Bull and Groans

Enough. I am not entirely on the Kerry band wagon. Kudos to those of you who rightfully challenge him and any other candidates on their voting records, their policy priorities and their stand on the issues. I respect those who fear that this or that candidate may be a product or an enabler of the "establishment" or a corporate shill. But the Skull N Bones stuff has got to stop. We know that there are well connected people in all walks of life. EVERY, and I do mean EVERY, one of our candidates is in some way "connected." THey all have relationships that may belie what we belive should be untainted motives. That's the game folks. But to believe that some childish involvement in a fraternity from some 30 years ago is a peek under the engine at some elitist tribe of dominion is wild. First of all, they don't need the involvement of Skull and Bones to be corpora-war profiteers gone wild. How many PNACers are Skull N Bonesmen? Even more importantly, how many Skull N Bonesmen took bullets in Nam? Doesn't seem his elitist Bonemen friends did as much good for him as they did for Shrub? Kinda funny, no?

I am sick of this type of character assassination. It makes commenting on argyle sweaters and post caucus screams seem mature.

There are many ill contrived and ill intentioned relationships in Washington and elsewhere. Focus on those. Focus on Kerry's votes, his policy, etc. Leave the skulls and bones in the closet

A Skull N Bones thread sinking like a rock!

2. Yes - enough!

Stop pretending that Kerry's membership with a group that financed Hitler, terrorized Cuba, and counts the entire Bush family as members isn't a big deal. Especially since he always answer "no comment" when asked. What's the big secret, Kerry?

Some of us care about democracy, and aren't willing to hand it over to a bunch of wanna-be plutocrats.

The fact that Bush and Kerry are members is going to make a GREAT Green Party commerical come the general election. Ignore at your own risk.

3. There's a lot of groups that qualify...

Shall we play six degrees of Disney now?

This is a classic case of the fallacy known as Guilt by Association. It also reeks of Poisoning the Well.
