Good stuff.

2. Yeah. One's a principled hero.
The other is an unprincipled failure... at everything. And obviously a cokehead.

Stupid Don Evans... what a freakin liar.

10. Bush was the frat president of...
the fraternity that was known as "Animal House" at Yale.

Says a lot about him.

7. Geez, the shrub was even more disgusting when he was younger.
When that image of Lee Atwater came on, I almost vomited.

Born again, my ass. No one who is born again could speak about a political opponent (Dukakis) with such venom and hatred.

9. Hard to believe, isn't it?
But I think if you watch the program, you are very likely to come to the same conclusion.

Now, they are talking about the shrub-Rove campaign for Texas Gov. vs. Ann Richards. Truly nasty stuff.

13. Freakin' disgusting liar.
They just went through the nasty sh** he pulled on McCain in 2000.

Funny how the shrub was a lot tougher with McCain, than he ever was with Kerry.

14. It's tough watching this, knowing the between the lines
and NOT hearing it - Harken, Rangers baseball, all of it. This is the kind of stuff people NEED to know, and aren't hearing it.

15. Yes, just hearing Kerry's warnings pre-Iraq is amazing.
He predicted EXACTLY what has happened.

26. That's right. They are just alluding to it but they don't state anything.
Them mentioned the land for the ballpark was seized and that the stadium was built with taxpayer money and that Bush made a $10 million profit in two years, but they leave so much out. Still, what they managed to get in was very good if you're paying close attention.

20. Ann Richards and Hatfield
This is what Rove is capable of. The man is evil. He ruins lives and doesn't care. Combined with Bus and Cheney deadly.

What do you people think about Hughes?
Both she and Kay B. Hutchison were newscasters for Bush--source of bush wiring I bet.

24. I cannot believe this lying coward...McCain's an idiot for supporting him.
They did the same thing to McCain they did to Kerry. Allow SBV to attack then deny association--even seem to apologize after the damage was done. I can't find the words to describe how despicable he is. Why can't people see through the repeated trickery?

25. Now talking about 9/11--immediately before in May of '01 BushCo was
at a standstill...they had no momentum. Bush had not accomplished anything. They had lost control of Congress.


Verrry interesting.

27. Seeing Kerry more clearly
This was an excellent documentary, and I thought it was fair to both candidates. It really helped me gain a new appreciation for John Kerry. I've been supporting him, frankly, because he was the Anybody But Bush who'll be on the ballot. After seeing this documentary and learning more about his thoughtful, conscientious approach to life, and his long record of sincere public service, I am now enthusiastic about Kerry the man and Kerry the candidate.

It was also glaringly obvious how shallow and painfully inept Bush is by comparison.
