liberal or libertarian?

"timing is suspicious but hoorah if true" BUMP
In their oh so desperate bid to smear Bush (AGAIN!!) it has backfired and now the other liberals are shifting to the one who is the target of the smear.
And so it seems that God is turning around every evil thing plotted against Bush into his good!!
Too bad the Rats have succeeded in keeping Nader off the ballot in many states.
There is literally NOTHING that anyone could do to affect the true liberals. But this scandal is leaving a bad taste in the mouths of those whose support for Kerry is tepid and they will either stay at home or hold their nose and vote Bush. What ever they do, a great many will not be voting for Kerry.
NO FAIR! Dan Rather wanted to be the one to break that news!
I don't remember the details, but wasn't there another fraud fiasco concerning a major network and fabricating safety features in a certain car model? I think this happened about ten years ago?
So this person was on Pauls Zahn last night?
They don't get it, but the pajama people do.
Even more importantly, how many libs may not be able to bring themselves to vote for GW -- but, may just stay home out of disgust?

As my Democratic wife told me after the Russian school crisis, "If terrorists took over our daughter's school, which person do you want to handle the terrorists? Bush or Kerry?"
Kerry is too irresolute to handle the evil enemies trying to harm us. Being indecisive is a no-no while dealing with terrorists.
No decision is the worst decision. You know that Bush will make good or bad decisions, but he will not sit on his butt vacillating while American enemies regroup.
But hey Dan I still have some good news, I just saved a bundle of money on my car insurance by switching to GEICO.
I believe he recently declared his non-support over Bush's opposition to gay marriage.
(This conclusion is based on a cursory reading of the initial post. Please correct at will.)
One, anyway. We'll see in November.
Well the Orwellian agenda of CBS is very disturbing indeed.
It would seem that Rather is getting some good satisfaction out of making the White House squirm and twist and contort on this, so I can't imagine that he showed ALL he was going to show just last night.
Dear CBS News and Dan Rather: THANK YOU !!! Thank you for standing up to the misinformation that is being presented to the American people on a daily basis from the White House and every level of government. As I news junkie, it has been disturbing to watch the decline of journalistic integrity.
I thanked him and told him I was a typewriter repairman and that the doc's looked authentic to me.
We love you Dan, and a large group of us here are rooting for you (we're all Deaniacs....so you know how intensely we feel about cleaning up the media!) I think you are displaying genuine integrity, and it is this we admire above and beyond whatever the final validity of these documents turns out to be. We trust you, (at the moment, ha!) because of this integrity, and so much of America is aching for this right now!
With CBS acting like the only broadcast media with a spine, I'll wager the far right is afraid of what else they may have found. Keep in mind that the opposition seeks to destroy the messenger, not the message. Witness the focus on the authenticity of paper and ink, rather than the information contained.
I truly appreciate the integrity CBS News has shown in covering these recent stories regarding Mr. Bush's National Guard duty.
Here is my take on this....CBS has the originals, Rove sent the fakes to Rather, Rather knows these are fakes, but these fakes are being used to smoke out Rove. I find it strange that Rather would interview the secretary on his program for her to say she thought these documents were forgeries. Actually, Rather asked her more then once about the forgeries, then she mentions a diary. Maybe CBS has the diary. Although the secretary verified the information I think Rather is too smart to know this is not enough after all he has been investigating this for four or five years. I think Rather wants to prove that Rove sent these so called papers to him -- he is giving every opportunity to allow Rove and company to say these papers are forgeries. My impression he was emphasizing the papers were forgeries just as much as the contents. He also knows there are some documents missing -- proof now the WH has more documents available after I don't know how many times, they keep saying they turned them all over but all of a sudden more are found. When interviewing the secretary Rather was very confident (almost smug). I believe he is holding a lot back. Go Dan Rather!
the docs he's allowing to be broadcast probably are fake in an effort to trip up bushco, but I doubt that Viacom's lawyers would let him go to air with bullshit and risk the financial hit to the stockholders. There is too much money at stake to be that reckless. And Rather isn't like the cable-cabal... innuendo, insinuation and speculation passing for evidence... We don't know all there is to know, so it's too soon to be howling about fakes---Rather hasn't tipped his hand yet.
i suspect that these forgeries are, in fact, forgeries. i suspect that they were leaked by the GOP in order to create the belief that CBS is untrustworthy on not only this issue, but any others in which they have criticized the administration in the past. this all just seems way too intentional to me.
