Democrats - always honest, forthright

MIAMI - The Republican National Committee demanded Monday that television networks stop running a television ad by the Democratic Party that falsely suggests John McCain wants a 100-year war in Iraq.

The ad says President Bush has talked about staying in Iraq for 50 years, then plays a clip of McCain saying, "Maybe 100. That'd be fine with me."

At issue is McCain's answer, in January, to a question about Bush's theory that troops could be in Iraq for 50 years.

McCain said: "Maybe 100. As long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed, that'd be fine with me, and I hope it would be fine with you, if we maintain a presence in a very volatile part of the world where al-Qaida is training, recruiting, equipping and motivating people every single day."

Democratic Party chief Howard Dean said "there's nothing false" about the ad.

"We deliberately used John McCain's words. This isn't some ominous consultant's voice from Washington. This is John McCain's own words. And we've been very upfront about everything that he's said." More here:

No -- nothing false about the ad at all, Howie. Very "upfront" indeed. I'm guessing, in your life, you've said the words "Put all the Jews in ovens." Of course, you didn't put them together like that, but you've used those words -- therefore, it would be honest and upfront to represent it that way ... Right, Howie?

This is what I love about liberals. It's never about honest ideas and debate, it's only about winning -- at all costs -- even lying, cheating, defaming, and character assassination. Do you understand -- there is NO limit to how low we'll go to win -- NONE!
