Novak hates democrats so much that he betrayed his country in order to punish Joseph Wilson. He is a fascist traitor and should spend the rest of his miserable life behind bars

Novak and Gigot are professional GOP spinners. Give us a break. Obviously they have their job to do. Kerry made it very difficult to pick out any flaws, yet they strain and try, distorting reality as they go. Same logic behind these so-called bets who attack Kerry's service record. As if there's anything to attack. BTW: Why wont Novack hand over the name of the White House official who outed the undercover CIA agent Plame? He is protecting a traitor. That's serious business. Dont you guys even care about treason and weakening our war on terror by destroying a top WMD's undercover agent?

" it is one of the two or three most respected newspapers in the U.S. ".. PoppyCock! It WAS " respected " only for its Financial Portion , and even that has come under intense scrutiny after they were tied to the scams and shennanigans of Wall Street. They were USELESS as an people's investment paper, and only served to shill the public into buying what the insiders and the brokerages were selling. The world's biggest tout sheet and market manipulator. Get a clue! And they are intensely Conservative , as you would expect , since the CONS In The BIDNESS arena fully believe that they are the Masters, ans all others are there for the pickings. Now put some LipStick On this PIG And Dump it. LOL! Kc

The WSJ is respectable about financials, but when it comes to politics during an election year, they are a Republican spin operation. Those who decry the mythical "liberal media" fail to mention the WSJ and many other major papers which are pro-Republican.

Re: Poll people inside the Beltway and I think that you will find that Paul Gigot's opinions are well regarded. That only indicates how urgent investment in my Guillotine Manufactury has become. Do you realize how insane your comment is? Gigot is nuts. And so are you. "In a time of insanity, only the sane are considered to be fools." RULES FOR RADICALS: Rule 1: Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do. Rule 2: Never go outside the experience of your people. The result is confusion, fear, and retreat. Rule 3: Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat. (RGD: Modern Translation - FUD) Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.” Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage. Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.” Rule 7: A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues. Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.” Rule 9: The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself. When Alinsky leaked word that large numbers of poor people were going to tie up the washrooms of O’Hare Airport, Chicago city authorities quickly agreed to act on a longstanding commitment to a ghetto organization. They imagined the mayhem as thousands of passengers poured off airplanes to discover every washroom occupied. Then they imagined the international embarrassment and the damage to the city’s reputation. Rule 10: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?” Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.
