Truman's minions also circulated a poem which read, "A horses tail is nice and gooey. Look underneath and there is Dewey." I'll bet no one else on this board can remember Truman or the little poem.

The playbooks older than I thought then...

Wise, all- knowing leader

Yes, it's sucking up, but are you going to stop me?

This supports my impression that Truman was one of the most over-rated presidents ever. Whatever good he did in ending World War II and stopping the Communist advance in Korea was more than off-set by losing China and firing MacArthur, who had a sensible strategy to not only stop, but roll-back the Communist gains.

No one should get offended by the characterization by the media of the Bush ads as offensive or as attack ads. Instead, you should expect it as a matter of course. He could run an ad praising his mother for raising him and his wife for reforming it and the media would attack it as an anti feminist ad. It's part of the dems plan to demonize everything Bush says or does and the media is complicit in supporting it. They will never point out that the criticism originated with groups funded by the dems. It's rather sickening.

No new tricks in the Dem playbook.

Dewey's biggest mistake was that mustache of his. It made him look like some kind of con artist, I always thought. I was a boy back then, too. I thought Truman was a jerk (a crooked haberdasher) but Dewey looked like some kind of city slicker trying to pose as Gregory Peck and doing a poor job of it.
