If I remember properly, Bush gained the presidency on the promise that he would restore integrity to the White House.
If Gore hadn't suffered the backlash from the public's having been subjected to incessant media coverage of Clinton's troubles, he would have won by enough to take Florida easily.
Here's where I find the "liberal media" complaint to be implausible. The media have never hounded Bush like they hounded either Clinton or Gore, even if they tend to couch their reporting in terminology that sounds more liberal than conservative.
But ultimately, the demise of the Democratic party during the last two elections was Bill Clinton's fault for doing such an extremely stupid thing that gave his enemies the means to take over. I have to place the responsibility squarely on Clinton's shoulders for that.
Best wishes,
Jerry

Great! I guess sometimes he does come to the center!jGilder wrote:Bush's lie was bi-partisan -- he deceived both parties equally.Lorenzo wrote:You shouldn't use the term "Bush invaded Iraq" when you know, according to the vote summary, it was the decision of both the Democrats and Republicans.
Oh, and I forgot to finish the equation..."and Intelligence got snookered by Saddam." I think he fooled everyone into thinking he had WMD (except Ralph Nadar).
EDIT NOTE: and Saddam got snookered by that other 3rd world country that gave him all those placebos.

Still waiting, IRTrad. I am open to any information you would care to present. I promise I'll read it respectfully and if I can offer a serious response, I'll do so.
Again, please provide information. I'm willing to be pursuaded, and sometimes those who post here do convince me to change my mind.
As I've commented to JGilder, if you are sincere about your point of view, you'll take the trouble to use a respectful tone and try to convince others. If you're not serious about your point of view, you'll use tactics that can only get your discussion partners angry at you and turn them off to everything you're trying to say.
So the question is, as I've asked others before you, what's your objective here?
Best wishes,
Jerry

Sorry, bait not taken. YOU try disproving negative. YOU made the accusations of lying re: Condi Rice, so go ahead, prove it. Then when you do, mail it off to Harry Reid, (D-NV) and Nancy Pelosi, (D-CA) and see what response they give your "proof".Jerry Freeman wrote:*drums fingers*

Well, I guess it depends on how far LEFT you really are, then.
Apparently you've never heard of Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw?

What's interesting is that the testimony that Powell referred to in front of the UN Security Council, (when he made his case for war,) left out some important details. Kammal, Saddam's son-in-law who was in charge of Iraq's weapons programs, had defected to Lebanon and met with US intelligence providing them with an affidavit on everything about Iraq's weapons. This information was utilized during the inspections, but what Kammal said, (that Powell conveniently left out,) was that Saddam had ordered all the weapons destroyed so the US wouldn't have a pretext for invasion. The US knew they wouldn't find any weapons -- that's why they halted the weapons search and fixed the intelligence. The memo is further proof that they knew their WMD claim couldn't be proven so they had to cut and run in order to move forward their true objective.Lorenzo wrote:Oh, and I forgot to finish the equation..."and Intelligence got snookered by Saddam."

Good man! I presented this evidence on a couple of threads in here and it made the right-wingers toes curl. Then they went into shock, but after a while finally managed to regain their composure with shameless outright denial. It was a sight to behold.Father Emmet wrote:Take a moment to look into this friendly organization, fouded in '97:
