My reaction: Stunned, mouth open... eyes shocked... heart stopped... then thawing, breathing, incredulous... sudden ironic laughter overtaking me which drowned out the remainder of Kerry's comment...
On the heels of Bush's heart-rending, uplifting remarks, which melted the souls of every woman and mother in hearing range, Kerry looked like a 1st Class (or is that Private Jet Class?) Grade B JERK.
This was an amazing blunder on his part!! Shame the liberal media will ignore it-- can't wait to hear what Hannity has to say on this one...!!
Flagg's reaction?
Everything went as I had expected. Rush said over a year ago that President Bush seems to not be satisfied with simply winning, but with destroying the modern democrat party.
Strategically, President Bush let Kerry have the first debate to get him confident enough to make some statements that could be used against him ("Global Test," etc.). This is why I had no doubt that it was the sound thing to do. Almost every FReeper was screaming at their TVs, "NO!! TELL KERRY (fill in the blank)!!!" As soon as I saw this, I knew something was up.
President Bush used the left's idea of him being a moron against them.
Now, what WE need to do from here on out is watch every media spin and catalog it here for all to read. Every point of bias. Every misquote. Every blatantly intentional hatchet job. Shine the light on it. Expose it. Contact our side (Rush, Hannity, etc.) and blare it from the tops of mountains.
Post those bumper stickers on your cars. Jam those yard signs deep in the Earth. It makes the left nervous; and nervous folks tend to make mistakes.
Our President needs us. I'll be there. Will you?
