do you think that they won't find similar BS upon which to base similarly, uh, baseless attacks (congressional/senatorial "inquiries") as soon as he assumes office.

did you ever read Liberty Under Siege, by Walter Karp?

they went after Bert Lance almost immediately after Carter took office, starting the pug tactic of endless investigation/scandalmongering that carried over to WJC.

Additionally, DINOs like Scoop Jackson, Jim Wright, and Tip ONeill foiled Carter at every turn, from the getgo, even keeping his VERY FIRST appointment (DCIA) from reaching the Senate floor for a vote, despite having a filibusterproof majority.

media will turn on Kerry just as they did on Clinton....just watch

I only hope they get a chance to turn on President Kerry, after they've sharpened their teeth on candidate Kerry.

Meanwhile, I don't see Kerry doing what he needs to do: speak over the heads of the media handmaidens, just as Carter should have done while he had his narrow window of opportunity to do so, right after he took office. He didn't realize, though, that his own party leadership was against him, cause he wanted to rock the boat with such outlandish programs as enery conservation/independence and campaign finance reform, the two cornerstones of his presidency.

that book is a real eye-opener, and demonstrates why Nader/Greens make the point they do about the similarities between the parties

NOT, to be sure, that now's the time to support a Nader candidacy
