Poll: Dems Beating The GOP On National Security!
By Eric Kleefeld

Is the GOP in danger of permanently losing its onetime advangage on a core electoral issue? A new poll finds that Democrats are more trusted than Republicans to handle the generic issue of "national security" — suggesting that the Iraq War has wiped out the Republican Party's edge in this area. The new Rasmussen poll asked respondents: "Which political party do you trust more to handle national security?" Forty-six percent of respondents chose the Democrats, while only 44% picked the Republicans. This isn't a single outlier, either: Rasmussen has repeatedly put the Democrats with an advantage on the issue since the Fall elections. If other pollsters confirm Rasmussen's findings, how much longer will it take before the pundits stop reflexively spouting the "Dems = Weak, GOP = Strong" narrative?

Both will be weak until AIPAC is reformed.

Reformed?

I'd much rather have them removed, along with the neo's.



Gimme a Legally recognized group to represent the Israelies that also represent the majority of the people of that country.

I don't know how they could be legally "removed." Soros thinks the only way they can be brought in line is if the large majority of Jews that they fail to represent were to mobilize and demand reform, i. e., making them truly representative, instead of dominated by Right wing Zionist neo-cons. I highly recommend the Soros article. It's courageous.
