Local and national behavior unethical

Michael Moore admitted to lies on national TV, claiming that ends justify means and he’s out to get President Bush any way he can and doesn’t care whether his propaganda is true. A New York Times reporter claimed Bush lied when he said Saddam Hussein had sought nuclear materials from an African country – Bush was telling the truth, and the reporter knew it all along but preferred to lie to hurt President Bush. Add the hate-mongering ranting of Whoopie Goldberg and her Hollywood crowd. Larry Flynt, owner of the porno magazine Hustler strongly supports John Kerry. Boston Globe reporter Mike Kranish works as a writer for Kerry’s campaign, while still holding his job and “reporting” the news. This is ethical, objective reporting? What a cast!

Now we have classless Democrats vandalizing Republican signs here. A Whatcom County Republican chairman reported Bush/Cheney signs were vandalized and destroyed recently – my wife and I saw two on the way to Mount Baker. Similar reports have come in from all over the state. The current crop of Democrats is certainly not a class act.

There is one old-guard Democrat worthy of respect, Joseph Lieberman, a decent, honorable man who could have served in the White House with wisdom and dignity. And look what his party did to him – they hung him out to dry.
