Perception Still Key for Democrats

We're about 6 months from the 2006 mid-term elections, and there's still only one thing that I know Democrats stand for: being perceived as thinking in line with our military and other government leaders.

Rowan Scarborough of the Washington Times obtained a Democratic Senate memo that encourages Dems to stage press events with anyone in the military or government that are willing to bash Bush in some way - either in Iraq, on Katrina or on wiretapping.

"Ensure that you have the proper U.S. and state flags at the event, and consider finding someone to sing the national anthem and lead the group in the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the event," the battle plan states.

Hey, it's a strategy, even though I don't think anyone will believe them.
