Subject: RE: BS: JR in the White House
To say there is no difference between Bush and Kerry isn't accurate.
What is accurate in the minds of many, is that we are faced with two bad choices. But that doesn't mean the election itself doesn't matter, or that debating the issues or the qualities, both positive and negative, of the candidates, doesn't matter.
I particularly object to the attempts by the Anybody But Bush camp for continually trying to silence those discussions and debates by casting just the sort of innuendo you just threw out to cast aspersions upon my attempts to discuss the negative qualities of both Bush and Kerry.
The Anybody But Bush camp simply does not tolerate anyone being critical of Kerry, without them going on the attack, in an attempt to bully or demonize those engaging in legitmate critical discussion about the candidates.
Now, that sort of tactic always comes across as heavy handed to everyone except those who engage in it. Like you, for instance.
