Particularly, actual conservative politicians are going to do a certain amount of slippin' and slidin'. There may be the occasional outright lie, but nothing like a Clinton or a Gore. Partly this is just that some segments of liberals today are exceptionally dishonest and unethical to the toes of their feet- spokesmen and independent pundits nearly as much as the elected officials. I don't want to give conservatives -let alone Republicans specifically- too much credit for being fair and considerate. Some of the superior behavior of conservatives also comes from having their heads bashed in by the media. Dubya could not begin to get away with the lying and finger waving that Clinton did even if he wanted to. And don't think my girl Wanda wouldn't step off in his ass. :) So let me take this opportunity to thank the liberal media for keeping the Bush administration mostly more or less honest. 9630@blogcritics.org Sat, 17 May 2003 14:53:31 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/05/15/052000.php#comment-9547 notice how the following sentence works just as well as the original: She's broadly a "conservative" but lacks the predictability, the sanctimony, and the willingness to lie that are necessary to make a real proper modern conservative. ;-) 9547@blogcritics.org Thu, 15 May 2003 10:15:00 EDT
