heard Americans were protesting the war?" He said, "I thought that's
what we were fighting for -- the right to protest."

Yup. That's class. Bush and his people want to label anyone who oppose them or
the war as "Un-American."
The sad irony is that Bush, in using this lame technique, drops in the polls
even further.
Bye Bye Bushy!

Yep, and the more Americans who believe the, the better.
Bush & Co's attempts to run down Kerry because he saw something he
didn't like and protested about it should fall on deaf ears.

IMHO, for he most part, it is. Only Bush's core of "true believers" are
buying it. It seems that their campaign of character assassination
worked so well against McCain and Gore that they don't know any other
way to campaign.


Denial that torture and murder by US and Allied soldiers occurred in
Vietnam is pretty lame after we see that it is happening in Iraq.

Are they still denying it? I thought Bush went on Al Jazeera to explain
that he regretted it "(they denied apologizing), that it was against
American law and official policy, and that the perpetrators would be
punished (prob'ly not by being sent to the Guantanamo Bay Cuba camp,
though).

BTW I saw a news clip on McCain the other day, talking briefly about his
time as a POW and he said something to the effect that the men he was
held POW with were a great help and support, and that many men had it
worse than him. Since he was the senior officer POW, and was singled out
for additionally brutal treatment, that seemed like a noble thing to
say. It's a shame that the far right fringe managed to cut him out in
the 2000 election.

The difference is that those who oppose President George W. Bush ARE
un-american. They want to see America punished.

Bye Bye Bushy!

You should follow the news. President George W. Bush is ahead in
every poll. In the battleground states, President George W. Bush is
ahead. In California, Kerry is ahead by only ONE percentage point.
Kerry could lose the 43 electoral votes of California, which means he
has NO chance of winning.

Top level demoncrats know this, and are in panic mode.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

You know nothing about the US. You are the traitor if you
believe that protesting the actions of the gov't are traitorous.

You should read the polls more carefully. He's dead even
with Kerry (the one you're in love with).

Now it's all gone to hell, they need to try some different
tactics..maybe a little extra tax cut.

At this point, it would have been cheaper and far far more effective to
give every Iraqi man, woman, and child $80,000 and tell them to love
Uncle Sam.


BTW been radin a scary book, The Dark Side of Camelot, details the
electioneering and presidency of JFK using interviews and records
released under the freedom of inf act.
It's just waay too scary thinking that a president can and did use his
office to lead personal vendettas against those who embarassed him or
who he assumed had done him wrong, and the corruption that was
involved in keeping his not so private life out of the newspapers.

It parallels GWB to a large extent.

I could believe that the press overlooked JFK's womanizing due to being
bribed one way or another. As for personal vendettas, I'd be a little
surprised but that's the way politics works at baseline... I'm not a big
Kennedy fan, but think he did a basically good job at a tough time.
Remeber when you read a hatchet job on JFK that a *lot* of media types
really have it in for him now. I've read some amazing stuff about how he
faked the whole PT-109 incident and that his father Joe P. switched from
smuggling liquor to smuggling heroin after Prohibition was repealed, etc
etc. And a lot of people are willing to believe it.

Conversely, a lot of people cannot believe anything bad about JFK and
sanctify him... just as bad IMHO. But he is a *little bit* more worthy
of it than say J.Edgar Hoover.

Don't be silly. Adults do not want to see their or any offspring
needlessly hurt. I'd say what we want is for the USA to stop being
incompetent in foreign policy/diplomacy.

Yes, very scary! My girlfriend's best friend used to write for the Dallas
paper. She moved up here about six years ago and the stories never stop!

Yes, he was the official "source" for the Kennedy presidency. I don't think
the "numbers" have changed much since then...
