Bush to give a televised speech tomorrow night to rebut Kerry from debate?

[Windy]

Isn't this a violation of election laws? How can Bush get free, unabashed media coverage without Kerry being given the same equal time. Since when is a sitting president permitted to "redo" his debate performance with canned dialog?

What the hell is this? Where is the uproar????

Who can we complain to?

[BayCityProgressive]

1. I dont understand

this either! This is going to put Kerry back on his heels and is soooo unfair!

[benburch]

2. Took him this long to think up a rebuttal?

What a loser!

[Sydnie]

3. They repealed that FCC rule.

Equal time is no longer the "law of the land". Let's hope that Kerry brings that back.

[genius]

6. This violates McCain Feingold.

[genius]

4. Airing of this is an in-kind contribution to Bush's campaign over the

limit unless they give equal time to Kerry. The cost of that much TV time is a tremendous contribution. Everyone call for the filing of charges unless they air an equally long Kerry speech.

[David Dunham]

5. I doubt the major networks will broadcast Bush's speech.

8. Bah!

Don't worry. Kerry will get his time in. The pathetic Bush has to be scripted and in a tightly controlled environment.

[high density]

9. Tomorrow during prime time?

Don't they understand how desperate this looks?

[liberal_in_GA]

10. My erstwhile rethug husband (now a strong Kerry supporter))

thinks that if this is aired, it will backfire in a major way--as long as it's framed as Bush's re-debate. Anyone agree?

Poor Bushie, that big bad Kerry man was so MEAN! :cry:

[seabeyond]

13. the whole point of debate

is to back and forth it, at the time of the debate. not go away and come back with answers once able to think and research the answers out

it makes bush look foolish

[Windy]

15. It certainly should!

And I would hope that the Kerry campaign would talk about it in that light! Maybe he should'nt come out with a speech afterward. Leave Bush on the defensive! Can't act presidential without his handlers and is incapable of independent thought. Let Kerry's rebuttal come in the debate on Friday where we can once again see Bush's ignorance and anger. You can't change peronality. Bush's was evident last week!

I still think complaints should be made to the FEC if its covered on the major networks in prime time.

[liberal_in_GA]

17. Should we plan

a major FEC email/phone call barrage?

[Imalittleteapot]

11. Can Kerry get (equal) air time to refute everything

that Bush says? Seems fair to me.

[Silent3]

14. Any links to info on this Bush speech?

I haven't seen anything about this speech mentioned anywhere in the news (other than the Yahoo link). When is it supposed to be happen? Where? Who's covering it?

[Windy]

16. The link is above.

They've also been talking about it on MSNBC and CNN.
Who knows about Faux. I refuse to watch it. Its dangerous to my blood pressure!

18. Matriarch Dorothy Walker taught her progeny to, "win at all cost but never

appear to want to win". Her progeny, (GHWB), taught his progeny and GWB is wanting to "win at all cost" whether or not he appears to want to win.}(

[David Zephyr]

19. Didn't He See the Blinking Red Light? The Debate is Over. He Lost.

What a jackass.

He is "pathetic" as Kerry says.
