Framing

Framing.

"If you are among those who wonder why the Democrats have a reputation for being anti-military and soft on national defense, look no further"

The entire post is worth your attention. TigerHawk on Nancy Pelosi framing the looming testimony from Gen. Petraeus. Who's framing here? Congressional Democrats or, right-of-center bloggers depends on your, er, frame of reference.

But in Ithaca, I know where most people stand on the issue. I just wonder if our Senator (C-type) will be present to question the General after her last round during which she, more or less, called him a liar and he went on to turn Iraq from a war about to be a lost and a political hand grenade into a winnable war and a potentially winning political issue (witness John McCain).

Also, I'd just like to point out, in 2006 Tompkins County gave Hillary Clinton over 67% of it's vote in compared to 27% for the Republican candidate. Heck, the Green Party candidate got 5%!

But, that's Ithaca.
