Has the word come down from on high ?
Edited on Thu Apr-22-04 08:41 PM by kentuck
To all the right-wing talk show hosts that they need to tear down John Kerry? Even a moron can see how much they have focused on that this week. Rush Limbaugh has gone completely apoplectic about it... That seems to be all he talks about...But the same goes for Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham and others, I am sure, that I haven't had the stomach to digest.

Who gave them the orders? Surely it must be more than just a coincidence that they all have focused on Kerry like a laser this week? Even the most dim Freeper can see that....surely. :)

3. Bet Newest Internal Poll Numbers Aren't Looking Good For Bush
and they just spent 50 million. Perhaps it's frustration on the whores part.

4. Of course it is. The Bushevik Pravda Whores are as scripted
and co-ordinated as Nazis or Soviets (but too much so for Free People, which they aren't).

5. Campaign shift
Bush and Co recently realised that they were over marketting their product. So they had to cut back on the ads. But they didn't want to let up on the pressure. So they simply shift from ads to talking points and gear up the talk shows.

8. Because they blew through 50 mil and LOST ground
Their old tricks don't work much anymore.

The jury is no longer out. All you have to do is judge by the number of pro Bush posts on Yahoo. It dwindled a long time ago. All the bush cabal is running on now is lies and terror. The lies are tired and worn out and the terror is losing its effectiveness - we've seen it before. They could blow up an entire city and it wouldn't phase me - we have plenty of others, and people die every day, what's the difference? We're supposed to change our lives because of a few terrorists? If we really cared about life, we'd quit supersizing our freedom fries.

The lies are tires out too. How many times has the Bush gang vilified their opponent. Clinton, McCain, Gore, now Kerry... zzzzzzz.

he was arguing with the eath day guy about how great bushs record was and said that if Kerry wanted to help the environment he should close four of his five houses, sell his boat and stop flying his jet.naturally the environmentalist guy got cut off..but I figure.bush should close crawford stop running to camp david.give up his boat.but I forgot that got burnt....and stop running Air Force One around the country to car races and baseball games ......

11. I heard Limbaugh say Kerry should be trouncing Bush now
with all the bad news for Bush. And that the Dems (Clinton, et al) were disgusted with Kerry for being behind Bush in the polls now.

SO I assume the opposite is true of whatever Limbaugh says. And that Kerry is actually leading and that Bush is scared shitless because his $50 million ads brought him no boost.

The MO for RoveCo is turn everything upside down and doublespeak (aka 1984): bad is good, good is evil.

Examples.

The insurgents are killing many more GI's than we thought they would therefore they must desperate and therefore we must be winning the war on Iraq.

The President just gave the most pathetic news conference ever and therefore the president looked strong and decisive.

The Woodward book exposed the rush to war by Bush therefore the White House recommends it because it shows Bush's determination and steadfastness.

13. I think it is probably true that......
they are switching tactics....They spent $50 million of their cache and have virtually nothing to show for it... So, time to try something different for a spell....If this doesn't work, what next????

12. So, how is it that the NeoCons can go negative on Kerry, but...
...everyone cries, including some members of DU, when the Kerry campaign goes negative on the NeoCons?

Somebody help me see the logic, particularly those on DU that go spastic at the first negative word.

14. Because some of those neo-cons are leading the charge here.
Look for the same people starting the crap here almost every time.
