The MSM is in the tank for Kerry. They would have declared him the winner simply because they set the bar so low for him that he came out looking good. But looking good isn't enough and the MSM doesn't have the monopoly it used to have. There's the New Media and there's FR. We didn't have that in the 80s and we still did fine. The American people readily concede Kerry holds his own in a debate but they know he doesn't share THEIR VALUES. Kerry didn't connect with people trust me and he lost Middle America when he said America had to be held to a "Global Test." The American people are NOT voting for Kofi Annan's Under-Secretary, the role Kerry seems to be lusting after. As I said, President Bush is not a gifted speaker. But he sincere and authentic and that's a lot more than can be said for his opponent. I defy you to name me ONE positive reason Kerry offered to swing voters tonight to elect him the next POTUS. I rest my case.
Thoughts on the Debate?
LoL
We've a way to go on this matter, but I think the pres is who he is.
Kerry shocked some by redefining himself tonight, but Kerry is not one of us. He has no loyalty to the country.
You said that quite well and I appreciate the way you thoughtfully laid out what is going on. I am used to the media slanting the news, but tonight has been brutal. The dems and media have bashed Bush for his debate performance and then the pubs have added to the misery. I certainly didn't get any respite on FR tonight. I don't think people are moles just because they didn't think Bush did good, but I think a little perspective like you provided was needed! Thanks!
