For some odd reason, I'm watching the GOP debate
Edited on Sun Aug-05-07 10:01 AM by Neecy
It's on ABC.

Abortion, gay marriage, the same tired act.

Everyone except Ron Paul warmongering, fearmongering, advocating for endless war.

Attacking the Democrats in almost every breath in false and nasty ways.

Rudy is now copping directly from Lieberman's interview with Salon - such a close quote it's pretty much plagarism.

Lieberman: I worry that whoever gets the Democratic nomination will have a hard time scampering back to assure people that they're prepared to take on the Islamist extremists and other nation that threatens our security.

Salon: Turning to another thing --

Lieberman: They don't use that. You'll have to check it. But they don't use the term "Islamist extremism" or "Islamist terrorism" in the debates.

Salon: Are you saying it's "political correctness" on the part of the Democrats?

Lieberman: You've got to acknowledge the problem.


Today:

Rudy: If you listened to the Democratic debate, you never heard them use the words "Islamic terrorism". It's just political correctness.

Nice that Lieberman gives Republicans debating tips to attack Democrats, isn't it?

After watching just half an hour of this, as pissed as I am at my party today they'll never be as loathesome as this ship of fools.

3. Not watching... but am guessing that nearly every policy
discussed by each candidate is exactly the same as the current bush policy - which will make it easier in the general election to equate the candidate to bush and more of the same. It isn't the president that the populace dislikes so much... IT IS HIS POLICIES. And these clowns don't get it.
