For as long as I can remember, any Clinton-associated endeavor has always been built on the old adage of " THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS ". This indicates that the Clinton Cronies will do absolutely anything, including invoking their other two major building blocks of: " LIE, DENY AND STICK TO IT ", and the old Arkansas saying of, " ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE ME OR YOUR OWN LYING EYES ", to further their nefarious schemes. Al Gore must now pass muster on whether or not he has learned these unholy techniques well enough to take over the reigns of power from his morally bankrupt mentor, the great living God Pharoah Bill Clinton, to continue the bilking of the American people in the name of the new royal ruling class, the LIBERAL DEMOCRAT. One of the most important tools that the DNC spinmeisters ( liars ) have employed to deflect attention away from their failings or sleezy tactics, is invoking the unfounded accusation of the very wrongdoing they are engaged in or have been guilty of, against their opponent!
The first, and most obvious example of this transference, is the Democrat talking heads going on television political talk shows and declaring the Republican party's nomination process for their candidate for the presidency of the United States a coronation for Texas Governor George W. Bush. It is now quite clear that the only coronation being held in America today, is that of Clinton's heir apparent, Al Gore. Nobody can deny that Vice President Gore is confident to the point of arrogance, in his condescending style of assuming the number one seat at the head of the Clinton/DNC created White House dictatorship. Gore has no Gephardt, Kennedy or Kerrey opposing him, just the damaged goods, pseudo candidate, Bill ( well publicized heart problems make him a non-contestant ) Bradley. The Republicans started with a half of a dozen individuals and have been narrowing the field as each primary unfolds, with three ( arguably only two front runners ) left as of today. Gore has won all the Democrat primaries so far, hands down, but the GOP leaders have split them. Which of these sounds like a coronation ceremony to you?
Another egregious example of this transference is the mantra of " RISKY TAX SCHEME ". Though this one was first used by Slick Willie against the Republican controlled Congress, Al Gore has embraced it fully in criticizing who he sees as the RNC front runner, George Bush. Bush has said that if there is a real surplus, that he favors giving it back to the people, instead of keeping it in Washington D.C. where it surely would be spent and not returned. People may differ on what they think is risky, but to offer a new entitlement to every new or old special interest group the way the Clinton/Gore administration does, is demonstrably risking the solvency of Social Security and Medicare, no matter how madly the Democrat spinmeisters say they are saving them ( remember " ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE ME OR YOUR OWN LYING EYES " ), against the misleading approximations of what may be only imaginary future budget surpluses!
A further example, though a bit more debatable, is the liberal talking head's attack on George W. Bush's lack of intelligence. A practised Clinton/DNC/Whitehouse spinmeister turned television talking head hack, Paul Begala ( the Bagman ) has delighted in daily mentioning Bush as being a nice guy but light upstairs; others call him Bush-Lite. Hey, all you had to do was see Al Baby in the White House Rose Garden the day of Bill Clinton's post-impeachment party, where he called the first philanderer, " one of the greatest presidents in history ", to doubt how many marbles he is playing with!
The Gore Campaign has even used this transference routine in a cannibalizing manner against one of it's own DNC ilk, ex-Senator Bill Bradley. In the midst of a vicious attacking ad campaign targetting Bradley, when Bradley pointed this out in a debate, the VPOTUS accused Bradley of using an attack strategy, though Bradley was only exposing the despicable negative campaign tactics of Gore!
Isn't it amusing to watch Democrats eat their own kind?
Lastly, though not exactly transference, do you remember ' Brer Rabbit pleading not to be thrown into the briar patch ', where he actually wanted to go to hide? Well, keep this in mind while the liberal Democrat media talking heads continue to push Senator John McCain as the most desirable GOP candidate for the office of president of the United States. They wouldn't be pushing this guy unless they truely though he would be a ' push-over ' for their boy, Al Gore, in the national election in November. Can you spell K-E-A-T-I-N-G F-I-V-E ? The Democrats can!
The morally and truth challenged Democrats and their supporters turn these lies into mantras, to be repeated over and over again ad nauseum on the left wing liberal dominated national media propaganda machine!
