Reply #1: Lee Atwater's deathbed apology.

[Skarbrowe]

In 1991 Lee Atwater was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He found Jesus and supposedly tried to make amends for the lives he destroyed with his "dirty tricks" politics. I've known about this for years and I googled the above from a Campus site. I do believe that he apologized to Dukakis. He was still a snake, but it was an obvious statement to what the Bush ( all of them ) and their people are like. No one listened when I told them about this in 2000. George W. Bush was Lee Atwater's "follower" or shadow man. I can't think of the term right now. It means that Dubya was learning the dirty trick politics from Lee Atwater and another star student was Karl Rove.

Unfortunetaly, there are too many ignorant people in this country. Combine them with the Republican control of the voting machines and I'm still not convinced Kerry has a chance. I'll do a major happy dance if I'm wrong.

On edit THANKS for the Maureen Dowd article. She's right on. I think she's a strange woman, but I like her.
