George Allen Hurls Mud, James Webb Deals With The Issues

In the closing days of the Virginia Senate race, George Allen is busy slinging mud and harping on the wedge issue of gay marriage.
His opponent, James Webb, on the other hand is concentrating on substantiative issues. In the Democratic Party's weekly radio address, Webb called on President George W. Bush to clarify that the U.S. has no plans to build permanent bases in Iraq.
The Muslim world sees the American forces in Iraq as occupiers who want to establish a permanent physical presence in the region. "Declaring our intention to withdraw our combat forces will take the moral high ground away from the insurgency in the eyes of the Muslim world,'' Webb, a decorated war hero said.
The candidates should be focusing their attention on the best means of extricating ourselves from the quagmire in Iraq, but George Allen is too busy quoting raunchy excerpts from Webb's novels.
Americans in bars and around water coolers are discussing the rising death toll in Iraq, and not some risque passages written by a political candidate years ago.
Those x-rated passages from Webb's books are fiction, but there's nothing fictitious about Allen's love of Confederate memorabilia and his past (hopefully) use of the word "nigger".
Allen's harping on Webb's novels shows he is bereft of integrity and ideas. The citizens of Virginia need to vote George (Macaca) Allen out of office, so that he can have plenty of time to read the most provocative parts of Webb's books over and over again.
