You must've been in the "wilds" of Illinois then. LOL
I was disappointed too, but don't think it's a big deal. Eventually, the truth of the matter will come out. Not everything needs to be promptly corrected. Look at the interval between "no Swiftee was on Kerry's boat" to the revelation of Gardner.
bump
Not making excuses for the libs in MA, but I have to say that many have been brainwashed by the media.
A good example of the subtle manipulation, I get both Providence and Boston channels where I live. I got to see meet the press on channel 10 from providence. Channel 7, the NBC channel there, showed local news. Both have the Olympics on now. My guess is most people in MA will not see Rudy on MTP. Sad as he might appeal to many of them, as he is liberal on social ideas and conservative on defense and law enforcement, which is the way MA is.
Before you say I'm wrong about MA, 85% of MA wants the death penalty.
If see that clerk again ask if he knows when the movie is coming out.
Yeah, Kinda.
I think Fox has been trying a little too hard to be "fair and balanced", they've lost their "edginess" (if that's even a word).
I have always liked Brit because he didn't scream at the person he was interviewing (like Russert and Matthews, and Hannity and O'Reilly), but he asked them hard questions and didn't let them get away with not answering. IMO, he's almost the only one on TV that does that. This morning he seemed a little subdued on the Panel.
Anyhoo, best thing on Fox News this AM was the Mailbag quote from the guy who asked if there was ever another Vietnam vet who obtained 3 Purple Hearts in 4 months and didn't suffer a permanent disability? Good question!!!
Also Mara made a good point about the poll showing people who thought Kerry "exaggerated" and those who thought he "lied". She said the exaggerated figure was as damaging as the lie figure, of course Juan had to bring up the fact that there was a difference between exaggerating and lying, LOL.
I've heard that line before but nobody has ever been able to tell me what the difference is between an exaggeration and a lie. If you exaggerate, you're not telling the story as it actually happened, i.e. you're telling a lie.
I excited FOR you!
LOL..
when I first read this I immediately read 'la Jacque strap'
Russert said, Kerry voted for the war, then voted against funding it, while Hillary, you voted for both. His question was, do you regret your votes, if we'd known then, what we know now. Hillary said, Tim, if we'd known then what we know now, there wouldn't have been a vote to go to war.
To my way of listening, what Hillary did was clear Bush on his decision to go to war, because basically what she said was, if we'd known then what we know now, Bush wouldn't have asked the senate to vote. Hillary blaming intelligence, not Bush, I'm sure was unintentionable.
My take on Hillary's! comment was just the opposite. I took it as saying we now realize GW had no case at all to bring before the Congress, hence no vote because nothing to vote on.
Thomas Lipscomb Now (after break for news)!!.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1202280/posts..
Did that early this morning. Foolishly I waited til the day before Charley hit and the shelves were empty. Don't forget the batterys! And, I live outside Orlando.
Juan is in over his head. You are correct, exaggeration is one species of lie. Denial is another. For the purpose of voter's impression, any difference between "lie" and "exaggeration" plays the same way in the voting booth calculus. SOme people will see the "exaggeration" as a serious character flaw, others will shrug it off.
Have you noticed that whenever someone asks Hillary a tough question... negative poll results, negative quotes made by others, or asking her to defend her own "over the top" statements... she simply throws her head back and cackles and talks around the question? It's like that laughter keeps her from having to answer anything.
I interpreted her remarks the way you did. If we knew then what we "know" now, saddam would still be in power, still supporting Hamas, still building his nuclear program, etc etc.
It is a very weak hand for the Ds with any informed voter.
9 days...yikes
welcome back
"What's with the Hillary show of force?"
She is beginning her 2008 campaign. They know that Kerry has lost this one. No Dem, who is still in office, will speak out for him now.
Yeah..it was a tough decision to go with 'tan in a can' vs 'potato head' (or potatoe head)
