You sound really brain-washed. It's scary. No evidence that Bush has ever lied? Are you kidding? I've posted 30-40 whoppers. I'll give you one to try and defend.

"We've already found them" - about WMD's in Iraq. Bush was refering to the mobile labs. Those labs are of the same design as our Army's mobile labs for creating hydrogen gas for balloons. Helium is too unstable so hydrogen must be used. Not an atom of chem or bio material was found. And they were old and un-used. So why is Bush saying "We found them already!". Same reason he told us "The war is over and we won", for PR self-promo deflection purposes.

Find one lie of a non-personal sexual nature that Clinton ever told. Hey, if most men were put on the spot about their extra-martial affairs, they'd lie at first too. It was too bad Clinton has this flaw, but it had nothing to do with national security, the economy, or any of the other important issues.

As for me being stupid and inexperienced, I have a degree from Brown University and without bragging my IQ is way-way up there. Inexperienced? I've been to 80 countries, have started three businesses, my work has generated 800 million gross revenues and Kerry's top guy sometimes comes to me asking for my opinions. I am friends with plenty of Republicans, some of them powerful in politics, and have high-level debates with them in person.

If you want to talk about intelligence, ask yourself what GW would do without Rove and Cheney telling him what to say and do. John Kerry doesn't need anyone to handle him. No comparison on intelligence, though I don't concsider Bush stupid like some do, just gaffe-prone without a script.

As for being left-wing, I am actively FIGHTING the left-wing of the party. I debate against Dean and did so with Nader too. Gore, Lieberman, graham and Edwards are all moderates. Gephardt and Kerry are inbetween. But Kerry has the military experience and intel to allow him to be both a hawk and a dove depending on conditions.

We're not lefty liberals, we're mainstream Americans with whom most people agree once they know the facts. Kerry's view on the war was shared by 65% of Americans until the war was inevitable. That is, get UN support and broad coalition first, then make a well thought-out post-war plan. None of that was done and now we pay the price for stupidity and amateurism.

Bush and Rove's strategy is to keep Americans from learning the facts. To hide behind slick PR photo op events using soldiers and flags as props. If they knew the facts, they'd know it's mostly phony. For instance, the true cost of the tax cuts for the rich, they'd be solidly against them if they realized, if they had any idea who's going to pay for all this down the road.
