Give Me Something I Can't Use
When your record sucks, what do you use to campaign for re-election? Deception.
I got another email (see "A Microcosm..." from July 27th in my archives) from Iowa today that used spin and deception to attack John Kerry's character and paint him as a hypocrite. I found that others had already debunked the email, so I 'm just going to send you here and here to read about it.
With nervous fingers, I clicked the "reply to all" button and sent the Snopes.com article to everyone my Aunt had sent the email to. I hesitated because I didn't want to offend anyone, but I felt I had to in order to fight the deception used by the Bushies.
Everyone has to take a stand against deceit this election cycle--and everyone begins with me.
