What move have they made? A move that preaches to the choir, perhaps, but nothing that will rise above the din that is election year politics.

Few people outside of hardcore political junkies really understand that the usual liberal slander actually applies to themselves. To the "casual" political observer if you were to say liberals are actually the ones opposed to free speech they'd look at you like a dog being shown a card trick.

IMHO, if ever it were time to take off the gloves it's now. We have between now and 2008 - two Supreme Court seats hang in the balance, not to mention the FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY and perhaps mankind - now is not the time to look upward and trust our good intentions will bear fruit but rather to proactively help ourselves help ourselves.

Paranthetically - I see this forum requires one to help themselves with HTML - HAha, how totally apt. I think I have the hang of it now.

What's interesting is that when North Korea again tries to blackmail the world, they make it easier for conservatives to win votes.

Recall that the Bin Laden video before the 2004 election equaled votes in favor for self preservation.

In essence, the opposition to global security will have to politely beg hostile nations' tyrants to hold off on rattling the liberal media's cage so that Democrats can win elections. The irony is that when a bully senses such weakness, it's a shark that sniffs blood in the water.

Thus, what the present conservative decision is advertising to the traditionally Democrat voter is the chance to see the conservative leadership as who they are: wise enough not to endorse a very funny parody against liberal leadership because conservatives value a party of ladies and gentlemen polite even to those having an opposite opinion.

...but if a group of Swift Boat Veterans want to spend their own money and efforts to expose political candidates, well then we have free speech and a free enterprise economy that allows such actions. Heck, we're so secure with freedom and power, we even allow a foreign despot to call the President "the devil" within our own border.
