Reply #16: Did you watch the debate the other night? [View All]

It seems to me that every candidate, with the possible exception of Lieberman, DID call Bush a liar, at least as concerns Iraq.

They don't need to spend campaign cash on that, at least not yet. It's too early, and they all are concentrating on winning the nomination. A natural part of that is they need to show their differences with their primary opponents. Since most agree on Bush's lies and deceptions, they can't use that as a reason to vote for them as opposed to the other guys.

The campaign against Gore was somewhat effective because it came during the general election campaign, and stayed fresh in voters' minds.

It's fun to watch them all up there attacking Bush, but it would be more helpful if they spent as much time explaining just how they would handle the situation as President. Several have, some haven't.

While the Bush lies are certainly campaign issues, their real use will be next year. The main question is "WHO do we want delivering the message?"
