Marie Cocco: Bush's Trip Was Typical- All Politics, No Policy

The policy is self-explanatory: We are in Iraq and we will stay as long as we have to.

Not liking something doesn't make it go away.

Hey, don`t you know Bush isn`t allowed to boost the moral of our troops? It doesn`t help the terrorists!

It calls to mind another image from the recent past: The president standing with a bullhorn amid the rubble of the World Trade Center, surrounded by the sooty but grateful faces of firefighters, pausing from their arduous and sorrowful work.

At least he went there, unlike the last Prez who pretty much ignored that first WTC bombing, and ignored the fact that the mastermind of that bombing as well as three others involved all came into this country with Iraqi passports! (No Iraq link to terrorism? ha ha ha ..Yeah, Ok)

"They say every picture tells a story, and that is so. A series of pictures, over time, eventually tells the truth."

Be careful of what you wish for Ms. Coco, Freepers have a slew of great pictures! Of your guy, also.

After losing the 2002 mid-term Senate and House elections, then losing their prize California governorship in 2003, followed by losing their Kentucky and Mississippi governorships in 2003, and then after noticing that they were vastly behind in Presidential fund-raising and popularity, the Democrats in the news media have decided that their only hope is to criticize every breath that President Bush breathes.

And that criticism won't work for them, either. All that it will do is further inoculate the public, who have all grown weary of the daily anti-Bush drumbeat in the news media that so contrasts to what Joe Averages are saying to Jane Americans around our nation in everyday social and business settings.

Ms. CooCoo and the libs can't recognize leadership when they see it. They have never associated with anyone in their own party that practiced it.

The mediots are so military illiterate they don't understand that when troops are away from home for an important holiday, their commander has an obligation to sit down with them for a meal and show their all in it together. In this case, President Bush went way above and beyond the call of duty to show concern for his troops. That's what a good commander does.

In her next breath Marie Cocco will say, with a straight face:
"I support the troops"

If Bush shows up at the sight of a tragedy, it's a cynical photo-op; if he doesn't show up, he's callous and indifferent to human suffering. The press will interpret Bush as they see fit, to cast him in the worst possible light.

their hatred against Bush will be their final undoings in 2004 - a year with one of the greatest electoral landslides since Reagan 84 and Nixon 72! The left let their hatre ruin their chances to nominate someone at least have a chance in the middle voters' kingdom, but no, they have the "hat-bush" un-holywood types run their shows, have the elitist media bubbleheads ruin their chances, well, they will all get what they deserved in 2004! How about a real Bush mandate when he is being elected by 56-58% of the votes, swept 42 tates+, increase senate Rep. Margin to 56, increase house Rep. seats by a dozen, and yes, Bush - with 56-58% - of the affirmative votes, he will the Prez garner the most votes ever in an election - maybe until then, these angry left libs will learn a thing or two, but then again, chances are - THEY WON'T!

These blithering idiots never cease to amaze me.

The cool part of my situation is the fact that I've never read NY Newsday and had no clue who this alleged journalist was until I saw this post right here in FR. This only proves for me that Big Media is irrelevant (at least in my world) and my education on things such as media bias and journalists' political views only gets better the more I use the internet and ignore TV.
