Guest ctrl+alt+del Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 FOX News was the first to call the election and declare Bush the winner, prematurely, OF COURSE. So then all the other spineless news stations follow Fox's lead. You ask, WHO IS THE MAN WHO DECIDED TO CALL THE ELECTION FOR BUSH???! Why, the man who was in charge of Fox's Election Coverage. JOHN ELLIS But who is JOHN ELLIS? Well hes first cousins with ole George W. and Jeb! HOW CONVENIENT! BIASED?!!? NOOOOOOOOOOO!! SUGGESTING THAT IS UNPATRIOTIC!!!! fuck the media. but fuck Fox even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BROWNer Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 rove was all over that i'm sure... and hey, while we're talking elections, how about this: Bush Election Drive to Tap September 11 Memories Republican party plans convention to coincide with third anniversary of attack by Julian Borger in Washington _ The Republican party has scheduled its 2004 convention unusually late in the year, so that the climactic moment when President George Bush's re-election campaign begins will nearly coincide with the third anniversary of the September 11 attack, according to a report yesterday. The New York convention, in late August and early September next year, will mark the formal launch of the re-election campaign, but unofficially the campaign has already started. With the war in Iraq barely over, the president has begun holding rallies in key swing states. Its central aim has become clear: to bridge the gap between Mr Bush's popularity as a wartime leader and the national ambivalence towards his domestic policies, a political chasm which the Democrats will seek to exploit. The guiding philosophy underlying the campaign is the avoidance of the mistakes made by the president's father, who won the 1991 Gulf war but was voted out of office largely because he was viewed as unconcerned with the plight of the economy. The strategy this time will be to focus on domestic economics and to make sure the glow of victory, and awareness of continuing peril, do not fade. In New York, Mr Bush will deliver his keynote address, accepting the Republican nomination, on September 2, just two months before the election and the latest acceptance in the party's 148-year history. The choice of venues for his postwar appearances has also been loaded with symbolism. He celebrated the liberation of Iraq and defended his tax cuts at a Boeing jet fighter plant in Missouri last week. This week, he will speak at a factory in Ohio (another swing state) that builds the Abrams tank, which helped to win the Iraq war so rapidly, explicitly making the link between the war and jobs. The US economy has lost 2 million jobs since he took office. Similarly, the president's conservative supporters have ques tioned the patriotism of moderate Republican senators who oppose the scale of his proposed $726bn tax cut. Television advertisements have compared the rebels to the French president, Jacques Chirac. The New York Times quoted Republicans close to the White House as saying the timing of the convention was part of a strategy to intertwine the re-election campaign with national security issues. The late convention, more than a month after its Democratic counterpart, would also maximize the Republicans' fundraising advantage, putting off the imposition of spending ceilings that only take effect when a party has chosen its candidate. The Democratic chairman, Terry McAuliffe said Mr Bush and his advisers had "reached a new low - The combination of exploiting for political gain America's worst tragedy since Pearl Harbor and the personal losses of thousands brings a new meaning to cynicism". The Republican national committee yesterday denied that the late convention date had been picked to exploit the September 11 anniversary. "It has nothing to do with it," a party official said. "As the Democrats are out of power, they go first, and they chose July. Because the Olympics are in August, we had to go after that." Asked why the convention was not scheduled in the first half of August, before the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens are due to start, the official said: "It was just a choice that was made."(italics added by brownroc) Frank Luntz, a Republican political consultant, said the late convention was dictated more by traditional political calculations than by a desire to draw on the emotions of September 11. "What you want to do if you're the incumbent is to get the head-to-head confrontation [between the two nominees] as short as possible," Mr Luntz said. He also doubted that the desire to minimize the time between the nomination and election day, during which the parties are limited to spending $75m under federal election rules, was the motive underlying the schedule. "As incumbents, they have more money than God," he said. The presidential re-election campaign has set a record fundraising target of $200m. A poll gauging the American mood in the aftermath of the Iraq war gave Mr Bush an approval rating of 72%, much higher than his prewar score of 55% but considerably lower than his father's 89% at the end of his Gulf war. In a few months the percentage of Americans who supported Mr Bush Sr halved, as the economy worsened. While his father won the support of nearly three-quarters of Democrats for his wartime leadership, the current president has won over only half. More Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy than approve, and a recent Associated Press survey found 61% of Americans do not agree with the president's ambitious tax-cut proposals. © Guardian Newspapers Limited 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casekonly Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 ok, some of you may hate me for this, but i don't really care. i do watch the fox news channel. i even watch "the factor" sometimes (i'm getting sick of bill o'reilly)... it all started several months ago. i just started watching fox news because it seemed to be genuine (at the time). it seemed that they were getting a little more truth out than other news organizations (televised only). i do still think that is true of them, except for their political news. it's such a farse to see them make every republican out to be a saint even when they say the most fucked up things i've ever heard (did you hear the republican the other day? he said that homosexuals having sex behind closed doors, in their own houses is comparable to incest, etc. ok, i'm not gay, nor do i like homosexuals, but i respect their rights to do what they please behind closed dooors, in their own homes) faux news basically took his side and kind of white washed it. meanwhile, the democrats are screaming about it and the republicans are just saying that it's more of tom daschle's b/s and he's just trying to stir something up. daschle is kind of a trouble-maker, but i do agree with him on this, it's fucked up that that republican could say that and claim that there wasn't anything wrong with it. as for bill o'reilly, yeah, i was a fan of his for a little while, until i saw him go off on this female reporter, and then i saw him bringing on these wack ass people talking about "hip hop" as they defined it and how bad it was that the bling rap was being sold on pepsi commercials...i emailed bill and asked several times for him to invite krs-one or another intelligent artist to speak on behalf of hip hop, but it was to no avail. i absolutely hate o'reilly, but i do still watch him sometimes. i'm not really much of a fan anymore, he gets way out of line when speaking with people, and then claims no spin and "fair and balanced"...it's all bullshit... well, that's my 2 cents.

Poop Man Bob Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 case - I actually gave Hannity and Colmes (sp?) a chance for a bit, figuring it would be nice to see some left-right debate on Fox. But hoollllyyy shit do I get mad when I watch that show! Hannity with his smug-I-eat-cock smirk all the time, trying to talk down to anyone "stupid" enough to lean towards the left. Then Colmes, the supposed liberal, can't grow a spine and stick up for his own beliefs. I'll give the conservatives one thing - they state what they believe and stick to their convictions at all costs. Liberals, on the other hand, especially lately, are spineless! "Well ... uhmm ... sure .. I guess we can take money away from the poor .. uhmm .. yeah .. and take away all our civil liberties ..." Remember when this country used to be a two-party country? Now it's simply the Republican States of America .. with occasionally some banter from "pinko, socialist, unpatriotic liberals", as Fox portrays them. Ugh. Frustruation.

mr.yuck Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 i think that bill o'reiley is great. He is one of the most entertaining people to watch on tv because he is a maniacle dickhead. He flexes his freedom of speech to the max. He says what is on his mind, damn the consequences. I think that the most entertaining thing i've ever heard him talk about was welfare. "He had this 70 year old grandmother on the show and was telling her that if she wanted to keep collecting welfare, she would have to start taking drug tests just to make sure that granny isnt going out and scoring "dope" with the tax payers money. Bill wouldn't even let this old lady get a word in edge wise. What a piece of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
