You're an idiot!
Republicans think you're an idiot. There can be no other excuse for the way they lie. This morning, James Carville was on the "Today" show with Tucker Askew from the Bush campaign. Askew was throwing out all the "terrorism=nuisance", "global test", soundbites that are really an insult to people with any intelligence.

Does anyone really think Kerry would ask for permission from France to defend this country? The Bush campaign wants you to believe that. And they believe you will. Hence, they think you're an idiot.

Is there any other instance in life when people so willingly accept being lied to? Imagine this scenario: Red Sox manager Terry Francona holds a press conference. He's asked if beating the Yankees will make his season. He says, "Our ultimate goal is not to beat the Yankees. It's to win the World Series."

All of a sudden, someone else holds a press conference. "Terry Francona says his goal is not to beat the Yankees. We just think that's wrong. He has the wrong judgement and values to be skipper of the Sox."

Ridiculous, right? They why is it perfectly acceptable in politics to do the same thing?

(By the way, Sox in six...)
