Listeners to progressive/liberal talk who engage the war topic do see 
war as an issue.  The polarization out there puts liberals squarely 
"against" the war and conservatives "in favor of" the war. 

So, too, are political scandals patterned in the format with one minor 
tweak - conservatives don't scandal very well.  Awkward.  They 
definitely need help getting those scandals to go nova quickly.   Just 
ask the toe-tapper with the wide stance.
