republicans mantra:
lies, distort, blame and spin
how did we get into the iraq war?
lies, distort, blame and spin
and the abramoff ethics scandal was the same thing,
lies, distort, blame and spin
Don't kid yourself. That's no different a game than the Democrats play.
karsen-
with all due respect, i beg to differ.
this bush administration has sunk to a new level of hypocrisy. its mantra is to lie to the press (along w/lying to your own pres secretary, by the way!)
rove and cronies have distorted the truth to the american people on so many issues: my lord, why is iraq-wmd-saddem no longer in anyone's memory?
and no one blames like cheney-the press, the liberals, scooter-everyone else but the obvious failures of the neo-con plan.
then there are the spin folks, who managed to sucker the press and the public to participate in the sham war, ignoring the real security issues facing our natiion while saddling our children with a generation of debt all the while making us less secure thru out the globe.
for me, this election is different. i refuse to bring a cynical approach to november 4th. i want a change from the failed policies of the past 8 years. i want to move away from the politics of blame and start to re-ignite the spirit of possibility. for me, obama represents that spirit of the possible while mccain is nothing but another white guy who has traded on his family's access, his wife's money and his pow days from 40 yrs ago.
we, as a nation, are at a pivotal moment in our history. same was true at the time of lincoln, roosevelt and kennedy. it is time to embrace real change. the repubs had their chance. now it is the dems turn to handle the responsibility.
ymmv
be well
