--- Ruben Krasnopolsky is a perfect example of the sort of nit-picking conservative who I pray will step up and rescue the movement. Until a few weeks ago he was holding his nose and leaning toward Bush. Now he's shown the kind of flexibility that I expect from people who can overcome a political reflex in the face of overwhelming evidence.
He points out an inconsistency and I bow, admitting it. Of COURSE treason is not the "only" explanation for these bozos demolishing our military readiness, finacial stability and standing in the world. That was one of my drama queen moments. Exaggeration... but not in an untrue direction. If, instead, they are doing all this - and more - out of a combination of monomania, ideological frenzy, insatiable greed and incompetence, well, then I stand corrected. I do worry about the inevitable number of indictments to come after freedom marches forward and brings about a regime change. I fear it will look like a witch hunt. The San Diego Union is one of the most conservative papers in the country. It is endorsing Bush (tepidly). And yet, every single day it carries reports of more election dirty tricks being pulled by the present GOP. And not yet a single one from the Democrats. Today it's California's biggest broadcaster, Pappas Telecasting, donating half a million $ in free air time to Republican campaigns. They claim the FCC (run by Colin Powell's political hack son) ruled that equal time isn't necessary because it didn't go to the candidates, but instead to the candidates' county committees. Never in my life have I seen anything like this. It isn't politics. It is something else. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
