Default McCain in '08

by "gatt" Jul 12, 2006 at 05:38 PM



Character assassination is not a sole tactic of the left wing. The combat

service records of Murtha, Kerry and McCain were all attacked by the
right.
I value the integrity of my own political standards which is why I was
also
royally ****ed when -some- of the left was accusing GHWB of cowardice for

bailing out of his aircraft.

It's a cheap shot; accusing somebody of cowardice in combat during a life
or
death struggle in which the accuser was never close to any similar
situation. Unfortunately, it's a tactic employed by contemptable and
embarrassing elements of both the left -and- right



I agree. This is where our politics is. It started with the Robert Bork
SCOTUS hearings, and was perfected by the Clintonistas. Now, many members
of both parties attack each other, rather than debate ideas. Its sad,
actually....
