Repubs & media getting away with portraying Dem. Candidates as hypocrites
It is daily being pointed out on TV that most of them voted for Bush's war and are now showing no taste for it. The Democratic candidates make themselves look like hypcrites when they talk against the war now, because they don't say they voted in favour of giving Bush permission to go to war BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED THE LIES TOLD TO THEM by the Bush administration, for going to war in the first place.
I don't mean to imply that any of them were hypocrites...I think they were sort of paralized by the fear of seeming unpatriotic so they voted yes....but I just mean now...after the fact, I wish they would explain this is why they voted yes to Bush....Don't you think the American people would understand?...Otherwise it seems to me their credibility is being gradually whittled away, day by day.....I'm asking this as a non-American who is praying that ANY Democrat beats Bush in 2004!

1. Eh, that's the pot calling the kettle black, no?
Who would know more about hypocrisy than the whore press and the Republican Party. Remember when Orrin Hatch, who could never shut up about Clinton's immorality during the Lewinsky affair, endorsed Arnold, the Groper? Now, that's hypocrisy!

If we don't get rid of Bush in 2004, it will be because another election was stolen, no other reason. I live in a Republican area and find that Bush is losing popularity here. I have spoken to many who voted for him in 2000 who won't in the next election. Keep your fingers crossed.
