Minority/Majority

The Democratic Leadership Council purports to speak for Democrats, yet still employs former Christian Coalition official Marshall Wittmann to parrot dishonest right-wing talking points about the war. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi joins Representative Jack Murtha to demand withdrawal from Iraq.

Permanent Minority.

Organizations that purport to speak for Democrats, like the Democratic Leadership Council, are still employing people like Marshall Wittmann, a former GOP staffer and top official for the Christian Coalition. On December 2 Wittmann was quoted by the Washington Post saying that those who support an exit strategy from Iraq are “offering surrender”–a pure regurgitation of a dishonest right-wing talking point.

Toward the Majority.

House minority leader Nancy Pelosi courageously joined Representative John Murtha in demanding withdrawal from Iraq.
