>>>Sure, and the prospect of having another known compulsive liar in the White House, further degrading the office of the President and degrading the culture, makes my skin crawl.........<<<
Neocon, don't you realize that your painting Gore as a "liar" comes from the talking points strategy passed down by Bush's top brass disseminating the theme into lunch counter chatter, the bottom line of opinion molding. Neocon, you are at the lunch counter.
Bush's manipulative campaign strategists think they successfully smeared Clinton on Sex, they now think they can smear Gore as a "liar."
Just imagine Karl Gove, Karen Hughes, Dick Morris and, who knows, maybe even Roger Ailes--Lee Atwater dirty campaign tactic graduates--sitting 'round planning the following: a) Bush must attempt to steal Gore's issues because they're good ones and the people like them; b) paint Gore into a corner by giving Americans the impression that he's a liar, and given what the nation has been through with Clinton, the country won't want a "liar" in the White House. The theory being if Americans are gonna get the same issues, why put a "liar" in the White House?
In my view, Republicans can't win on issues and, therefore, rely on smear. In a balance of career service to our nation, Al Gore is nothing like how the Republicans are attempting to portray him.
Granted, Gore won't do what I want him to do. However, comparatively, he's much more fit for the presidency than is George W. Bush. |
