The point I am trying to make is that we can score points with working class whites because Kerry can get us out of Iraq sooner than Bush. Bush lashed the destiny of a "free, democratic, stable Iraq" to the survival of the Republican party. In doing that, Bush has created an unresolvable conflict of interest between Republican party survival and the best interest of America with respect to Iraq.
Iraq now looks like the worst political investment in history. The Republicans shot their wad on it. I hope they enjoyed their upfront payoff in the 2002 elections, because it is about to be followed by a slow, painful slide into political oblivion. I think so, because I don't see a free, democratic, stable Iraq happening in my lifetime -- especially when Bush himself has done so much to wreck Christian/Muslim relations.
Abu Ghraib was the bell tolling for Republicans. They are gut shot.
