C-SPAN: Bush to go on attack early...
Well, somethings never change. Rather than tout the "accomplishments",
(?, what accomplishments, the bush administration will begin bringing out hypocrisy charges against Dem's.

This truly is Bizzaro World. I have sneaking suspicion, this will not play well in GOP circles; and you know, we will be going ballistic.

This is incredible. Brian Lamb, saying they are taking up the Clinton model against Dole.

Say buh-bye george.

1. No, It's All About The Big Lie, Spend Months Talking Down The Democrats
and the sheeple will believe anything.

What do you think Karl Rove has planned with the 200 to 300 million re-selection fund?

This is all part of a "big brother" approach to politics.

The end of 1984 says it all.

George Orwell, 1984

From the end of part 3 chapter six

Snip ......

The trumpet-call had let loose an enormous volume of noise. Already an excited voice was gabbling from the telescreen, but even as it started it was almost drowned by a roar of cheering from outside. The news had run round the streets like magic. He could hear just enough of what was issuing from the telescreen to realize that it had all happened, as he had foreseen; a vast seaborne armada had secretly assembled a sudden blow in the enemy's rear, the white arrow tearing across the tail of the black. Fragments of triumphant phrases pushed themselves through the din: 'Vast strategic manoeuvre -- perfect co-ordination -- utter rout -- half a million prisoners -- complete demoralization -- control of the whole of Africa -- bring the war within measurable distance of its end victory -- greatest victory in human history -- victory, victory, victory!'

Under the table Winston's feet made convulsive movements. He had not stirred from his seat, but in his mind he was running, swiftly running, he was with the crowds outside, cheering himself deaf. He looked up again at the portrait of Big Brother. The colossus that bestrode the world! The rock against which the hordes of Asia dashed themselves in vain! He thought how ten minutes ago -- yes, only ten minutes -- there had still been equivocation in his heart as he wondered whether the news from the front would be of victory or defeat. Ah, it was more than a Eurasian army that had perished! Much had changed in him since that first day in the Ministry of Love, but the final, indispensable, healing change had never happened, until this moment.

The voice from the telescreen was still pouring forth its tale of prisoners and booty and slaughter, but the shouting outside had died down a little. The waiters were turning back to their work. One of them approached with the gin bottle. Winston, sitting in a blissful dream, paid no attention as his glass was filled up. He was not running or cheering any longer. He was back in the Ministry of Love, with everything forgiven, his soul white as snow. He was in the public dock, confessing everything, implicating everybody. He was walking down the white-tiled corridor, with the feeling of walking in sunlight, and an armed guard at his back. The longhoped-for bullet was entering his brain.

He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.

The End

2. The article Brian is reading from says
That they will bring out a particular candidate's 32 year history. I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Do they have the nerve to talk about the history of someone who *was* a productive member of society while Bush* was in a drunken stupor. I'd love to see those histories side by side.

3. Same thing I went through...
this will backfire, and I think even bush's base will be disgusted at this obvious charade.

These guys will try anything to get re-elected, and the more desperate they are...the more they will show how dangerous they are. You'd think that the worst administration in American history would have at least ONE thing to crow about.

They are looting the WH now, knowing that they will be out on the street in Jan.
