Nash, I could be wrong. I have always said Dubya was a puppet. Rove's likely got a deniability shell installed around him.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Then it comes down to yet another question of either stupidity or complicity.

How many passes does this arse get?

Personally, I think it has always been both.

I think it's a lot of column A, and a smattering of column B.

Cop to what? That partisans support groups that may be of help to their POV?  Okay.

You said 'nope' to GH question on whether you believe that MoveOn was part of Kerry's machine. But you seem perfectly happy to believe that swift vets cannot possibly have a similar status.  

Now you cop to 527's on either end of the political spectrum showing that anyone's holier than thou attitude is ridiculous when criticizing the 527's on the opposite end.

The head of the swift boats vets said that if Bush had personally asked them to stop the ad, they wouldn't have.


I believe they are about as independent as MoveOn, and are exercising their 1st ammendment rights for pretty much the same reasons. What if Carl Rove had asked them? It's still a case of having your cake and eating it too.

We have a WINNAH!

This is all simply riduckyewlooseness.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Politics have always been hardball. You'll never win by whining, you win by playing smarter and harder if necessary.
