As usual, Dr. Sowell is right on. The media just loves to try to embarrass George Bush any way they can. It has sabotaged the security of our country time after time in an effort to get back at him for their misconception that he “stole the election.”
Yes, there have been far too many incidences of the media printing classified material since President Bush was elected, there’s no excuse for it and they should have been made examples of.
Let me refresh you....
It's about the smears & life changing (& many times erroneous) charges brought against someone by the government against the innocent ie...Richard Jewel, Hatfield, maybe even Ivins...
That opinion is widespread but not true, IMO. A tactic used by the Left, the Communists, worldwide is to try to first steal an election but failing that to then accuse the winner of stealing the election. They keep that up along with calling the legally elected winner to be illegitimate. They do that until they can actually steal an election and gain/regain power.
To them, everything is about getting and keeping power. It is known that Senator Jay Rockefeller went to Jordan and Syria just prior to our buildup to invade Iraq and using the inside information he had, information shared with Congress by the President, that Bush was serious and was really going to invade Irag. This gave Saddam the information he needed to spirit the WMD out of Iraq.
Rockefeller did this to make Bush look bad and help the Democrats regain power. He didn't care about the country or the safety of out troops. He cared only about power. There are many like him.
My only disagreement with you is as to whether the Democrats/Left/Media really think Bush stole the election. I think they only pretend to think that to affect the Useful Idiots, who probably really do believe it
It was the media who sponsored all the investigations of the Florida election, the investigations which all proved that Bush won fairly. So, they know that no election was stolen, they just want to leave that impression on the impressionable. That is just one of their many deceptive practices.
