Yes, k. And you are a dumb fool. (It rhymed.) What you have just written is the biggest piece of shit that has ever been posted to this site short of some of the things skullaria has written. Adamist may use sometimes unreliable sources, but he has never expressed himself in such an utterly insipid tone as you two do. Now, even though your literary pigshit above deserves dismissal, I would be loath to leave it unchallenged. So, I would love to see, where the situation in question reversed, if you would still share this opinion? If Bush were accused, you would treat it as if it were the next Watergate. Since your rabid hatred for the president has grown beyond mere policy differences, or the usual right/left arguments, into a fanatical, obsessed support for a lame duck candidate on the order of Dukakis or Mondale (but actually much closer to Bush and Reagan in his true ideology), you are treating your candidate as if he can do no wrong. Interesting political school of thought. Sounds more like a mental illness than a political ideology. Seems more along the order of Right wing Christians than the liberals that once existed before they sold out to corporate interests and special interests.

So,k. You claim that "If we can't trust
] the candidates not to hide some sort of magic crib sheet in
] their pen, then they shouldn't be there in the first place.
] It's a dumb rule." So in a sense, you say that an honest man has no place in politics at all? Well, I would comment more on that, but I think it will suffice for me to say that minds like yours should have been aborted while still a zygote. The utter ignorance of your statement, the utter jaded and corrupt viewpoint that now views dishonesty as a virtue is utterly disgusting and you make me sick. In fact, I would say to you today that you are more damaging to America than the Al Queda. You, at least, should know better than to resign yourself to political corruption as a given. I want a statesman as president. I will consistently vote for a statesman for president. If he hasn't a hope in hell of being elected, I don't care. It won't be my fault. It will actually be the fault of morons like you, k. Scum like you sells our nation out every time. The middle class pseudo-intellectual cynical apathy is like a cancer in our society. Please don't bother voting. You are an idiot. There are convicted felons with a more astute sense of politics than you. Your intellect is potential at best.
