As a Democrat, for example, I frequently am annoyed by the toughness
with which Kerry is treated by the general media, and the relatively
free ride Bush gets, no matter what he says or does. As an example, Bush
should have been excoriated by the editorial writers and commentators
for his gay bashing (over the definition of marriage bull****) via
Congress while the country is facing so many serious problems. But, for
the most part, he hasn't been. The tight-wing outlets, on the other
hand, have been jumping up and down in their praise for Bush (and in
news reports, not just commentary) on this issue.

That's funny, I see totally the opposite. The CNN reporter yesterday
just could say it enough times that the republicans have failed to
make the votes to pass the change.

First, it was news. Second, most people who watch cable news shows watch
them for only a few minutes at a time; thus, all the repetition.






And, as another for instance, why is the liberal press still trying to
make hay out of Bush's irrelevant military records, while Kerry's post
Vienam antics, including an admission that he took part in the
"burning of villages", is pretty much a non-issue?


Because Bush has tried to make hay out of his position that he is a
wartime leader. Yet he had no relevant "wartime" experience in his
backbroung. And, had Bush been a field grande officer in any war, he
would have been relieved...for screw=ups, naivete and dishonesty.


Why are the growing
numbers of anti-Kerry Vietnam vets, each with a compelling story to
tell, not being given an audience?

Ah, yes...the GOP-front groups. They've been outed.

I, and most other conservatives have no problem with gay people
entering into civil unions for the purpose of gaining the legal
benefits (and liabilities) that other married people currently enjoy.
But don't call it a "marriage".

Marriage is civil in this country...gays are entitled to the civil
ceremony.

How wonderful it must be for you, Dave,to go through life as
Simple-Minded Simon.


I take it then that you disagree? Surely someone who tries to pass
himself off as a thinking intellectual could come up with a better
rebuttal than an ad-hominem attack?

Dave

If you'd think about it, it IS quite a good rebuttal to someone with
their head stuck in the sand.
