Aaron Brown and Jeff Greenfield saying Iraq is THE issue

[Swede]

in this years election for swing voters. If you feel we are safer you will vote Bush,if you think it's a mess you'll vote Kerry.
Well I would say it should be a slam dunk for Kerry. If you don't see Iraq as a quagmire you ain't paying attention.

1. It's not about the cbs documents then?

Nice of them to come around.

2. If you don't see Iraq as a quagmire.....

then you must be watching FOX!

[Swede]

3. Yeah I should edit that your paying attention to Fox.

You hit the bull's eye.

[AlCzervik]

4. you should make a bumper sticker out of that.

5. No kidding.

I haven't talked to ONE person who thinks things are going "swimmingly" in Iraq or we are safer. All of them think Iraq is a disaster. Say hello, President Kerry.

6. The sad thing is....

I think a lot of people are NOT paying attention ... at least to honest sources -- they hear spin babble and brief reports on how tough things are so it ends up being a wash and they can live with it. That's the problem. :(

7. I really thought they could've controlled that place by now

assuming Bushco was competent and not hated by all nations including his own. He's a very evil man.

8. There was one good point

that was made (and I rarely if ever say a good point was made on CNN).

It was what Kerry laid out the other day - Iraq never should have been the centerpiece of the "war on terror". It was a diversion. If people are convinced of this, Kerry wins.

Otherwise, we're fucked.

9. The media wants Iraq to be the issue. Laid off workers, people who see

their wages stagnating or dropping, people whose lives suck because of Bush should be insulted by CNN.

10. LOL...the latest NBC poll had the ECONOMY as the number one issue 28%

greater than terror at 23%


so I guess the media is either mis-informed, ignorant or spinning ?

11. My next door neighbor who just lost a $20.00 an hour job...

thinks it's the economy and so will his kids about Christmas morning! But then Hell, what does an x GOPer and his family know?

[cthrumatrix]

12. media's job is to "hide the real issues" from the voters....

shrubya can't get elected with the economy and healthcare as issues...

The media has made terror the issue...

BTW.... how is Iraq considered terror? We invaded Iraq with NO connections to Al Quaeda.

We don't have a sniff who is really fighting us... media tell us terrorists... why can't it be people who don't want the US as "occupiers" and a US govt?
