Elizabeth Dole is a serial liar

Elizabeth Dole (R-NC), in addition to previous, fantasy-world untruths, said on Meet the Press, "We don't give our candidates around the country talking points..." this was after she quoted someone running for office who was using exactly the talking points that every Republican uses about Iraq. She failed to acknowledge that there is any problem in this war on terrorism. Every time she spoke and said something folksy I said, "That's not true." Isn't she from Kansas? I don't think most people regularly lie in Kansas.

I've wondered, is www.talkingpoints.com how Republicans all wind up saying the same thing? Try to log on, it asks for a password.

I know that there was a booklet in the 2004 election that was distributed in Ohio with Republican talking points.

Elizabeth Dole sat in her chair and personally campaigned for Republican individuals around the country, accused Democrats of being comfortable losing Iraq (a total lie, and fails to acknowledge that we are already losing), and spread misinformation and unsubstantiated gossip about Howard Ford.

I had no idea that she was such a partisan, Republican shill.

Oh and, as my observant husband pointed out, if Blacks think an ad is racist, doesn't that ad deserve a second look? Elizabeth Dole's response to an ad showing a white woman asking Harold Ford to call her was "I don't think that's racist, but I respect that some people might."

Is racism a subjective opinion? NO. Racism is when people USE race to insult people, discredit people, hold people down, and you have to have your head buried in the sand of denial and historical amnesia not to even SUSPECT that having a white woman come on to a black political candidate is not using RACISM in the American South. And if we're no longer dealing with the reality of racism and are in the realm of subjective art of racism, then I must assume that Elizabeth Dole is basing her assessment of this ad on her questioning of the intention of the people who created the ad. Yeah, right, I'm sure she's done her homework on that score.
