51. It's Always "Personal" Attacks Against Democrats, Isn't It?
The GOP and their media cronies always are eager to get away from issues and policies where they lose.

And so phony issues of "character" (George H. Bush's choice word against Clinton in 1992) and personal traits are the way the Republicans change the argument.

This crap about "Botox" against Kerry is just the same crap about "alpha male" they used against another Vietnam Veteran, Al Gore. It's to make them less manly...against the chickenhawks.

And, of course, it's not the policies Dean advocates, it's his "anger" and "temperament".

Kerry will always be more of a real man than George W. Bush can ever dream to be --- botox or no botox.
