As far as Bush doing drugs, he has denied it fully, and there is no proof or even evidence.

Bushlite NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER denied his drug use! NEVER!!!!!

What he said was, "I am not going to talk about it!"

Get that through your head first, and you might open your eyes to the other sore points of this sorry man's march to the White House. It is far easier to close your eyes to the fact that this man has done nothing in his life except cash in on his family name to make money. It is far easer to close your eyes to the fact that, unless you are very rich, you are going to do worse, not better, with this man implementing policy in the White House. I do not say setting policy, for he is nothing more than a mouthpiece for the rich and powerful in the RNC.

Govuna Bush has stated repeatedly that he is in control of "all phases" of his campaign. Knowing that he is a liar, it does not surprise me to hear that he "knew nothing" about the ad. It is sad that he is your candidate. It is more sad that you will vote for him blindly, because that is what the rank and file republiKlans do...

It doesn't bother me in the slightest that Mr. Bush may have not known about this ad. However, it is the great lengths that he goes to justify himself and deny impropriety and the obvious falsehoods he is telling that really makes him look bad.

The interesting thing to me is that, Republicans, who seem so quick to point fingers of impropriety, instantly deflect and ignore any pointing their way. It's all just an innocent misunderstanding!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Yea, right! I'll buy that for a quarter.

Democrats would never act like that. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Politics is a scream.

Therein/herein lies our problem, all politicians are full of $h1t and they are always the moral superior. If the same thing had happened to Gore/Democrats, then they'd probably react in the same way. The problem here is twofold.

First is the fact of the current situation. Whether subliminal suggestion works or is effective is a moot point, the appearance of the attempt should be enough to cause alarm on its own. Add to this that GW's dad(former Pres. Bush)is a former head of the CIA(known to have attempted to develope numerous psychological weapons)and this becomes harder to ignore.

Second is the reaction of those being "caught"(caught is quoted since there is no evidence showing whether GW knew about this beforehand. However, as I stated in earlier posts, he's the one left holding the bag, he's the one the press and public want/need answers from). So far his response leaves a lot to be desired.

After 8 years of Republican railing on the "morals" and "character" of Clinton, one would expect more from the Republicans. It would appear though, that they are more concerned with power than character.

Sandorski:

Ever heard of the Lichter/Rothman study? It polled journalists on their views and other various things. Results:



<<
Demographic__________________Media___Public
--------------------------------------------
White_________________________98%______61%
Male__________________________92_______49
From Northeast corridor___________61_______38
From metropolitan area___________68_______65
From &quot;professional&quot; family________39_______ 6
College graduates_______________77_______21
Postgraduate study______________37_______ 6
Personal income___________$135,000___$17,700
Family income_____________$186,000 $23,700

Political Outlook
--------------------------------------------
Self-described liberal________65%______27%
Self-described moderate_______18_______41
Self-described conservative___17_______32
>>




Those are the results. Pay attention to the second set of data. Notice a slight skewing of the journalists towards one side of the political spectrum?

Now, since you (or someone else, sorry!) mentioned a man by the name of John McCain, I'd like to take this oppurtunity to put this on the record: McCain was, without any doubts whatsoever, my choice for the Republican nomination. But, once he was defeated by Bush/Republican Establishment, I took a realistic look at the presidential race: Bush is not my first choice, nor was he ever. He is, however, a better choice than EveryAl Gore. He's the lesser of two evils.

That's where I stand. I will, however, be supporting Bush simply because I absolutely don't want Gore in office, for reasons to numerous to mention. It's really too bad McCain didn't get the nod though because he would've been a great president. Alas.




P.S. It hardly matters though, considering I can't vote yet! :| And sorry for the underscore things but that's the only way it would work!

From Slate today:


<< Bush tried to look interested in the issues the doctors raised, but if you watched his face, you could see he wasn't. He'd nod in agreement, but without any indication of comprehension. When one of the doctors asked Bush what he would do as president about the daunting bureaucratic obstacles to getting cancer patients into experimental treatment protocols, Bush simply repeated that he wanted to double funding for the National Institutes of Health and then stated, &quot;Medicare needs reform.&quot; When your message is that thin, it's easy for the rats to overshadow it. >>



Maybe he's a product of his own education system in Texas where 1/3 of High School graduates have to take remedial courses when entering college. Many of which can't even write a complete sentence because they are so used to studying for the state multiple choice tests.
