What a hoot! Did you hear Gore's speech a few weeks ago where he screamed, "He betrayed our country! He played on our fears!"
How about Wesley Clark explicitly attacking Bush's patriotism, something that Democrats frequently charge against Republicans but can rarely back up with actual citations?
How about the last several months of the Democrat primaries where candidates went so far as to accuse Bush of having prior knowledge of 9-11 and doing nothing to stop it.
How about John "Bring It On" Kerry calling the Bush administration a bunch of crooks and liars? He then whines like a pansy when someone actually points out his voting record in the Senate.
Perhaps you don't see those things as nasty, but I disagree.
The original questions remain. Who do you think Osama Bin Laden hopes will win in November? Whose victory will make Al Queda rest easier? How about the Mullahs in Iran and the tyrants in North Korea?
Those questions aren't nasty. They're some of the central questions of this year's election, at least to those of us who see the fight against terrorism as more important than the universal health care, economic protectionism, and tax increases Kerry is pushing.
