Eventually, if Mitt's going to be ok with them, he'll be ok with them.<br /><br />It's the right who screams about things like this when Democrats do it. And while it is kind of refreshing to see them turn on one of their own, I don't think it will matter much.<br />They screamed about Clinton's affair, and pounced on Edwards and NY's Gov. Spitzer. Yet they reelect their own transgressors, like Diaper Dave. <br />It's we on the left who have higher standards, so Edwards and Spitzer were "goned" by us.<br /><br />And yeah, it would have been nicer if this had come out in September or Octobers, when the idiot Rumplestiltskin portion of our voters finally awaken, and wonder what all of the political hub-hub's about, and get ready to vote using a tarot deck, Magic 8-ball, and what their equally stupid and ignorant friends, family, and coworkers tell them.c u n d gulaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875369227763250574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-20515774441170960582012-01-13T20:57:31.622-05:002012-01-13T20:57:31.622-05:00The main thing about the TANG documents was that t...The main thing about the TANG documents was that they came out in 2004, long after everybody made up their mind about what they thought about GWB. People did change their minds about GWB, but it had more to do with Social Security, Katrina, continued violence in Iraq, etc. than with any 30-year-old documents. The TANG was part of GWB's resume, and you don't care about resumes after you hire the guy. (I don't have a high opinion of Boy Wonder as a political strategist, but it would be one of the few things that would drive my estimation of Rove even further south if he turned out to have anything to do with the TANG documents. Stupid, stupid, stupid. That horse was dead long ago.)<br /><br />By contrast, the swing vote in the general election isn't even remotely paying attention now (except insofar as they are having ads crammed down their collective throats because they live in or near a battlefield state). Those people aren't going to start paying attention until September, and for most of those people, this is going to be fresh, new stuff.ploeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248826561069733693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-90081864790699073362012-01-13T20:17:19.051-05:002012-01-13T20:17:19.051-05:00The biggest effect could be that people don't ...The biggest effect could be that people don't watch King of Bain. While it is clearly propaganda, I don't think Kessler challenges many important details. For example, Bain sold 86% of their stock in DDi instead of all of it. Lehman Bros paid $80 million for tainted stock representations including DDi. But they didn't blame Bain? So? Did Bain not have an obligation to correct them? A person featured didn't know how their interview was going to be used. So what? Some were paid to participate? So? Did they lie? This is the kind of "fact checking" I expect from Big Pharma on Michael Moore's "Sicko". It's not good journalism.Danphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368147966029831819noreply@blogger.com
