[QUOTE="Guttermouth, post: 26535551"] Ah! There you go Humble Man. That's the whole point. Rovian political strategy revolves around two major points. First, exploit your opponents strengths, not thier weaknesses. John kerry is a perfect example of this. Create a story, truth be damned, to destroy his status as a decorated veteran. Second is to turn your weaknesses into strengths. We know right now that the Republican machine has a stated goal of playing up fear of terrorism and then using that fear to claim they are doing a better job to fight it than the Democrats. This is a prefect opportunity for them to use the weakness that is torture and clandestine prisons to their advantage. If and when the Democrats speak out against this, and fight congressional moves to make Bush policies legal, the Republicans will use it to claim the Dems are weak on terrorism. So we have a double whammy. Bush is weak on terrorism, and is eroding human rights by condoning torture. So they'll take the Democratic stand to protect human rights and use it aganst them. And, I am sad to say it will work. Just watch. [/QUOTE]
