A multipronged approach

to fighting the President's new-found defence against the lies and smears of the left - caught off guard initially, now they are pushing back from several angles. Take, for instance, the fresh interest in polls today and yesterday:

DNC: Bush's Political Attacks Can't Save Sinking Poll Numbers; Democrats Committed to Fighting for the Truth

Unable to effectively fight against their own words and actions prior to the Iraq war, a concurrent side theme will be to point at the President's poor poll numbers as "proof" that they are right. This will fail, though, since the poll numbers are a direct result of the left's lies and smear tactics. As the President's message gains traction, his poll numbers will rise.

Kinda reminds me of the movie "Down Periscope". When the executive officer (played by Rob Schneider) is ordered into custody after a failed mutiny attempt, he protests, "You can't do that! These men love me!" Related to the Democrats, they are telling us "Don't listen to the President! Remember, he's unpopular!"

There will be other diversionary attempts as well, all should also be regarded as just noise.
