I think it's really hard to know what to believe in any candidate trying to win office. I never quite know whether to believe they are really outraged and offended by the things they say against each other, or if it is all a face put on to win sympathy and support. It COULD be that Kerry's remarks were a low blow political jab... it's JUST as possible that Cheney and Lynne are putting on an outraged and victimized "mask" to make Kerry look worse. It's so hard to know what people's intentions and real feelings are when it comes to these political wars, how much is real and how much is staged for their audience, the voters.

I'm not saying it is one way or the other, I honestly truly don't know. I do think that political candidates on either side will use any leverage they can get though, it's just hard for me to figure out when they are truly feeling some emotion or if it is put on to further their cause. I think it's good to keep it in mind that what we see may not be what the reality is, on both sides.
