That’s the question though, WHAT is a fact worth looking at?
Just an example, Kerry has had a LOT of votes which show he is pretty much anti-military spending. Please don't show me the ones he voted for (or who gave him money hehe)we are talking about a long term trend. Now the military is a pretty big issue right now, so is that an issue to bring up or is it 'mud slinging'.
Also based on what the left has charged Bush with, everything from being a deserter, to going to war for Halliburton, to even some saying purposefully allowing the WTC to be attacked, this is only going to get very ugly. Worse its not just some fringe elements but ELECTED members of the democrat party saying these things. As such you can expect this whole election to be nothing but one liners and distortion.
Right now the economy is doing pretty damn good and unemployment is quite low by all historical standards. You know you won't hear a single democrat (outside of Zell Miller) admit to it, and you also know they will do their best to distort this.
On the Republican side, you can expect Kerry to be painted as the biggest liberal since McGovern and not to be trusted in troubled times. Ramsey Clark's endorsement the other day isn't going to help him there any
. Republicans will be sure to state that Kerry never met a tax increase he didn't like, is palls with Jane Fonda, and whatever else you care to put in.
I did come into some relief the other day though. While I think Kerry is unqualified to lead a boy scout troop, I don't fear him as president anymore, at least not domestically. If you take a good look at the congress, the senate, and who's seats are up for grabs you will know why I feel this way
On the other hand, if he does win, who wants to bet the press starts to talk about the lack of federal judges and how the republican senate is holding them up, something they can’t seem to see right now.
