Wesley Clark; Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie; Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe.
Not to worry, Kerry has grace.
Yes, I'm getting MTP and it's not pretty. TR and the D are all over the R, who can't even explain Dick Cheney's response in the veep debate, about Mary Cheney. Then Russert brings up the "I'm not concerned about Osama" line, which is also explainable. Nine out of ten freepers would be more effective than this guy.
It strikes me that someone with night terrors should not be able to have a finger on a nuclear button. Maybe I'm just not trusting enough.
I just caught something I thought very interesting. At the beginning of each of the debates, the moderator announced that they hadn't told anyone the questions.
A few minutes ago on CBS's Sunday morning program, Bob Scieffer gave credit to a 25 year old female producer (I didn't catch the name) for the question about strong women. Paraphrasing: A few days before the debate (during a meeting) my 25 year old producer said, "You don't have a single question about women." Obviously, she knew the questions.
I trusted the moderators to not compromise their integrity by sharing the questions with a campaign. I would not extend that trust to the entire organization. For the record, that is like trusting Mary Mapes (another CBS producer) to not share the questions.
The correct answer is, they won't. It's ridiculous. Instead DeMint fumbles and agrees that if that's what they want we'll support it.
R's are not among friends on MTP. Why don't they realize it and come prepared to defend their positions?
Ohio R on FNS kept talking about every LEGAL vote being counted. the dim kept saying every VOTE. the dim said sKerry would be elected in every vote was counted - is that an admission of ballot stuffing?
Kerry the Clueless: He's a Democrat who offers Israel nothing but muddled ideas.
Just saw on This Week with Step-on-all-of-us . Claire Shipman said that although the snap polls after the 3rd debate showed sKerry "winning".
She was watching with a group of swing voters and that they gave sKerry marks for "style", but that she thought Bush won the debate , because they were looking for reassuance from Bush and he gave it to them. Most in the ABC group were more likely to vote for Bush after the 3rd debate.
Claire Shipman is no Bushie.
Russert must be out for blood... GOP blood.
I can't bear to endure Timmy.
I am NOT watching.
"I'd rather have someone slice my eyelids off with a dull razor blade. "
Cut me Mickey...
I caught that too. Scieffer is a liar.
Rudy is on now with Scieffer. Rudy just inferred that Scieffer is a liar, when Scieffer stated that Bush didn't answer question " How is Bush going to pay for deficit?"
Rudy answered matter of factly - "The President did answer the question"
I know alot of Freepers don't agree with some of Rudy's positions, but in my opionion, Rudy has been the best spokesman for President Bush.
I flipped over twice during commercials - I think you are right.
GO Rudy GO!!!!!!!!!!! Rudy is tearing into the lib lady on CBS...and Bob Schieffer...he is SUCH a well-spoken advocate for the president!!!
Jeb says to Stephanopoulos that he will NOT run in 2008.
LOL!
I just can't watch Russert.
He's hard on the eyes and he's always
in attack mode with Republicans.
Rudy in 2008?
He is a great spokesman for us
Hot coffee and donuts to you, you win the Sunday morning outtake award. This is the most interesting thing said today.
I just watched Rendell lie through his teeth. He's claiming that the ABC poll doesn't poll newly registered people because they use registration rolls. That's BS. The calls are made randomly.
If Rendell believes himself, he's nuts. Or is that redundant?
Exactly right.
If anything, she's a Kerry kool-aide imbiber.
