BUSH'S REAL OPPOSITION: REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVES

news/op/ed ^ | 3/28/2002 | Richard Reeves

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

the only reason Bush won was because of media favortism.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I assume that you are referring to the primaries, although this is not true there, the media favored McCain. If you are so silly as to say that this was true in November, then you are simply too loopy to warrant paying any attention to you at all.

Actually I believe it was your attempt at debate with Cato, who slugged you bout your head and shoulders with the two by four of logic and debate.

Your post puts me in mind of a runner that looks behind him and sees a runner that is about to lap him but because he is "in front" thinks he is ahead.

[Torie]

I don't recall any post you ever made that gave Bush any benefit of the doubt or kudos for anything. Maybe I missed it.

And because of the war the country has seen what a true leader he is

Remember the Gulf War? We'll see how confident you are come election time when the man who couldnt outvote AlGore, that dullard, is fighting up to his neck for every last vote. We'll see how the base comes through (he still have over 2 years to get back on track)I'll be here to take in all the cockiness and confidence of the PartyLine at that time.

No, ma'am. Our very own FR unappeasables are included in that 20 percent.......LOL.

[Torie]

Actually, Bush got pretty good press. The press is more balanced than it used to be. I know no one believes that except me on FR. Not that it was pro Bush. The media types simply didn't fall in love with Gore. Gore was simply too unloveable. That no doubt assisted in reasonably balanced coverage, in my opinion.

[rbmillerjr]

Thanks to CFR, Bush is the last President ever to be elected without the media's endorsement

I'm sure that Bush has a strategery for coming up with a 3 to 1 hard money advantage.........i mean he has to spend for

1)his issues

2)refute the opponents issues

3)counter the media he has empowered with CFR

[Howlin]

You need to lighten up JUST a bit.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

The limits of my imagination have now been delimited by your more catholic perspective.

Well of course I have a catholic perspective. I was confirmed in 1955!

[Texasforever]

No, I'll be in jail for buying an ad.

Now that is serious. Could you point to the part of the bill that states that? OOOR maybe you are just using a bit of hyperbole?

[Torie]

Small c. LOL.

[Howlin]

It all boils down to the money, doesn't it? That's what REALLY galls you all, isn't it? That Bush could get the money to get elected and your guys couldn't.

[Howlin]

I know no one believes that except me on FR

I agree with you on that.

HUH????? .. what papers did you read .. I'll admit they weren't thrilled with Gore .. but they mocked Bush every chance they could

[Torie]

I don't think money would have helped "them," whomever them was. Bush's primary opponent was quite well funded, including $250 from me, matched by the feds. I did my bit for the leveling of the playing field. It was not enough. LOL. Money alone is NEVER enough in and of itself alone, when it comes to running for the presidency. Cheers.

Howlin, I was a HUGE Bush supporter, both campaign and money wise. Sorry to sadden you that I know several other strong supporters that are waiting for Bush to earn their votes.

[Howlin]

Oh, that's right. 268 (82%) of us said he shouldn't sign CFR

Well, hell, I said he shouldn't sign it, but when he did, for whatever reason, I didn't think about commiting political suicide.

[Torie]

Most of them. I call them as I see them. I grant you the NY Times and LA Times are hopeless.
