"What a tangled web we weave..."
With at least 70% and more like 90% of public approval of the wiretapping, what makes you sure that the NY Times would have swung the election? If anything, the public would have reacted to the Democrats as being too soft on terrorism.
The nickname "Pinch" refers to the sphincter action accompanying story production and editing at The Old Socialist Broad.
Why did they wait? I wonder the same thing, why did they wait until Bush numbers were going up and the day after Iraqi elections were a success?
Pinging in the New Year.
just opened the mail, found there a letter from nyt. i can get their paper on a 'special' for ONLY $2.90/week.
They would have to pay me about 10 times that to take it.
Folded everything, including envelope together, inserted in enclosed postage-paid return envelope and will put in mail tomorrow.
Rockefeller finally gave them the go-ahead...don't anyone remember the democratic strategic email that was sent by Rocky,but delivered to the wrong address..???

Here's another one - "Timing is everything."
Because they didn't want Kerry either but couldn't admit it.
"...when these leaks could have won the elections for their bosses, the Democrat Party?"
I would disagree, but if the screaming of the MSM drowned out everything else and this ran as often as the Bush National Guard story, then...it might have improved the Rat's chances.
As it was, with the complete one-sided bias of the media, Bush still won...I think it speaks to how woefully inadequate their platform and candidate was, and is.
The good news is that the Rats somehow still think America thinks the way they do.
If not released just before election day the next best thing for the NYT/DNC is to realease this story on the day of the Iraqi elections to quell any "victory" talk by the current administration. Either way it's a victory for terrorists and democrats. The real problem as I see it is that this is a non-story. If after Sept.11th the President WASN'T doing everything in his power to fight terrorists (including wiretaps/intercepts) he would have been impeached by Republicans AND Democrats. JMHO.
Do any of these people even remember 9/11?
That it was released at the time of the vote to renew the Patriot Act has turned into a plus for the President as well.
Just my lame opinion.
I'd like to know exactly what the 28 questions are.
Someone else on another thread made an excellent point. Recall that Osama bin Laden released a tape just before the 2004 election - Karl Rove let him out of the White House basement to make that tape and throw the election to George Bush (or so implied "Uncle" Walter Cronkite, anyway). If the Slimes had ran with the NSA story then, it would have bumped the public's approval of the "spying" (and thus Bush) up even higher.
I think HYPOCRITES fit better.
Wilson/Plame (desk jockey/media "star") leak = bad, National Security leaks = good. They are so transparent.
They waited for one simple reason: They thought it would help Bush in his re-election bid, not hurt him.
And they were right.
Amazing how traitorous the Left becomes when Republicans are in power.
