Are you seriously saying that?

It used to be that politics stopped at the water's edge. That is not the case anymore and I think we are worse off for it. READ my post, I didn't say the challenger couldn't challenge, and if done in the right manner, critism can be helpful. But its the hyperbolic houghing that is dismaying. "Bush Lied" - are you fucking kidding me. You should have a helluva a lot more evidence than they had if you are going to make this claim in war time on a war issue.
Nice Lloyd Bentsen by the way.
