Sometimes she says something right

Erin Neff of the Las Vegas Review-Journal actually said something we can, somewhat, agree on - except I've known for a long time CongrASSman Jon Porter (R-NV03) is still a hand-puppet for the Bush Crime Family. His unwavering support for the Iraq invasion and occupation will bring him down and his War Party come November 2008.

LVRJ:

Maybe the way people in other countries view us has something to do with Porter's enthusiastic support for the war in Iraq. Make no mistake, Porter was for the war before he was for it. Not only did he support it from the beginning, he's supported every funding bill, cheered on the surge and is now squarely positioned as one of the administration's go-to guys for the Iran message.

If Porter didn't believe his own calculation that the "war on terror" plays well in his suburban district with lots of military families, he wouldn't be so stuck on his support for ongoing occupation.

The way he puts it, the Middle East needs us there to keep the world safe. Oh yeah, and Israel is over there, too. Porter will do whatever it takes to win. That may mean forsaking so-called Republican principles of small government and low taxes.

That may mean claiming support for the troops, or the children, or whatever else
is politically palatable.
