(Hepledged in the 2000 race to veto the proposed site in the Yuccamountains but went back on his word as soon as he got into office.Kerry has always been consistently opposed.)But what's annoying is this article about that race and how it mildlyoffers up in the middle that Bush is flat-out lying about Kerry's recordon the issue.</p><p> Here's one example."'The Kerry-Edwards ticket was for Yucca Mountain before they wereagainst it, and Nevadans should not be fooled by election-yearpandering,' Nevada's Republican senator, John Ensign, said in astatement circulated by the Bush campaign."But Mr.</p><p> Ensign himself, when pressed on a cable television programlast week, said of Mr.</p><p> Kerry that 'on this one issue he's been betterthan George Bush, but that's on one issue.'"Why isn't this article about Bush distorting and lying about hisopponent's record? Isn't that worthy of mention any more? Or is itjust a given? There's a big difference between saying your way is forthe good of the country and their way leads to disaster and flat-outlying.</p><p> MORE POSTS ABOUT: JOHN EDWARDSNevada MountainsGet Your Comprehensive Guide to RuralNevada.</p><p> Start Exploring Now!TravelNevada.comDocuments in NevadaBusiness records destruction Commercial andresidential servicesassureddocdestruction.com65+ Hotels In IrelandEscape to the country for peace andunwinding. 15% off to Jan 31.www.IrishCountryHotels.com Add New Comment Logged in as AnonymousUser Logout from DisqusLogged in asusing Facebook Connect (Logout)Type your comment here.</p><p> Daily KosShuster, Blow slam wingnut rhetoric - DavidShuster leads a panel discussion with gun activistAllan Gotlieb and New York Times columnistCharles Blow on the escalation of the right-wing’sre...12 minutes agoPaul KrugmanOne more time - Brad DeLong is, rightly, horrifiedat the great Ricardian equivalencemisunderstanding.</p><p> It's one thing to have anargument about whether consumers are perf...14 minutes agoHuffPost PoliticsLincoln Leaves Door Open For EFCA Compromise -Senator Blanche Lincoln on Monday announcedthat she would vote against the Employee FreeChoice Act.</p><p> But later she elaborated, leaving thedoor open for...20 minutes agoCrooks and LiarsMichelle Bachmann warns of politically correctre-education camps for young people - Isn't thestate of Minnesota embarrassed enough alreadyover Norm Coleman's hold out?
