Suma, what made you come over here? As you can see from your three responses, the issue is black and white for most of these posters and their logic is circular.
Don't like the message...just attack the messenger, bring up Clinton, change the subject to whether Saddam was a bad man, then repeat every wild theory to support their preferred side and claim that preserving America as we know it depends on reelecting George Bush and not that traitor Kerry. The more damaging the information is to their deeply embedded and rigidly held beliefs, the more vicious the attack on the veracity of the messenger, even when the messenger is only conveying information from another source.
No matter; those who see doomsday coming with a John Kerry presidency and who insist on screaming that the Clinton presidency was a disaster for American, or, alternatively, see doomsday coming with a second Bush term, ought to take a deep breath and listen to themselves. Bush is wounded severely and has lost the support of the moderate Republican wing of the party and Kerry will have to deal with a Republican majority in the House, at least. Both will, therefor, be forced toward moderation no matter who wins. Ed |
