How to Lie and Dissemble and treat the Public like 5-Year Olds Why does the Bush Administration and Bush/Cheney 2004 hate America? Apparently, it is their belief that treating us like we cannot and will not read is the way to deal with us (and sadly this is somewhat accurate for the Bush base). ...Or they think Americans are just like the Preznit. Observe the outrageous spin:

The Bush campaign has repeatedly accused the senator of "politicizing" Iraq. Bush-Cheney chairman Marc Racicot told reporters Wednesday that Kerry is relentlessly "playing politics" and exploiting tragedy for political gain. Racicot, for instance, told reporters that Kerry suggested that 150,000 or so U.S. troops are "somehow universally responsible" for the misdeeds of a small number of American soldiers and contractors. Racicot made several variations of this charge. But Kerry never said this, or anything like it. As evidence, Racicot pointed to the following quote Kerry made at a fundraiser on Tuesday: "What has happened is not just something that a few a privates or corporals or sergeants engaged in. This is something that comes out of an attitude about the rights of prisoners of war, it's an attitude that comes out of America's overall arrogance in its policy that is alienating countries all around the world." What Racicot did not mention was that Kerry preceded this remark by saying, "I know that what happened over there is not the behavior of 99.9 percent of our troops."

If it were not for Bullshit, what would the Bush 2004 reelect campaign have? It is becoming more and more evident that the only way to construct a logical justification for reelecting this disaster is: (1) I'm a Republican and therefore I will just assume as AWFUL as Bush is, Kerry will be worse. This is called "An Elephant never Remembers". (2) Pathological Cynicism and self-loathing. (3) Other forms Mental Illness. These are not exactly the building blocks of successful election strategy.
