We all know how the modern day Democrats continue to be out-spun and out-maneuvered by the shifty (albeit clever) GOP, but it would seem to me that if the Dem’s don’t strike now, they never will. Yesterday, Frist and his minions essentially handed the gun to the Democrats and dared them to shoot.

And, you gotta love the latest batch of Repubilcan spinisms: “Cut and run,” “defeatism,” “policy of retreat,” and “vote to surrender.”

Since the Republicans keep referring to Iraqi demilitarization bills as “policy of retreat” and the estate tax as the “death tax,” Maybe the Democrats start referring to the NRA as "The Murder Lobby,” (Psmoke's idea) and the NSA surveillance advocates as "The Big Brother Lobby.” In fact, how about we call start calling those who oppose the idea of getting our troops out of harm’s way as “American killers” or “troop abandoners.”

Finally, I think that we would be well within our rights to reinstate the original title of the post that Rumsfeld now holds — Secretary of War.
