Are you people watching Frontline?!?!?!
Tonight's presentation goes through both Kerry and Bush's history. Kerry has been fighting these facist fuckers for decades. Total bomshell. It should have come out a week ago.

2. Actually
It's a rerun and was on a few weeks ago. The Freepers condemned it then also. Very powerful Frontline.

6. the fascists have kicked our ass up one side
and down the other

they have gotten clean away with virtually every slimy scam and outrage they have attempted. We HAVE to get them out of our system.

I'm waiting until Wednesday or Thursday, win or lose tomorrow, to raise a call to action on the neocons. First things first.

4. This must be what I was hearing on NPR earlier today
Great documentary, from what I heard. Really contrasted Kerry's idealism and activism with Bush's narcissism. One man got into politics because he believed in things and wanted to change things, the other got into politics because it was the family's source of power and influence.

7. One thing that just pissed me off!!!
There was a clip of Kerry speaking to the Senate just before his vote on the Iraq war. He was saying the very things he has been saying on the campaign trail about his objections and concerns about the war.
He said back in June of 2002 that the only reason he was voting for the Iraq war authority was to disarm the Iraq regime and destroy the WMDs but that he had grave concerns because the administration had not given the Congress any plan for handling Iraq after Saddam was toppled. In other words, the Bush administration (led by Rove) have been painting Kerry as a "flip-flopper" on Iraq when, in fact, he leveled the same concerns about the administrations mishandling of Iraq since 2002. Why the hell didn't the Kerry campaign put together an ad that showed this clip followed by Kerry's campaign statements and criticisms about the Iraq war. THEY ARE THE SAME. Yet Kerry and his campaign allowed the Rovian label to go virtually unchallenged. I am pissed because I am sure there are significant number of voters out there who believe those Rovian snip ads that made Kerry look and sound like a "flip-flopper."

This was really a terrific program. After watching it you just have to end up a Kerry supporter unless you are brain-dead.

8. It was broadcast here last week....
and my whole family watched it. I was struck by the fact that the Kerry history was about Kerry, while the *Bush history was largely about his daddy. I thought the film was entirely too kind to Shrub.

I wish more people had seen it. The Repubs I know who need to see it, would never in a million years watch or believe anything they saw on PBS regarding politics.
