Vanity: What's up with Fox?
Fox

Posted on 10/15/2008 7:58:29 PM PDT by Chet 99

After the debate was over, the "conservative" pundits immediately trashed McCain. This was followed by Frank Luntz, who declared that is focus group idiots loved Obama (of course Luntz also said Palin was the knockout debate winner and McCain would surge in the polls after her debate).

This is supposed to be the conservative network? I switched over to PBS, and Clarence Page was giving more credit to McCain's performance than the Fox pundits. Same on CNN.

I switched over real fast to ABC and CBS. Both of these channels had pundits on who were also saying how well McCain did.

Fox News wasn't even watching the same debate. Fox News must have been drinking the kool-aid. It was surreal when the other channels gave McCain more credit than Fox News.

What happened to the swiftboat style campaign that was going to be launched against Obama? I remember hearing about this and then I think BO’s campaign said something about suing and have heard nothing more.

What happened? BO threatens his opposition with lawyers so opposition gets real quiet? Imagine what would happen if he’s in charge of the most powerful country in the world! We’ll be lucky if FR even would exist by the end of the first 4 years.

FNC isn't a "conservative" network... it's a "fair and balanced" network.

It's far from perfect, but it's the best we've got right now... :-(

If you don't believe me spend a few weeks watching MSDNC (MSNBC) and CNN, the Communist News Network.

At some point one has to admit that McCain is . . . JUST . . . NOT . . . GOOD.

Agreed, McCain just won't hammer a democrat like he will a republican.

Obama turned in a poor performance tonight that a decent conservative would have turned into a real opportunity, McCain was just reluctant to land anything solid against his democrat buddies.

One thing that might be up is as conservatives they were miffed (as was I) that McCain did not

1. Call Obama on the 95% of households tax-cut lie. Fewer than 95% of households, even ‘working households’ pay Federal income tax, so it’s impossible to give that many a tax-cut. McCain should have pointed this out, and said that “calling it a ‘refundable tax-credit’ doesn’t change what it really is, a welfare check. This is what you mean by ‘spreading the wealth around’: taking it from people who earn it and giving it to other people.”

and

2. Expand on the Ayers attack by pointing out all of Obama’s other questionable associations in rapid succession, esp. Khalidi and Odinga, but Rezko and Giannoulias would have been a nice touch, too.

This whole poll war thing I think is farsical.
On the one hand, we all know they are skewed... so we go freep them to legitimize them... Then DU dummies them up to re-skew. This poll war from a freeper’s perspective should be to de-legitimize them. You do that by helping to skew them to unbelievable numbers. That way the propaganda kings and queens look even more stupid if they report the numbers.

SOME of us would like to read actual published or broadcast material and reactions to it.

then why do you keep lurking on vanity threads?

before an arrogant ass like you called me a n00b 'cause you got here 5 minutes sooner

that was a good natured joke cause i knew you were no newbie.

...I'll be commenting on news and events, not the latest bedwetter's soliloquy..

so why do I keep running into you on vanity threads, using those big yet unpretentious, fonts. And remember, I'm responding to you, and trust me, Hillary or McCain would be much better than my mother as president...she burns the bread evertime.

"I wish they'd drop Charlie Krauthammer (or however the hell you spell it). He's stiff, monotone, looks like he got a corn cob up his, well you know.

The reason for some of that is that he was paralyzed in a diving accident in 1972.

Luntz made a comment that he "scolded" the focus group about being undecided or something along those lines.

This was in response to a question about every one being undecided. That's what I thought I heard.

McCain just didn’t throw the knockout blow, that’s why. For instance why no mention of the Freedom of Choice Act which will become law under O’Bomber. I’m hoping McCain can get the grassroots folks really going all out in the next two weeks. We’re still dragging him into the White House.

I get the impression that the GOP doesn’t want to win this time.

It seems all of their pundits are sabotaging the campaign.

I can only speculate.
