The current rightwing spin is "Kerry was a terrible candidate because he couldn't even beat a smirking chimp". But it was really Karl Rove who Kerry was running against. Rove is a master at dirty tricks, smear campaigns and election fraud. It may be that Kerry even won the election, but if not, then it was because of Rove's absolutely amoral smear campaigns and dirty tricks. Remember how many phony terrorist alerts we had right before the election?

Persephone. You said...."Bush had Daddy's money. It takes money to run. Look at the money Big Business pours into candidates. I've never understood why you keep harping on Kerry's wife. It sounds so petty.".... ...you keep harping on Kerry's wife..... As I recall I have very seldom mentioned kery's wives and if I did it would be to point out that it is still a cheezy thing to do in a lot of peoples minds to marry an older women because her money can help you attain your goals. Soros supported kery as well...so what? that is how it has always been...but not every politician would marry up to support their habit...some still have a tad of decency.? Now couple that less than honorable trait with all the other less than honorable things kery is accused of ... many proven... and a picture of a not very nice man emerges. Course that is only my opinion. As for Bush I only agree with his policy of confronting radical islam and pay little or no attention to whatever else he does.

Bush Pentagon Mick Jagger or Create Your Own Manage Alerts \| What Is This? NEW YORK (AP) -- The Rolling Stones' upcoming album contains a song seemingly critical of President Bush, but Mick Jagger denies it's directed at him, according to the syndicated TV show "Extra." "It is not really aimed at anyone," Jagger said on the entertainment-news show's Wednesday edition. "It's not aimed, personally aimed, at President Bush. It wouldn't be called 'Sweet Neo Con' if it was." The song is from the new album, "A Bigger Bang," set for release September 6. There is no mention of Bush or Iraq. But it does refer to military contractor Halliburton, which was formerly run by Vice President Cheney and has been awarded key Iraq contracts, and the rising price of gasoline. "How come you're so wrong? My sweet neo-con, where's the money gone, in the Pentagon," goes one refrain. The song also includes the line: "It's liberty for all, democracy's our style, unless you are against us, then it's prison without trial." "It is certainly very critical of certain policies of the administration, but so what! Lots of people are critical," Jagger told "Extra." A representative for the Stones said the group had no further comment about the song. The Rolling Stones intend to kick off a U.S. tour in Boston August 21.
