That really pales in comparison ThiChi
I mean .. "what car he drives" compared to the sheer scale of incompetence and corruption shown by Bush.

The above attacks on Bush are skewed and biased. The issues can be debated and won. But how do you deal with a liar like Kerry? (Flip-flops).
Even the Liberals say he must go.........

John Kerry Must Go

WASHINGTON, D.C.? With the air gushing out of John Kerry's balloon, it may be only a matter of time until political insiders in Washington face the dread reality that the junior senator from Massachusetts doesn't have what it takes to win and has got to go. As arrogant and out of it as the Democratic political establishment is, even these pols know the party's got to have someone to run against George Bush. They can't exactly expect the president to self-destruct into thin air.
With growing issues over his wealth (which makes fellow plutocrat Bush seem a charity case by comparison), the miasma over his medals and ribbons (or ribbons and medals), his uninspiring record in the Senate (yes war, no war), and wishy-washy efforts to mimic Bill Clinton's triangulation gimmickry (the protractor factor), Kerry sinks day by day. The pros all know that the candidate who starts each morning by having to explain himself is a goner.
What to do? Look for the Dem biggies, whoever they are these days, to sit down with the rich and arrogant presumptive nominee and try to persuade him to take a hike. Then they can return to business as usual?resurrecting John Edwards, who is still hanging around, or staging an open convention in Boston, or both.
If things proceed as they are, the dim-bulb Dem leaders are going to be very sorry they screwed Howard Dean.

You've got to be joking ThiChi. Discrepencies on what cars he owns does not compare to Bush's track record.

I couldn't see anything in there to skew or bias. It's all stuff that's either true or untrue. And I'm pretty sure it's all a matter of public record, stuff anyone could find out.

I find it funny that American politics now seems to consist almost entirely of personal attacks. If one person says something about Bush, someone will come back with a response about Kerry, regardless of whether the first prson claimed to be a Democrat. Aren't there any issues or do you just shout "liberal" and "conservative" at each other all day?
