The only way to get a delusional friend or a Rat is to rub their noses into the feces (like a dog) that has defecated on your rug. You hold their heads steady with a firm grasp and rub it and rub it until they get the point.

There is no relationship between the Swift Boat Veterans and the Bush Administration. It's a totolly false myth that Democrats and Media, and know they are lying and distorting the truth. The truth is easy to see doing research from your computer keyboard.

However, the Democrats and their 527s like MoveOn.org are a single integrated operation. They coordinate, plan, and organize together. Lib. Media workers are on Kerry's payroll. see the Begala thread. Same goes for Carville.

OBTW, Ben Barnes has a very long donors list to the Democrats.

I don't think Frank Rich had a mother or other person to instill in him a fundamental sense of manners.

The funny thing is, this guy probably thinks of himself as a highly enlightened person; educated, urbane, cultured and of possessing the liberal's greatest attribute, extraordinary intelligence.

[Luke21]

You are entirely correct. The anger from the socialist hordes is flowing like lava.

AOL lies has a story on now that headlines, "BIG GAPS IN BUSH MILITARY RECORD." Carvile and company are no doubt telling em to inflate Bush's negatives.

These people are the Soviet Union in drag.

Nothing in this campaign demonstrates the bias of the media better than their current criteria for judging a person's credibility or fitness to lead by the number of medals they received regardless of the circumstances for which the medals were awarded. Now that they have proclaimed their candidate a "war hero" they should apply this new standard to everyone. The trouble is, it disqualifies their last President, their VP candidate, and most of their party mouthpieces from speaking about the defense of our country.

I'm done with debating my Dem friends while they resort to conspiracy theory and personal attacks. Screw em. I now happily rub their noses in their own ignorance.

T'is good to see the Kerry campaign attacking the National Guard issue again...

Citizens for Honest Fighter Pilots has learned that 60 Minutes is set to reveal how in 1968, Bush got Ben Barnes to ask the head of the Texan Air National Guard, General James Rose, to give Bush a spot in the pilot-training program which would automatically excuse him from the draft and allow him to avoid service in Vietnam.

The logic escapes me. How can one be excused from the draft, when one is in the service already? And how could one expect to avoid Vietnam if they were in the NG? Many Guard units went to Vietnam.

Methinks either the Kerry campaign (and surrogates) is imploding, or the Left is having brain farts.

I understand Dan Blather and CBS are putting this story out Wednesday night. I lived in Texas at the time and Barnes was the DNC's next big star they were grooming for big stuff. This story does not have legs, but the DNC will play it for all they can. Barnes went out of politics in one season...for all kinds of bad stuff. I don't remember it all, but the political history of this guy is there... Ben Barnes.

[M Kehoe]

I guess if See BS is running the hit piece, the dnc and Kerry campaign don't have to pay for it. Or do they? We're within 60 days of the campaign, and it is a political ad now isn't it?

Yeah, right, Frank. W. was such a sissy that he had his father pull strings so that he could become a FIGHTER PILOT. Unlike Frank's macho hero, Al Gore, who had his father pull strings so he could become a JOURNALIST.

I wouldn't argue along the lines of Gore becoming a journalist. It all plays into the dems underlying assumption that the only people that have valid input are those who went to Vietnam.

What they should do is create an ad campaign collecting all of the quotes by democrats making such assertions and then challenge voters...did you fight in Vietnam? If not the dems say you shouldn't have a say in this nation.

[highlander_UW]

In a particularly malevolent editorial, Frank Rich of the New York Times writes, "Only in an election year ruled by fiction could a sissy who used Daddy's connections to escape Vietnam turn an actual war hero into a girlie-man."

Well, it was Schwartzenegger who used the "girlie-man" phrase (referring to economics, btw), so is Rich stating that Arnold used his father's connections to escape Vietnam?!

Google tells you all you need to know about this race:

Results 1 - 10 of about 6,100 for "Kerry slams bush. (0.17 seconds)

Results 1 - 10 of about 599 for "Bush slams Kerry. (0.29 seconds)

If there ever was the right time to expose the blatant media bias, it is NOW. We have the momentum, thanks to Zell Miller. We have to capitalize on it, big time.

Absolutely agree. The GOP itself should take on the "old media". GHW Bush has made a start by saying in a recent interview that he was through reading the NY Times. No Republican should go on CNN, as long as they have Kerry campaign apparatchiks like Carville and Begala as employees. Strike while the iron is hot.

Is Al Gore running again? Or does the hyperbole directed at him have some hidden, significant meaning?

Flying an airplane, irrespective of whether it's a Beech Bonanza or an F-102, is a matter only of time and training. Flying, in a strict sense, is the ability to launch, navigate, coomunicate and bring the aircraft back to earth in the same condition as when it left. Being a fighter pilot goes far beyond being able merely to fly the airplane.

No they don't pay for anything the mainstream press says or reports...and I understand Dan Rather (Blather) is using this on his Wednesday night show this week as NEWS!! That is exactly why CBS,NBC,ABC and CNN are so dangerous...they answer to noone...and WHINE when they lose their viewers.
