And here I thought it was horrible policy stances that doomed Dukakis from the start. Silly me, believing history!

I’d vote for Willie Horton before I’d vote for Obama.

The Nation is comparing Barack Obama to a convicted robber, murderer, prison escapee and rapist. And we’re the racists?

If the Pubbies were smart they’d preface each ad with “Hillary Clinton says...”

Americans DESERVE the TRUTH about EVERY candidate for public office...
I have always been in search of the truth....
Those who shrink from the truth, don’t deserve a public office.

Algore strikes again!?
The first person to mention the Massachusetts furlough program in the 1988 presidential campaign was Al Gore. During a debate at the Felt Forum sponsored by the New York Daily News, Gore took issue with the furlough program and brought up the Horton incident.

A Maxist with terrorist buddies who’s been endorsed by Hamas is worried about being unfairly targeted by an ad campaign?

Leftists have ALWAYS regarded any unflattering truth as a smear. "Unflattering truth" is a redundancy 99% time when referring to liberals. How many flattering truths can we find about liberals?

Boo Hoo.
Wait and see how many opinion pieces Yahoo (or anyone else) runs criticizing hit pieces on McCain. No need to wait, there won’t be any. When a Soros type group claims that McCain kills and eats little minority babies there will not be one iota of outrage.
And McLame will respond by leading with the chin, as all RINOs do. I’m already disgusted thinking about it. And I can’t stand McCain.

These guys have no shame. They must be the same idiots that were writing in my college paper back in the ‘60s. Any rubbish that they come up with is fit to print.
