It is painful to watch how they consistently take a good message and then mangle it until the message itself becomes a Republican talking point (Example: The infamous "waffle" - Kerry's voting against Iraq funding because it was not "paid for" being turned against him- the public was not yet ready for that stand and the message itself was not clearly defined).<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, it is like giving the keys to a hot rod to a drunk 15-year old and wondering what went wrong.A.

What I said was six people—three have been indicted. By the way, Chris, if you and I have been indicted, it doesn‘t mean we‘re guilty. But I wouldn‘t trade places with them.<BR/><BR/>MATTHEWS: No, no, no—I just want to know, when you‘re calling an administration “has a culture of corruption” I think you need one case of proven guilt, don‘t you? At least one case of proven guilt. <BR/><BR/>--------------Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074844.post-1128119808532828882005-09-30T18:36:00.000-04:002005-09-30T18:36:00.000-04:00Amen.The Democrats in Washington seem determined t...Amen.<BR/><BR/>The Democrats in Washington seem determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
