In this post below, I begged Democrats to stop whining and to start engaging in honest debate, and the typical response from those on the left was akin to this comment:
“Gosh, John, you’re right; it’s all over. We should just vote for Nader, stop our bitchin’ and moanin’, and manfully handle this devastating insight into our candidate’s honesty, decision-making & voting record.”
Not at all. Just have your candidate stop lying and have him actually defend his record. Every time Kerry is asked a question about his record, he avoids any response and immediately launches into a salvo about how bad Bush is. The Gibson interview was a prime example- every time he was asked a question, he tap-danced for a moment and tried to bring up Bush’s Vietnam record.
Another thing- can you guys officially stop overlooking everything said by that walking, talking, piece of bile that you call the DNC Chairman? After his laughable cries to have the ‘Republican attack dogs’ called off yesterday, McAuliffe dove back into the DNC cesspool and started trying to spread this vile new meme:
Democrats began a weeklong attack on Vice President Dick Cheney’s record yesterday, with party chief Terry McAuliffe calling him “the last guy who should be lecturing John Kerry” and a Democrat-leaning group suggesting that Mr. Cheney’s wife became pregnant to help her husband avoid serving in Vietnam…
Mr. McAuliffe then questioned Mr. Cheney’s personal qualifications.
“You remember Dick Cheney,” he said. “When John Kerry was risking his life for his country in Vietnam, Dick Cheney was getting deferments because, in his words, he had ‘other priorities than military service.’ “
Let’s just make sure we have the facts straight. When the Republicans mention the effects of Kerry’s no vote on a military spending bill, they are ‘questioning his patriotism.’ When Democrats claim that Cheney knocked up his wife in order to avoid Viet Nam, it is substantive debate.
I am sick of the way Democrats and the left get a free pass. Rush Limbaugh says something about Chelsea Clinton looking like a dog and every Republican in the world is tarred with guilt by association. The SELECTED AND ELECTED leader of the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE runs around making comments like this and worse, ad no one cares.
