Then of course the Democrats started out with attack after attack after attack. The GOP was late in the game with the attack ads. If a bully comes up to you, and starts punching you in the face, do you sit there and take it or fight back? This is the only reason Bush and the GOP came out with attacks. The Democrats have to attack since they have no other means for political gain. The Democrats are very dirty, very manipulative, and not a single attack ad holds water. They have to compare totally unrelated clips to manipulate the audience to believing Bush is unqualified. Fahrenlie 911 is a perfect example. And if you believe Fahrenlie, then you'll believe anything and it would be a waste of time explaining. So I apologize, but I found this comment to be insulting, because Republicans are much more insightful and informed, and therefore do not have to attack.
