Nobody is going to believe that somehow Democrats are interested in the "high road," and only Republicans have been using "attack methods."

The most recent "AWOL" flap was instigated by Terry McAuliffe. Not some 527 group. The Democratic Party has been cheering at the sidelines while book after book is released attacking Bush--books that get the red carpet treatment from the media. Michael Moore was in the presidential box next to Carter at the Democratic convention. The anti-Bush 527s, financed to the tune of millions by anti-Bush billionaires, have been running ads on many TV stations for a long time now.

I could fill this page with the names Bush has been called, not by democraticunderground.com nutcases, but by Senators, representatives, and major influential figures. Liar. Deserter. Betrayer.

George W. Bush has been subjected to an endless barrage of criticism and outright abuse for months. Now Democrats are getting their knickers in a twist?

When Democrats start complaining about nasty politics, it usually means someone besides them is finally getting a few licks in.

This recent cartoon is typical leftist thinking. "Of COURSE Bush's National Guard service should be a major campaign issue! It's HIGHLY relevant! Isn't it OBVIOUS? But Kerry's service being examined? What the HELL can Republicans be thinking?"
