Pessimissm

[ParisFrance]

If no one ever pointed out the mistakes of other, things would improve at a much slower pace. If a kid is writing a paper and you tell him great job on everything he did right , but refuse to tell him his errors due to not wanting to sound pessimistic, the kid's going to take much longer to become a better writer. If we never pointed out Bush's mistakes only to praise his good doing , the difficulty to improve the country would become greater.

1. These RWingers don't care about opinions. They call it "pessimism"

because it has negative connotations and hides the reality of DESERVED CRITICISM of BushCo.

6. The "Bush hatred" spin didn't work.

Now they are trying pessimism. Bush is using lines like "the sky is falling."

When listening to Bush, listen for the spin. It is always there. Exaggeration, emotion, division, oversimplification, false premises, false choices, straw men... every fallacious trick in the book. A sliver of meat and a gallon of gravy.

Listen to Kerry, you won't hear that. You will hear cogent, supported argument.

Bush is an asshole. Poor America.
