1. Just another example

This is just another example of the Bush Spin doctrine, they'll argue that that particcular bill had so much pork barrel in it that it destroyed the economy and caused the recession that started in March of Bush's first year.

2. Yeah,

My brother was told that Kerry never voted for military pay increase. Wonder who was responsible for this bs?
