AdGate

Requirement of a scandal: put "gate" at the end of whatever subject you're talking about. In this case, it's this ridiculous back-and-forth about the attack ads. Not sure who in particular is more scandalized. The whole damn thing stinks to me. (The latest.)

I have a theory about this. Perhaps this whole thing is being done deliberately to nauseate the voting public and turn them completely off the electoral process. Whenever the general public is polled, Kerry generally gets majority. Only when REGISTERED VOTERS are polled does it split down the middle. So it's to republican's advantage to keeping voting at a minimum. Ergo, the Let's Disgust America strategy.

Of course, personally I believe that Kerry is actually a republican who thought he'd get more mileage posing as a democrat. So at this point, conservatives win no matter what. It's just a question whether the corporate agenda will be shoved in our face and adorned with redwhiteblue streamers, trumpets blaring, or whether it'll be done behind the scenes under withering attacks from rightwing demagogues and Fox News.
