Twisting the Truth (washingtonpost.com):
"A very intelligent political reporter I know said the other night that Republicans simply run better campaigns than Democrats. If I were given a free pass to stretch the truth to the breaking point, I could run a pretty good campaign, too."


Exactly. When truth doesn't matter, Bush looks great.

It strikes me as I read this just how universal of a statement that is...(not to take away from your point about Bushie--with which I am in complete agreement)

Couldn't we all say

________ looks like a pretty good option, as long as the truth doesn't matter. (you fill in the blank.)

Good point. I know that my Repub friends think the exact opposite, but I am convinced that Bush has been more dishonest than Kerry. Kerry's statements have been arguable--the state of the economy, the state of security in Iraq and home. Bush has completely mischaracterized Kerry's record and statements.

But you make a great point. One of the problems with politics, I guess.
