The Bush, Nader, Cheney team began their simultaneous assault on the Democratic front runners yesterday, using almost identical language, accusing the Democrats of hypocrisy for voting for the War Powers Act and the Patriot Act and then saying they are against them. An 8-year old could figure out that we were all "had" by the Bush administration. He used and manipulated our fears and exploited our emotions in the post-9/11 period to further his right-wing extremist agenda. Now that the facts are slowly surfacing, the Democrats are speaking out against all the Bush right-wing extremist policies. That does not make us hypocrites. It just makes us human. We were all brought up to believe that a president wouldn't lie to us. He said Saddam was a threat and many believed him. We should consider what views the candidates have NOW. We should not listen to lazy opportunists who have done nothing in three years to fight against the Bush right-wing extremist policies and merely step in, in the final hours, to gain a few minutes in the spotlight. It is one hell of a price that the world will have to pay, just to give a self-righteous opportunist fifteen minutes of fame.
