My question nearly every day.
Some posters have told me that the American public doesn't want to see dissent or the Republicans get into the gutter with the left. That's a false argument, imo, as dispelling a lie does not mean that one has to be mean or get in the gutter.
I know the press only covers what it wishes to cover and that typically doesn't include Republican truth tellers, and so a way around that is to have a huge press conference with all the Republican leadership which would force the press to cover their exposure of the left's lies.
That the left is permitted to continue to lie about the war and whether there were WMD and whether Iraq had ties to AQ is outrageous when one considers how this must demoralize our military. It infuriates me to no end that the administration/Republican leadership don't at least talk about the known, provable facts.
I was really struck how Harry Smith viciously assaulted members of the Swift Boaters last year during John Kerry's run for the presidency. There was no pretense of being impartial or objective in their accusations leveled at John O'Neill.
To me that was the beginning of the end.
