4) Republicans get talking cards from Karl Rove's office regularly that tell them what to say to the press. Ever noticed how all Republicans always say the same thing? Now it's "Kerry owes America an apology for what he said." [At least something along those lines.]


And that's worse than the Democrats finding a couple 9/11 widows to read talking cards about Bush using 9/11 imagery in his ads? I think not.

5) Let's not forget Watergate, an actual [Note: Whitewater does not count as an actual scandal because it was not, actually, a scandal] scandal involving Nixon.


So 18 felony counts and up to 3 years in prison for some of the principles... and it wasn't a scandal? Just because they weren't able to pin anything on "Teflon" Clinton, doesn't mean it wasn't a scandal.

6) Al Gore and the internet. Al Gore was talking to reporters and said "I invented the internet." Now, Republicans would be quick to speak out against this because it's a lie [Actually, it really isn't.] while in fact it was a fairly legitimate claim. See, Gore was taking credit for a program that he championed and funded. He saw the value in ARPANET and stood behind it with funding. Then he took credit for it. It's what government people do. But here come the Republicans calling Gore a pathological liar to try and win more votes for Bush. And people believed them.


INVENTING something and championing the funding for something are QUITE different things! If I invent a robot that cleans your house, and some rich guy gives me $10 million to improve it and market it and produce it, that doesn't mean the rich dude can claim he invented it. It's really two completely different things, inventing and funding, and Gore had no rights to make the "invented" claim.

And now these same people [Republicans] are demanding an apology because Kerry made a fairly legitimate claim against them. What's wrong with these people. And why can't you all see past this? Oh, and I would like to point out that the starting point for this thread came from FOX news, probably the most biased news source in America.


I believe CNN to be far more biased than Fox. Just yesterday I found an article via the Drudge report that the woman recently arrested for spying for Iraq worked for 3 or 4 Democrat politicians, including Carol Moseley Braun, back in the early 90's during the first Gulf War. CNN puts that same article Under the "US News" subheading and doesn't even give it top billing. And, CNN's version fails to mention Susan Lindauer's prior employment history, but instead leaves the reader believing she was some random lady.

And I know, because I read the CNN article first, and I was like "ok, but who was this chick?"

OOh, more Kerry lies!

And one more thing, did you expect the Republicans to say "Oh yeah, well, that's true, we are a bunch of crooked liars." NO! Republicans are public officials too, and as a result, they are defending themselves and telling everyone that it's not true. DUH, this is common sense, you know.

BOTH sides have to use smoke and mirrors in order to sway the idiots who don't pay enough attention to read policy. Use of imagery to sway your emotions, double speak, you name it. As voters, our responsibility is to decide which side's agenda is going to benefit ourselves or the nation more, and cast a vote for that candidate.

But on a more specific level, I find it VERY disturbing that Kerry is being caught red handed in lie after lie! But you won't find THAT on CNN!


I'm the bawss.
