5. On CNN, SpaceWhore Miles O'Brien got one of his subtle digs in.
Edited on Tue Sep-21-04 01:09 PM by VolcanoJen
"Coming up, candidate John Kerry will hold a news conference, something he hasn't done in months."

Talking to Bob Franken: "Why is Kerry so increasingly reluctant to talk to the media?"

Oh, yeh, Miles? What about your beloved Chimperor? He's certainly embraced news conferences, hasn't he, you piglet?

CNN's now showing live video of pro-Bush anti-Kerry protestors, with huge signs reading "Kerry UNFIT" and "Kerry is WRONG."

:puke:

7. get a load of the Kerry Protestors on CNN now.
In Florida, I guess. I keep it on mute to avoid constant headaches.

Anyhow, supposedly they are where he will give his press conference.

Freaks.

"Kerry is Unfit", "Kerry is Wrong"

15. They're giving a solid two minutes of a handful of protestors with signs
but when 300,000 protestors were in the streets against Bush they never managed to give two minutes of uninterrupted viewing did they?

Edited on Tue Sep-21-04 01:46 PM by VolcanoJen
Bush has no credibility with foreign leaders.

I'm picturing Kerry as he is now, with the Presidential Seal behind him. It's a beautiful picture. :D

Edited on Tue Sep-21-04 01:54 PM by ellie
I say: How many times are we going to go over it? If he wouldn't have voted for it then he would be branded unAmerican or a troop hater. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

"The president needs to deal in reality."

Ha ha ha ha ha

Kerry keeps repeating this.

Edited to make clear my comments.

32. "You don't take your eye off the ball."
My comments:
These stupid reporters must keep asking him, 'But isn't the world a safer place now that Saddam is gone?' This is the second time these whores asked him that. I can't hear the questions, I am watching MSRNC.

Now another question about his vote. No wonder he didn't want to talk to these idiots.

Edited on Tue Sep-21-04 02:04 PM by VolcanoJen
WTF is wrong with these idiot "reporters"? They have never ever ever ever ever grilled Bush in such a manner. Why don't they ask Bush about his decision to take this country into war? John Kerry did NOT take the country to war! Are they retarded?

God, does anyone remember that terrifying news conference Bush gave right before "Shock-n-Awe"? The one where the reporters were somber and nicey-nice and cherry-picked and scared of Big Bad Bush???

I'M GOING TO KILL MY TV.

45. Don't sweat it. Its an opportunity for Kerry to lead
and leading he is!

If this gets much play, if Kerry can keep this up for the next 6 weeks, if Kerry acts like this in the debates, then G W Bush is out on his ass.

48. I noticed they were putting Kerry on the defensive....
he's more than holding his own, but honestly... :eyes:

I like how the U.S. media pretends they are "journalists" when they pose questions to democrats, but not republicans.

41. The U.S. destroyed the
weapons that Iraq had during the time from the last Gulf War. The debate now is whether we have a plan to win and whether we are facing the reality of the war. Bush took his eye of that ball and removed troops from Afghanistan. It made America less safe. Terrorists are pouring over the border. This president did not take the steps to make America safer.

and we paid down the debt of our country. We left Bush with a surplus. Now we have the biggest defecits in American history. I have a plan to pay down the debt.

47. If I am president
we are going to succeed. I laid out yesterday in my speech. We must succeed in Iraq, in the war on terror. This president has not taken the steps. They are misleading on the numbers of Iraqi police. We need to be training people more rapidly. If we have to put people on a plane and fly them to another place to train them, then we should. Until you have security, we are caught in a vicious cycle. We have to change the reconstruction, we have to put Iraqis to work, we have to hold elections. No countries have stepped up to help with this. It's the president's job to get support. It is his job. He won't even acknowledge his own intelligence estimates on Iraq. Americans deserve real leadership.

That's it.

52. Kerry was superb
He laid it out 1,2,3... wouldn't let the press ignore his points--though they tried (whores)--and remained intense and focused, yet open and simple.

Home run.
