Bait and Switch
With the President down in the polls and having massive problems with almost every one of his domestic issues the Republican leadership is altering strategy. They seem to be attempting to divert attention from concert issues to accusing the Democrats of being un-American and aiding the enemy in the war on terror. From a political perspective this is a good tactic. Things obviously are not going well in Iraq. The President's social security agenda has stalled. The Bolton nomination is in trouble. So, what does Rove do? He attacks, accusing the Democrats of being "crazy", think Howard Dean, "un-American", Durbin, "obstructionist", Bolton. Divert attention from issues the Democrats raise. It is the old pump-fake end around trap play. One thing you learn in sports is to never allow the other team to dictate play. You always, always want to force the other team to play your game. You need to control the pace, tempo and style of play. Rove and the President are trying to do the same thing.
