105. LOL - I remember that.
Another Goldwater sound bite slogan was "In your heart, you know he's right".

Me and my friends came up with "In your heart, you know he's a fart".

I don't disagree that word twisting has not always been some part of politics. But the pukes have refined this to a new level entirely - with the use of focus groups and their syndicated talking heads.

They will try to use it to great effect.

I just think we should be focussed on the dirty way they are doing this - and letting the media and the sheeple know that it's wrong and not good for democracy.

I'd hate to see us doing the same thing. We can win on the issues. We need to shame the media into revealing the true issues to the voters.

And we at DU should be ready to deluge any journalists with thousands of angry well written e-mails when we see any of them going slong with the pukes on their word-twisting campaign.

Don't you think that would be more effective than wallowing in the same slime pit with them to see who can lie the best about what the other one said?
