Ring wing Smear tactics in full force b/c rule 21 could 'help' bring the truth to fruition?

And it doesn't matter 'who' enacted rule 21, republican's are mad because it's bringing the public eye onto matters that they wish to have kept 'secret' by stalling and diverting attention away from some serious issues that could lead to impeachment and criminal convictions within the republican lead government, at the same time put them a limelight of which would be most unfavorable to voter's in the near future.

And in retailiation to that beautiful metaphorical chess move, they attack back once again by lock and loading their ammo full of negative words such as 'hijack' (as if the opposition were terrorists or enemies) and taking pot shots at the opposition once again by saying "This was a political stunt to get headlines today to bring people out to talk about it,".

Nothing like using diversion tactics once again, or giving the republican voter's some ammunition (weak n comparison to what the opposition has on them) to run with when it's time to debate their fellow neighbours.

Let's divulge into what "it" really is. Frist appears to use the term 'it' to cover up the topic democrats are itching to bring to the surface.

The 'it' is pre-Iraq war intelligence, the 'it' is an investigation into the outing of a cia operative (spy) who by law wasn't to have her identity disclosed to the general public, which by the way is punishable by law up to 10 years in prison.

The big 'it' within the pre-iraq war intelligence was wilson's defiance and failing to agree to forged documents about Niger having enriched uranium, and even after him visiting with officials and government leaders in niger and denouncing the idea that they could of sold yellow cake to iraq, bush and his colleagues still went on pre-war campaigns talking about the 'imminent threat iraq poses to America' and scaring us with words like 'mushroom cloud over america'...

Condi, Powell, Cheney, McClellan, and Bush have all participated in this pre war campaign. And even after Wilson went to Niger and came back with a 'no it's not possible' answer Bush still mentions the threat in his state of the union address!

George Tenant even resigned over this issue, Powell regrets going before the UN and reading pre-written 'points of ''fact"'? about Iraq having enriched uranium.

Isn't the republican party for smaller government, open government, and stand by a low tolerance level policy for secrecy? Or does that only count when the shoe is on the other foot?

So instead of using this debate as a democrat vs republican struggle for power, let's stick to the issue at hand.

Rule 21 is creating a smear campagin by the republicans against the democrats in order to keep attention off the real issues at hand that could incriminate them. True of False?

Its all about politics, Truelies both side use it and exploit it.

During the 2002 elections the Republican party marketed their campaign in such a way that won them the control they have now in congress occurs with the help of some money from private sources, [insert tom delay here and war on terror]

Now this we are reaching that time again 2006 is around the corner, are we going to let the Republican market again to keep control or are the Democrats going to stop them in their tracks, [insert birth flu scare here]

If the Democrat have not learn their lesson yet they would be in trouble but yesterday it shows that they have learned their lesson and they are not going to be suckers once again.

I would like to elaborate on to that little tid bit with points of fact.
Lies, character assasination, and fear.

With the repetition throughout the rn convention in nyc regarding the threat of terrorism, and the rehashing of the dramatic events of 9/11, tugging on the emotional strings of the American public was a sure way to win them over, as bush was there right after the attacks claiming we'd find the terrorists who committed those acts and bring them to justice.

If the Democrat have not learn their lesson yet they would be in trouble but yesterday it shows that they have learned their lesson and they are not going to be suckers once again.

Let's keep in mind these democrats are just as big of drama queens as the republicans. I applaud the democrats for growing a backbone, I hope this isn't the last I see because this admin needs to be held accountable, and we need prosecutor's who aren't afraid to stand up to the big whigs in the office, like that pansy Fitzpatrick.
