Sure is! Which side had a campaign worker resign after it was
revealed that he lied about directing the No-So-Swiftness' activities?
Bush's side, of course.


Sounds like you're misinterpreting the news.

Exactly. He didn't lie, he was a legal professional, who thought his personal
ethics should not be in question. Kerry has the same legal professionals, and
they don't think it is a question of ethics. I believe both are right, however I
also believe that the 527's are bad for politics and individual campaigns. If they
were about party politics, rather than individual politics, then I think they
would serve an useful purpose. People with billions of dollars, and a short
time to spend it (on either side) can't be trusted to remain reasonable, and
they have proven this by billions spent on dredging-up the Vietnam war,
and all the losers associated with that era. It's like an American Legion
convention for president of the legion, rather than the worlds last superpower.

Billions of dollars spent on television ads to argue about history from 35 years
ago, rather than the future, and each parties goals for American policy.

It's a disgrace, and pure theater. Only the actors will get anything out of it.
Cleland, for example, should get an Academy Award for best supporting
actor. He looks like he really means it, even though we know it's only a
fictional story.
