You mean like Vice President Dick Cheney, lying that he'd never met John
Edwards before? Or his slightly more recent lie that Kerry was planning
a 50 cent/gal gas tax hike, based on Kerry's proposal from 1979? Or
Cheney's profane insults which are his standard response to questions
about his conflict of interest over Halliburton?

No. Mis-statements or misrepresentations of substantive fact have occurred
in their dozens on the part of both candidates. I read about this recently,
and the prevarication is about the only thing in the campaigns that is, in
fact, balanced.

No. The "...grade-school lies and insults, and the small, small people that
employ them..." that I was referring to were the propensity of folk like
you, Harry, et al to almost always refer to Repubs in pejorative terms, such
as "...not exclusively controlled by witch-burners and/or KKKers...", or
"...many sensible (non-fascist-whacko) Republicans...".

Do away with that puerile stuff, and grown-ups might start to take you
seriously.

That'd be all well and fine, except that there seems to be a lack of
right wingers here, who act "grown up". Most would prefer to act as
children and call people names, etc.
