I'm so depressed

I really thought that was it. Over. The WORST press conference in the history of press conferences. Didn't answer a SINGLE question. Admitted he was "not quick enough" to think of ONE FUCKING thing he did wrong.

But the media is spinning it the other way and I just don't understand why they aren't focusing on the Q & A. The questions were GOOD and even if they were scripted he STILL COULDN'T ANSWER THEM. NOT ONE.

I fear the media will, once again, hand him the election.

WHAT CAN WE DO?

All we can do is pray...and vote if it still counts.

I'm flipping stations saying "huh?????" What were they watching???? MSNBC has some truth going...

They did the exact same thing after Meet the Press and his dreadful State of the Union address. However, once the public had their say they all started singing a new tune.

Edit: Spelling

I was on such a high, though and then, stupidly, started flipping around the dial. Dumb.

Readers/writers may be more discriminating in what actually transpired.

can't people see this- like we say here. More people that alreay know Bush is a screw up. Damn I should have shut my computer off- this is damn depressing to hear.

That always helps me

And remember Nixon.

He won his re-election, and then...

is basically saying he did crappy and he is going to spiral down.

She's always on Bush's case. If she said he did well we'd REALLY have to worry...

and they never showed it again after I started writing the post

* was in "some sort of denial tonight"

As for my last post... the lady's last name is on the tip of my tongue... can anybody help?

Heavy drinking should help. :toast: :beer:

....to even deal with what just happened.

don't skooooo?

possibly be getting out of perpetuating the myth that Bush has clothes? God knows the corporations love him because he's done right by them but the ordinary guy, the ordinary reporter, geez are they being threatened with losing their jobs? How bad does Bush have to be before someone calls it like it is?

MzPip
:dem:

after the hard questions that were asked....But on all the networks, the very guys that asked the questions he didn't answer, came on and white washed the whole performance....IT'S UNBELIEVABLE!

None of these people will say anything bad about him. I can't believe this. It seems the independent media is dead and gone.

He always makes me feel better--he's a really, really good antidote to the * madness.

Of course, they'll probably take him out before long. The man has way more guts than sense, bless his heart.

But in the meantime--sanity, brilliance, and he ain't too hard on the eyes, either.

this country is f**ked.

Did anyone catch the "security agreement" that we'll have with the post-June 30 "soverign" Iraq? Exactly what Chalmers Johnson is talking about in Sorrows of Empire. Recently Johnson recommended that everyone "plan their out now", get a second passport if possible, and buy that condo in Vancouver. We're really going to need it.

(Did anyone catch his glee when mentioning MI5! Geezus f**king chr*st!)

Bypass the media. Show your friends the articles and stuff that'll inevitably be written tonight and tommorow about his bad performance during the q-and-a. I've had a little email list going for awhile that I use to kind of re-focus the media on important stuff. You'll find plenty here to pass around. Over the past year, I've learned that you basically have to change stuff yourself, you can't depend on the media to lead - it may follow the grassroots later, but if you know what's going on, really the only person you can rely on spreading it is you.

I actually felt embarrassed for Bush- How can someone as incompetent as him become President????? :think:

so the question is not applicable.

depressed too, and for the same reasons. My only hope now is that the talking heads are too afraid to break from the pack now. When they hear the "heavies" or see some poll results, they might grow some cojones. Then again,pigs might fly.

million bucks to pound away with ads on TV & radio, day and night with money to spare until the election. And a capture of a bin Laden here and planted WMD there, and Roves smears, lies and distortions of Kerry...looks like the chimp will slide into another four years...

And if he runs into any problems, he'll just steal the election again...and when he does what could we really do about it?

so called president. I don't usually watch when he is on the tube but I said I would this time since he hardly ever give those press...news conferences. I switched to CSPAN right after but I did hear some of the pundits after that and only a few were truthful, like David Gregory and Andrea Mitchell. It's like the others don't want to admit that this man is a DUMBASS.

Thanks for the wonderful picture of the big dog. After ass wipes showing I was about to blow my brains out. That picture saved me.

And don't get caught up in the spin. Of course they're going to try spinning this as positively as they can. But the public was watching, and word spreads, and the belief of one's eye's and ears still outways the jabbering coming from TV or radio drones.

Frankly, I think that Bush has just lost the election, and further, I believe he also has come to that realization. Remember during the Q&A, he spoke on three seperate occasions of his legacy. That's telling, that's like the kiss of death in politics. Politicians don't speaking of legacy, in an election year, unless they think there's a serious chance of going down.

tonight. He seems to be trying to convince himself with his lies. He can't answer questions truthfully. I wonder how much longer he can keep the charade going...

He only answers scripted questions, he actually named the axis of evil to the world according to his administration's perceptions, and he constantly lies against solid facts, he hasn't said he's sorry......to me he acts like some fanatical leader who has delusions of grandeur and projects everything that pertains to his own administration onto another group! These things are not normal.

You know, where Nixon was desperately babbling "I'm not a crook"? Bush is to witless to do the unscripted dance on live TV, much less lie without stuttering. Nixon could at least try put a bold front up, at least until there was no hope left.

Bush just sealed his fate, barring cheating, stealing or martial law, he is going down this fall.

I'm out of touch. I thought junior came across as a lying waring whoring war monger. He looked the part of a moron, he talked like a first class creep and his demeanor was no better than the village idiot.

he is on the defensive. Some will compare what he said tonight with what is actually known on the record. It's a ripple in the stream. Go buy the new Indigo Girls CD. This man is not the real America. I still in the evidence of overwhelming depraved indifference believe it will not stand. Now, I'm crying. Don't give up.

MSNBC is giving this thing, unfreakingbelievable!!!!

I trust that when November comes along, the only way that pond slime could win is by fraud, and if does, hell has a special place for him and those who helped him.

Nothing to do that could make the media tell what's realy going on. We've just got to take it, and hope some people will check out the real news, online and whatnot

Heck, I live in Texas, which basically amounts to disenfranchisement by location for a Democrat. But we can still keep fighting and spreading ideas and pointing out spin -- and trust me, Bush makes a lot of peoples' "BS" detectors go off. Don't give up! They WANT you to give up. Fight! Argue! Vote!

Hubby and I watched it and screamed at the TV for every lie he told


We were gleeful when he said "I wished you would h ave told me that question earlier" or something similar, implying that all the questions were previously known, scanned and replies to the same already written.

He stammered and stuttered over the question that he had no previous knowledge of and that, to us, was the true Bush.

What kind of a country is this that press conferences with the president are scripted?

That is the most shameful thing of all.

he knew of ever had a press conference scripted.

volunteering for a candidate, or monitor an election booth or watch the daily show. Just do something!!!!

I think we need to find someone who can (a) generate a lot of press (b) talk plainly, honestly and forcefully and (c) tell the truth and pose the questions that need to be asked and answered.

It would have been *nice* if our candidate could have been that person, but maybe it's best that it be someone else. Someone above the fray of politics. Someone everyone respects.

Hey, is Oprah a Dem?

This was a travesty. If you listened closely, the Chimp pretty much admitted that he had fore-knowledge of the threat, even as he denied it. He also looked worn out (shades of Nixon in the debates with JFK), and spoke with his usual Forrest Gump on crack eloquence. Still, even the PBS commentary applauded his ability to "speak to the common person, and not 'elites'". It was pretty depressing, especially after Ashcroft's lame-brained hypocritical partisan hack performance before the 9-11 commission today.

You know what this southern Christian Democrat is going to do about it? Well, first, I'm going to have a beer and vent a little in the forums. Then I might even have sex. But come tomorrow, I'm going to check my budget, send some cash to the DNC, and start writing editorials and emailing/calling local media (and where I live, that can get you lynched ;) ). To quote ole Georgie boy I'm gonna "stay the course", and "fight for liberty and freedom."

I'm not rolling over for this shi-----ooops PR effort.

Sic 'em ya'll!
