If you can define a lie and apply the definition accurately to...Bush...you are a smarter man than I've seen you to be so far. ggg... Your favorite commentator offers up her quoted supporting our accomplishments, then goes on to utterly fail to examine the accomplishments one iota(while expousing conclusions in complete disregard of same accomplishments not refuted). You two are a logical hoot. Dan B.

The sad part is the Bush PR machine--and the DEMs too--need only be aimed at a tiny sliver of American society. Figure a 20 percent or so respective DEM and GOP base and a 10 percent independent base of voters. The other 50 percent just don't show, victims of either the drug war, dumb television or maybe some are just too busy with their own ego to think it important enough to vote. So who are the people the Bush PR machine is aimed at? That tiny sliver of 10 percent. And that's where, obscenely, all the campaign money goes also. I really think that were the drug war to end, more folks would participate in the electoral process (they wouldn't feel like outcasts, etc.) and that it'd therefore be harder to fool more people, rather than a few people, when national elections come around. But then again, what am I writing about? I should just take at face value the fact that I'm told that because more US soldiers are dying this means that we're doing good in Iraq; that the greater the number of casualties the more it is that certain Iraqis are afraid of freedom; that the whole reason why all of this death and destruction is going on is only because of the work of a few evil-doers. I guess I should just blindly accept that French Toast is really Freedom Toast and that Clinton's sex trip was worse than any lie that Bush, et. al. might tell. But how can I logically accept any of this? I can't. Because 'tis nothing but BSPR aimed at a tiny and timely few; not me.
