Is it safe to assume that the Heinz-Kerry apology is another diversion?

[devilgrrl]

I'm sure this has been brought up, I just haven't bothered reading the posts because I figured it was just another mountain out of a mole hill, like the Mary Cheney charade.

From what I read this morning, Laura said the apology was not necessary at all. I was a bit impressed with the civility of it all, but the person who is mucking up the waters is none other than Karen Hughes.

3. Complete repelling diversion

How many dead civilians in Iraq?

Yet A. Brown spends half of his news hour devoted to several elderly Jewish people (don't get me wrong, I was moved) stranded in Baghdad, and thier rescue attempts to Israel.

The whole Pat Robertson thing was probably planned...they did it in 2000. Think about it. Robertson takes the moral stand, the evangelicals look to him for moral support in an immoral war, and he gets the chance to tell them...don't worry. I warned him. But vote for Bush anyway.

Republicans can't even take a compliment.

5. One way to gauge these things is to ask yourself. . .

was I concerned about this issue a month ago? If you weren't, chances are very good the issue is a side show diversion, meant to put the focus of the electorate somewhere other than the issues people should be concerned about.

And all due respect to each candidate's wife, I'm not voting for the spouse, I'm casting a vote for the ideas and commitments of the candidate, so what other family members say and do is of minimal importance at this stage of the campaign.

7. was asked at lunch if I thought this would sway the election in *'s favor

the woman is a nice person, but she knows I support Kerry, and she supports Bush.

She came up and asked me if I thought the horrible thing THK said about laura would swing the election in bush's favor. I just looked at her and said "you DO realize she apologized?"
"I don't care about that, answer the question"
"you don't care if she apologized?...er....well, I think its pretty insignificant compared to an unjust war in Iraq, torturing Irai prisoners, health car...."
"no, no, no, not all that other crap, just answer the question"

I paused, considering.....

"I think that if people are small-minded enough to think this is important, then for them it will be an important point in the election."

She smiled and walked off, thinking she had cornered me into something, not realizing I'd just called her small minded.

8. Next time, be less subtle

Tell her quite clearly "How DARE YOU demand that I answer your questions. Why do you and the terrorists hate our freedoms?"

9. well, as I said, normally she's a nice lady...

that I joke around with quite a bit. I couldn't see really tearing into her.
