This is y i signed up!
nice cop
Mark Levin talking about Free Republic catching this. :-)
This looks to me to be just a skeleton report meant to be filled with details and observations during/after the debate tonight. With the pressure on to get something up on the website quickly, I do not blame the reporter for getting a head start...
Think about this statement! He says they are real. This is supposed to make Bush look bad?
Bush was expected to confront questions about leading the nation into war on the still-unproven premise that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. He also has faced accusations that he lacked a strategy to deal with the violence and chaos that have left more than 1,000 Americans dead and that the Iraq war has diverted U.S. attention from al-Qaida and other terrorists.
With a record of four years in office to defend, Bush had a debate strategy of being optimistic about Iraq but acknowledging that times were tough. His stance is that Americans know he is a decisive leader even if they don't always agree with his decisions and that Kerry has taken conflicting positions on Iraq and can't be trusted to lead the nation.
Although Kerry voted to give Bush authority to invade Iraq, he says he would not have followed Bush's path to war a path that alienated allies and, the Democrat says, left Americans less secure. Kerry argues Bush is out of touch with reality, paints too rosy a picture about Iraq and lacks a strategy to end the crisis.
Kerry also says Bush has neglected other major problems like North Korea and Iran, two nations suspected of pursing nuclear weapons.
Well screw watching the debates now. Way to post spoilers AP.
Levin on this at 7:05pm EST - mentioned FR as the source. Another evil plan Freeped. Good work.
Well - "if true" - I hope some friendly news station points this out -
Yup, gotta love Levin!
What morons... now what remains to be seen is whether or not they change anything in the article after the debate tonight is REALLY over... lol
The link above to Hard News Now credits, seriously, DU for catching it.
I'm surprised it didn't say that Kerry "clearly won the debate."
*LOL*
This is SOP. Not the posting but the start of the writeup ahead of time - somebody just goofed in posting it to the Boston Globe website and someone at AP goofed by picking it up and then ABC did the same thing.
That is the definition of Rhetoric. Another is "Bullsh$# wrapped with a red ribbon".
media bias? what media bias!
