at least three more years. Virtually every Republican agrees. Three more years. They approve the course the president has set.

They're for More of the Same. They don't have a plan. They just want to stay indefinitely.

They're just for More of the Same.

I must say it drives me to distraction that Democrats aren't saying this more clearly. Get on TV. Get on the radio. Why cede all the ground to the likes of Dick Cheney?

1. The GOP message to their base
MORE KIDS MUST BE SLAUGHTERED IN THE DESERT TOMORROW TO ENSURE THAT THOSE SLAUGHTERED IN THE DESERT YESTERDAY WEREN'T SLAUGHTERED IN VAIN.

That is the gop plan and it is wholeheartedly supported by their base.

5. I have heard Dems saying this
On the radio and on the tv. Maybe Josh ought to get his nose out of the dark place he's stuck it. Frankly, I'm sick of people saying that Dems don't have anything to say. And when they do "say", people are elsewhere or disagree with them.

6. "More of the same, stay and pay" would make a good chant
iraq occupation vs iraq war needs to be pushed forward also.
