This campaign season is depressing me.

Convention visits to the World Trade Center site... Fenced protest zones (on both sides, yes I know)... Purple heart *BAND-AIDS*... If I see one more misleading/patronizing TV ad, I think I might puke. Anyone else find any of this incredibly offensive, or am I all alone? Glad to get this off my chest, even if no one agrees with me! ;-)

For once, we agree!
I wouldn't go that far, but I would say that I am less than enthusiastic about the choices.
In a recent column Democratic strategist Susan Estrich called the President of the United States and the Vice President of the United States alcoholics.
Senator Harkin said Thursday that President Bush lied about his National Guard service, and lied about the War In Iraq; and last month Sen. Harkin called Vice-President Cheney a "coward."
Just this week former Vice President Al Gore compared President Bush's personal faith to the radical impulses of fundamentalist Islam. Earlier this year he implied that campaigners for the President are Nazis by calling them 'brownshirts.'
Next week, NBC's "Today Show" will be featuring, over three consecutive days, Democrat-donor Kitty Kelley's book, which promises to throw unsubstantiated gossip at President Bush in the same way she falsely maligned the late President Reagan as a date rapist who paid for a girlfriend's abortion and wrongly castigated Nancy Reagan as an adulterer who had an affair with Frank Sinatra. And I don't think we even have to go down the Michael Moore path, or the Teresa Heinz Kerry road where everyone has to wear their "asses of evil" pins.
Tell me again, which side would you rather listen to?
Hear, hear!
News Flash!!! The Dems aren't just now getting into dirty politics. It just seems that way to those whose bias' run so deep. I guess with Kitty Kelly and the questioning of the authenticity of documents along with the widow and son of the supposed writer of these documents and the daughter of what's his name that is behind all this stating that her dad told her that he was going to do such a thing, and that he has a book coming out soon... well I guess it is getting hard for some to realize that their party does stoop so low.
Actually, just FYI, NBC (home of the Today Show) is owned by GE, a huge defense contractor and major contributor to the Republican party.....
My point was that I'm sick of ALL the nonsense. (Although I can't stop myself from pointing out that I thought it was a matter of fact that President Bush - like my DH - IS a recovering alcoholic. Am I wrong? Wasn't this discussed in the 2000 campaign?) My point is that, just once, I'd like the media and the candidates and the campaign staff to talk about something that will really make a difference. And it would be nice if they could do it all at once.
