Will Berger flap affect the election?
I'm just now catching up on this story. We all know that the RNC mafia is in full swing, my question is: Will this affect Kerry's campaign? I have been reading a ton of blogs and other boards, the rabids are going wild, why? Why are they pointing fingers at Kerry? He had nothing to do with this, how does he get blame? This beyond the pale IMO. How do you outright lie about a connection between a mistake from someone who has acknowledged it being nothing of significance in the misplaced papers? How are the rabids stretching this to make it something big?? It's nothing. He made an honest mistake and did it this monthss ago. I am confused, why can't Kerry or someone come out and blast them out of the water.

Thanks.

4. When they hear "Sandy Berger" they probably think "Hamburger".

5. How can you "steal" copies of documents?
The whole premise is crazy. These were copies of documents that the Commision had had possession of for months. The idea that he was trying to keep something from the Commission is goofy.

7. No. The rabids are going wild because they have only stupid little
minor issues to get excited about because Bu$h is such a failure. Because of the enormous, repeated mistakes he has made, and his failed policies, Bu$h has absolutely nothing positive to campaign on.

Freepers heads are exploding due to the frustration and desperation they are currently experiencing over Bu$h's impending landslide defeat in November.

8. The shrill GOP response smells of desperation.
The Berger case is nothing more than a blip. In the long run, it has nothing to do with Kerry.

11. Nice pic Xanthas
Too bad "our" guy is'nt still here to kick ass. The brightest star in recent years has gone to heaven because of this mafia. I want them gone, no matter what, how or who, they must leave. Paul wou'd have been the greatest President in history imo.

12. Hopefully Kerry will spout less neocon nonsense

13. No, the average independent
voter doesn't care about that kind of stuff, the independent voter is more concerned about the economy and the mess in the Middle East. MO
