I hope this is true. I would like nothing better than to sweep the Democrats into the trashbin of history. But I'm afraid there are too many people with no interest at all in what is going on and will vote only on what they hear in soundbites and headlines and the Dems know it. I think that is why they are continually bringing up ridiculous arguments and accusations. They know that come November only the soundbites and headlines will be remembered. The GOP must begin pushing the truth now. Waiting until a month or two before the elections will be too late, they will be overwhelmed by the soundbites. Now is the time to publicly challenge the inane and downright ridiculous charges being made.

From http://www.ornery.org/essays/warwatch/2001-11-19-1.html:
"...When we went into the Gulf War, it was about liberating a little country -- Kuwait -- from the vicious dictator who had conquered it. But about fifteen minutes after the war ended, the only version we ever heard was, "It was about big oil. Those oil companies got the U.S. government to protect their profits."During Clarence Thomas's confirmation hearings, it was obvious to most of us that somebody was lying and it wasn't Clarence Thomas. Polls at the time showed that most Americans believed Thomas and didn't think he had ever behaved improperly to Anita Hill. But fifteen minutes after it was over, the only version we heard was how Anita Hill was a victim of sexual harassment -- instead of how Clarence Thomas was a victim of character assassination.
And guess what? The polls now show that the revisionists have won. Most Americans -- even those who were following events at the time -- will tell you that the Gulf War was about oil and Clarence Thomas probably said "something" to Anita Hill..." - from "Revisionist History" by Orson Scott Card in The Rhinoceros Times, Greensboro, NC
