Semi-clever, ultra-wealthy Bush supporters suddenly donating piles of money to the Nader campaign in an obvious attempt to steal votes from John Kerry? Pshaw. Ptouey. Child's play. Tip of the iceberg. A mere distraction. We ain't seen nuthin' yet.
This is the time of desperation and anxiety. This is the time of hysterical Orange Alerts and imminent al Quada attacks coming from outta nowhere at any minute and violating our children and kicking our puppies and badly denting our Honda Accords. And yes, this is the time of election-year political tactics coming from the increasingly anxious Right that will make Sun Tzu's "Art of War" look like a cupcake cookbook.
Do you feel it? Can you smell it in the air? The sensation that the Republican party, though various tentacles, will stop at absolutely nothing to maintain power in the White House? It's true. It's the feeling that, during the next few months, it's all about to get very shrill, and very surreal, indeed.
How about another, "imminent" terrorist threat? Pretty much a given, really. Followed, of course, by another. And then another. And then another and another until every other day the newscast features a thick-necked, panicky Tom Ridge saying yes, oh my God yes, we now have definitive proof that terrorists are more or less sort of maybe planning to strike the U.S. maybe very soon and disrupt our shopping and screw with our TV reception and blot out the sun. We just don't know, you know, where, or when, or how, or what the hell to do about it. P.S.; Vote Republican.
Look, times have changed. Of course politics has always been a truly ugly business, and each party's strategy to gain or regain power as election time rolls around has always become increasingly low-down and nasty and mudslinging and soul-cringing and borderline illegal.
But this time it all feels, somehow, different. Uglier. More sadistic.

"Semi-clever, ultra-wealthy Bush supporters"
Apparently the writer has never heard of George Soros.
Seems the Dems can give it but cant TAKE IT!

Morford Ping
It's funny.....if you take out the words Rupublican and Right and replace them with Democrats and Left....it describes exactly what they are doing.
Somehow I think Ms Morford knows something about this.
They must have bought the Kerry idea that the threat of Terrorism is "exaggerated"...
Morford is a delusional liberal blinded by his hatred for George W. Bush
"But this time it all feels, somehow, different. Uglier. More sadistic."
Another insight into the depraved and perverted mind of the journalism 101 flunky at the Faggot Chronicle. Every article he writes further reveals the deviant mind of a homosexual.
What a sophmoric, unintelligible screed. I could give a monkey a banana, set him in front of a typewriter and get something better.
Uh, Frau Morford? Who has the infrastructure of 'dirty tricks' in place this year as in never before? The 527s? Soros? Michael Mooron? The 9-11 Commission? Multiple propaganda films, lawsuits, shadow organizations run by recent political operatives, a poison-pen book industry, paid campaign 'advisors' lying about their past activities in government to produce illusiory charges against the administration, theft of government documents from the National Archives, documented plans to use the Judiciary Committee for partisan purposes, etc., etc., etc.? It ain't the Pubbies.
Morford's boy-crush on W. has now reached epic proportions. Now he's got George involved in his Village People Cowboy S&M fantasies.
The sound of liberal screeching in the morning reminds me of.....Victory! He he he.
Yep, they can dish it out, but they can't take it.
bunch of girlie men
Morford is going to have a hissy Election Night.
Um...no I think that is the Democrats of the last 10 years...
Yes. These liberals make me so sick I can hardly read this drivel...
Markie, I smell the unmistakable scent of Vaseline, poop chute, male secretion, chemical stimulants and flop sweat...oh, no, wait a minute, that's you. No, actually, what I smell is Democratic desperation. There is anxiety in this race, but not so much from the GOP as from the Democrats. It's not just you, Markie. The Democrats and the left (to the extent that they're different) at large reek of fear. Not that the Republicans might cheat, but that they might not need to. Not that John Kerry might have this election stolen from.him, but that he might not win it in the first place. That maybe Kerry and John Edwards weren't the best of all possible tickets. That maybe there actually is a majority and more of Americans who think Dubya's the better guy. Markie, the difference between the GOP and you is that we think our candidate can win. And we're both right.
Morford can be counted on to fall into the lunatic fringe of the left. After the death of President Reagan, I wrote to him about one of his editorials blasting RR. He responded with a hysterical email citing to his own prior editorials. Some people are hopeless. The best way to deal with Morford is with a landslide this fall.
