Hi Greg,
As the hardball continues, interesting things are happening in the media world. I've been trying to follow C-SPAN in order to get the most information and the least spin. I'm finding that there is an interesting phenomenon happening on "Washington Journal", the call-in show. Yesterday, at about 5-6PM EST, there were a flurry of callers on the "Gore voter" line who all were stating that they were disgusted with their candidate and were in the process of changing their voter registration. I found this interesting because the same script had been read earlier in the day on the Rush Limbaugh show. Now, I can't conclusively prove that the Shrub/Rove/Baker dirty tricks department are responsible for the calls or if it is just 'ditto heads', but either way, I was incensed and called and emailed C-SPAN to alert them that their impartiality was being violated by dissemblers.
Today, perhaps there was a tit for tat, but I believe the absolute best thing I've heard on C-SPAN today is a Republican from Iowa who's family has voted a straight ticket since 1854. He's disgusted with the party and considering it to be time to change. He feels that the Bush campaigners are acting completely illegitimately in their rush to judgement.
IMO, the GOP is at great risk of losing the hearts and minds of its moderate, intelligent and honest members after this affair unwinds.
I have no idea why you keep battling the knuckleheads on this thread, but I'm glad you do. :)
Keep up the good fight for honesty and intelligence, Ray |
