Six more months of negative compaigning, of right-wing lies, of Kerry on the defensive, and the left-wing getting angrier and more frustrated by a blue sky continually being called pink.
    At least, some brand new, heavyweight political sites have just now appeared, dedicated to documenting and correcting the ever-flowing sump pump of right-wing lies, and assisting left-wingers in pointing out the bleeding obvious.
    Make note of these. I have a feeling they’ll prove themselves important and handy references. I’ll be stickying them below in my Links section too. And I have a feeling I’ll be stickying this whole entry, since, WTF!<\/b>, Bush inexplicably still has an approval rating!

• Bush can’t think of one mistake he’s made? Here are 100 Mistakes for the President to Choose From<\/a>, at American Progress.org. (Fully documented too!)
• And of course, it’s hard to deny the effect of the constant parade of right-wing corruption and scandal documented at BuzzFlash<\/a><\/blockquote><\/div>    I’ll add these too, just because I like their domain names: Enron Owns the GOP<\/a>, Billionaires for Bush<\/a>, and, for all those people stubbornly voting for Bush just because he has an “(R)” next to his name, John Kerry is a Douchebag But I’m Voting For Him Anyway<\/a>.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
