(the forum above is selected politics, don't blame me if it ends up on cigar forum) I do not blame the left for revealing that story on Bush before the election, it is called the art of political warfare, and the left is much better at it than the right. They are very good at studying their opponents, and instead of attacking their strengths, or their argument, they attack their weaknesses, either by painting them a bad person (ie children will suffer in a multitude of ways whichever way is best for the moment) attacking their integrity and using brilliant one line catch phrases, that the masses will remember, they often need not even bother attacking the actual argument, for they can discredit the person and thus the argument. The right tends to rely too much on their argument and ideas which get bogged down and drawn out, and quickly the masses lose interest. An excellent book, the Art of Political Warfare, written by radical Berkely lefty turned free market conservative David Horowitz lays it out beautifully, and those here that are conservatives like myself, would be wise to study the methods of the left, as they are often masters of this game. What I do take issue with is when laws are broken to achieve desired results, this is where I can bash on Clinton and Gore if I wasn't so bored of them.
