1. For example, he likes to impress black crowds by talking about the lesson he learned watching his father lose his Senate seat over "civil rights." Just one problem: Al Gore Sr. voted with Strom Thurmond against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. $Bill's stump speech includes his recounting the moment he became a democrat. He was in the Senate the day the Civil Rights Act was voted on. Watching Barry Goldwater vote no was enough to convince him he wanted no part of the Republican party. Fact is, what he observed was 89% of Senate Republicans voting in favor VS. 56% of Democrats. 3X more Democrats voted no than Republicans. One of the Democrats voting no was Albert Gore Sr. 2. Mr. Bradley's new TV ads are soft biography spots; one says his "campaign will try to be different" in focusing on issues. One of Mr. Bradley's adds features a woman who credits $Bill with saving her child's life by sponsoring a bill that allowed she and her sick child stay in the hospital a few extra days. Problem with that story is, turns out the baby was born 3 years before the bill was passed. Not to mention crediting a politician for saving the child's life and ignoring the medical staff's part in the drama just turns my stomach.

And Bush may "remember" Aslan Maskhadov's name yet! Reposting from the Chechnya Listserv (subscription discussion forum): Subject: GW Bush on Chechnya, again Source: Washington Post online print edition (www.washingtonpost.com) Note: "Condi" Rice is Condoleezza Rice, a Bush foreign policy advisor and formerly Provost at Stanford University....Jim In Interview, a Little Help on Chechnya Friday, November 19, 1999; Page A34 Texas Gov. George W. Bush has spent much of this week promoting the foreign policy speech he will deliver today in California, giving numerous interviews to television and print journalists to talk about his worldview. In a telephone interview with the Associated Press on Tuesday, the Republican presidential front-runner read from a draft of his speech that said he would take action "if the Russian government attacks innocent women and children in Chechnya." Asked whether that was now happening, Bush moved the phone away from his mouth and shouted, "They are attacking women and children, aren't they?" Answer in hand, he resumed the interview and said, "Condi Rice is shaking her head in agreement." ------------------------------------------------------------------------
