And there is the answer to all the "Why don't they counter attack". The are and have been but the Junk media simply ignore anything that does NOT fit their propaganda template. Bush went out and gave a fabulous speech to the American Legion. Notice the Junk Media barely even mentioned it? And of course do any of the usual whiner even mention the Speech. Is there an echo chamber to pick up and repeat the points in the speech? NO instead we get the same old whining from the usual suspects in the Conservative Establishment. "Why doesn't Bush fight back"? He is and MAYBE ONE time the usual fraggers MIGHT shoot at our common foes INSTEAD of spending ALL their time shooting Bush in the back???
Looks like they tried vigorously - first WH Deputy Spokesperson Dana Perino, Sara Taylor (WH political director), the Architect & Josh Bolton to get the President's interview. Rome Hartman of CBS was the intermediary.
Conservative Bush Bashers feel that if they attack him they are somehow morally superior to the rest of us. Fact is they are cowards who are not team players and should be ignored rather than taken seriously. They would never vote for anyone serious anyway, if they are really who they say they are??
