No, President George W. Bush made the largest screw-up in convention history when he appeared to announce that the war is unwinnable. That news will overshadow the entire convention, blowing the chance for a bounce to put us ahead. Folks, it just got a LOT tougher to win this race. Our guy just made Dukakis' death penalty quote look like the "city on a hill" speech.

Now I have heard everything. You don't tend to overreact do you?

I think someone, maybe an intrepid journalist who reads here and is interested in breaking big news, should look into George Soros' currency trading valuations on the dollar. Soros has a history of trying to influence elections around the world, and he makes mega $$s on currency speculation.
I bet some intrepid journalist will find that Soros actually is pushing Kerry up to speculate against the dollar. IE, Soros is doing what is worst for the US so he can make some money.

I don't think it was nearly as bad as some may think. It did make me cringe for sure, though. But for one thing, This is not a perceived weakness of Bush, so the damage should be minimal and short-lived, if at all.

Secondly, I think it could and should be spun as him saying that whether or not it is winnable depends primarily on whether America stays the course and reelects him, or surrenders and elects Kerry.

Please pull your panties out of your butt crack.

Adults knew what Bush was saying at the time. Damage control is already being done for those who are feebleminded enough to be manipulated by the media.

For the most part, the convention news has already overtaken this story.

Anybody with a brain knows what he meant when he said that and he's right--we'll NEVER get all the terrorist nuts.

C'mon - even the talking heads agree that this is a non-event. In fact, the Dems are more likeley to hurt Kerry with this, because the more they try to pin the "flip-flop" label on Bush, the more they remind the mushy middle of how that term applies to Kerry.

We shall see if Kerry has the guts to mention Bush's "winning" statement to the VFW today. Rumor has it that will be the highlight of his speech.

1. It was only a gaff in that he gave the MSM a one-liner to sieze upon while regarding the entire statement he made.
2. It really was a minor blip that sKerry will try to capitalize upon, but get nowhere as more important things envelope the campaign.
3. Get real! This sounds like a seminar post!

Your statement was not a motivating statement. It was a typical demoralizer.

But anyone who is attentive enough to want to vote already knows the nature of the War on Terror and the intent of our Commander-in-Chief. It's been widely publicized and does overshadow the most recent of daily incredible accusations from the left/liberal media. During this Campaign, those media companies are so desperate that they are quickly earning the perception of the populace that they should all be called, "The Daily Lie."

Republicans now hold the stage. The clowns of the left/liberal media companies stand discredited--losing enterprises funded by kooky moguls. They're no longer even good for running ads.

We are crushing the Democrats. They will be in a frenzy and making stupid statements until November 3rd.
