4. Cause they're dumb and don't bother researching?

Foley used to be a Dem many moons ago, but that's no excuse for their ignorance, unless it's being done on purpose. I can't imagine many people are buying it though.

32. I know, but the question is what actually made it to the printed paper...

My bet is "D-Florida" in at least one edition.

Gotta catapult the propaganda. This also shows how easy to is to "fool" (if indeed they are foold and don't have Freepers in the copy room changing files before they go to "print" ) that Laughingstock of the World, Imperial Amerikan Corporate TV Pravda.

26. Check out the wording of the article in question:

...

If you can find a politician who understands the institution of the family, who wants to protect children from immorality, who understands that we are at war with those who want to destroy us and who understand that liberal judges are undermining us and need to be reined in," Dobson said, "and if you can find a politician who lives by a strong moral code and believes in Jesus Christ ... if you can find such a person, it would be a sin not to vote for him."

He said he wasn't telling supporters whom they should vote for - Focus on the Family can't legally do that with its nonprofit status - but that he was urging them to be guided by their values when they vote.

Dobson also said he has been "very irritated and disappointed with the Republican Party" and that GOP candidates whom "values voters" helped elect in 2004 have "sat on their majorities and not used them productively."

He touched on the uproar over former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, D-Florida, who resigned Friday in a scandal over electronic messages he sent to former teenage male congressional pages.

"Neither party has a cornerstone on morality," he said.

...

It was cleverly worded so that the sense of the article depends on whether Foley is listed as as D-Florida or R-Florida.

23. Well, the AP Style Book requires "D" when using the terms

... 'scandal,' 'gay,' 'resigned,' 'cover-up,' and 'sex.' They've computerized the Style Book and it apparently has some bugs that let "R" slip through.

28. The DNC should sue for defamation

drag this shit out longer.

Expose the MSM for what they are. Ruin their credibility (actually: help them ruin their own credibility in the eyes of those who stil believe them).

This is like the reputation of the GOP is drowning and each of them that goes out to rescue it gets sucked down.

36. Did you know Arlen Specter's a Democrat too?

Google "arlen specter (d)"

"Buried in this year’s $373 billion spending bill is the annual reauthorization of the Lautenberg Amendment—now known as the Specter Amendment after its new principle sponsor, Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA)."

This seems to be fairly common.

Hahahaha even Hastert got his D, isn't that a convenient mistake? Hahaha oh these guys are good!
Really, is that the proud free press of the US? Deplorable.

edit: Now the Dems should make this the topic until the election. No fair play, no mercy. After all, it has to be done until everybody knows that these two are Repubs ;).
