Democrats! Are you forgetful? Or just gullible?
Did Whitewater teach you nothing about Republicans?

Did the impeachment of Bill Clinton teach you nothing about Republicans?

Did Rathergate teach you nothing about Republicans?

Did the Florida recount teach you nothing about Republicans?

Did the Bush campaigns and administration teach you nothing about Republicans?

Here is the lesson you've apparently missed in the thousands of episodes carried out by the VRWC.

1. REPUBLICANS LIE ABOUT DEMOCRATS.

2. REPUBLICANS USE DRUDGE TO SPREAD LIES.

So.....why are you so willing to fall for the game yet again?

The best way to stop this nasty game is to REFUSE TO PLAY when a Republican whispers about scandal. Don't take the bait. Just let the gossip die. No comment.

Grow up. Wise up. Stop acting like a bunch of headless chickens.

4. I'm neither forgetful nor gullible.
I haven't forgotten this isn't the first time Clinton's smeared Obama with "he's a muslim terrorist" crap. Nor am I so gullible that I believe she wouldn't do it again.

5. I'll ignore it...when the Clinton camp agrees it's deplorable.
They don't have to adit they sent it, just admit it's a deplorable way o campaigning, whoever did it.

7. Sounds reasonable to me. We have to be suspicious of all info we get.

8. Here's some more:
The War Against Gore: He's "stiff," he wears EARTH TONES!! He said he invented the Internet! He "lost" the debates with Bush because Bush "exceeded expectations" (in other words, he didn't actually bark like a dog). And on and on.

Kerry was a latte liberal because he windsurfed and didn't order the right kind of cheese on a sandwich!

Hillary: Her hair! Her clothes! She's robotic, she's too emotional, she's not feminine enough, she's too feminine; she's a lesbian.

That even excludes the "scandals" and outright lies.

It doesn't have to be a scandal for them to use it. It's death by a thousand cuts, repeated endlessly by an obedient media.

Whoever wins the nomination will be subjected to both faux scandals and silly, stupid stuff, disseminated by the GOP and endlessly repeated by an obedient corporate media, as well as slime like Drudge.

Unfortunately, Democrats fall for it. I see this same old stuff repeated on DU as if it's fact. Hell, some people here are repeating GOP smears word for word. Billary, anyone? Clinton News Network?

9. We have to sift everything through they say for facts , logic ,
and common sense.

What a shame they are so lacking in integrity that they, the Republicans, don't care if they bare false witness.

Although we must all be vigilant about truth, when we give the power of our voice over to any representative.

We must be certain that all who speak for us are defending our welfare.

What a sad butch any blind believers are! They foolishly give away hard fought civil rights with a docile smile or surprised acceptance.

I will not just bend over and accept when uncharacteristic allegations are cast like crumbs to the hungry.
