I am not a member of either party, Dem or Repub. This whole Swift Boat matter reminds me once again that the Repubs are notorious for shooting themselves in the foot. Or snatching defeat right from the jaws of victory. They let petty idealogs ruin things with their hypocricy.
For example, Bob Bennett, the former drug czar. A sanctimonious ass if there ever was one. Authors the Book of Virtues. Goes around speaking ill of Democrats. Turns out the guy is a degenerate gambler. Pisses away thousands and thousands of dollars on drunken binges playing slot machines!! Classic Republican. They just don't get it.
Or take Rush Limbaugh. Another sanctimonious right wing blow-hard. Also a fat ass. Turns out he's a drug addict. The only thing that guy proves is that people can, and do work quite well when they are high.
How about Donald Rumsfeld. We need only say 3 things - Weapons of Mass Destruction, Mission Accomplished, and Abu Graib.
And last but not least, Dick Cheney. One word: Halliburton. Turns out there was a big accounting scandal on his watch, long before the sweet heart contracts in Iraq.
Don't fret Kerry fans. The Repubs just don't get it. They are blinded by self interest, and desperately need to demonize their opponents. What else do they have? Certainly not their own record!
This thing is like Dan Quayle telling the 6th grader that he didn't know how to spell potato. Quayle said it was p-o-t-a-t-o-e. What a bunch of weenies.
This election is not going to be won or lost on the character issue. Something unforseen is going to emerge and tip the scales between Labor Day and Halloween. Nobody knows what that is, but it's always a strange thing that nobody saw coming. They can piss at each other all they want and in the end, it won't amount to a hill of beans. Repubs just like to be nasty because they are so miserable.
