Why does the Democratic Party leadership lie about Republicans?

[ConsAreLiars]

Did Gore really not know about PNAC and the neocons during his campaign?
Maybe he really did not know who he was fighting, maybe, but I have to think at least a little "opposition research" had been done. If he would not tell the truth about them, being advised that that that kind of "class war" stuff would cost him in corporate money, then he really could not become a true fighter or leader. More recently he has spoken more honestly, but during the campaign he never truly told us who he was fighting against and what he was fighting for.

Did Kerry really not know about PNAC and the neocons during his campaign? That is impossible. But he only gave the vaguest of hints, instead of exposing them for what they are and what they are doing.

Is it money? Is it "campaign strategy." Is it just the case that the difference between the party leaderships is merely that they are two members of the same tag team (good cop and bad cop) and serve the same master in different ways, promising social control through carrots or sticks? Or are they just totally unaware of what is really happening and just playing the same old game by the same old rules?

1. The Dems need good campaign managers. The ones Gore and

Kerry got were horrible. Every time Gore had a debate, a different person showed up. The journalists later said they disliked Gore, so did everything they could to put him down and push * up. * apparently was a fun guy on that airplane.

As for Kerry, all he had to say was he would not vote for the Iraq invasion today. But no, he had to stay the course and couldn't go after the illegal invasion.

4. I don't have an "inside view" of how things work at the top.

You think it is just a matter of opting for the wrong (DLC-ish) strategy? Deciding that telling the truth is a bad tactic in terms of polling numbers and such? I thought/hoped that was true with Clinton and that he would act a bit more like Roosevelt than Eisenhower, but it still has not happened with him.

2. Pay no attention to the little man behind the screen.

You will now be automatically returned to our regular programming.

3. since we didn't close off our rallies, I'm sure they didn't want to come

across as tin-hatters...I also think that the rabid right wing voters do want to be the policemen of the world...(I just think they haven't thought it through clearly and asked themselves, which people would be the ones getting blown up and shot, well us of course) I don't believe the largest donors to Gore or Kerry were war profiters...

By the way, when Gore was speaking here to only Democrates, he did mention them

5. I think the * people are so far right, that anything the Democrats do

does look way out there. These creeps have changed normal into insane.
