In some ways this Election is about both Kerry and Gore...but is it wise
Edited on Tue Oct-31-06 09:52 PM by KoKo01
to fight that battle now or is this battle part of "Now" so that it overwhelms everything else? :shrug: Do we not risk falling into the same old MEDIA TRAP we Dems always fall into...getting sidetracked from the issues at hand? Investigations and world news falls by the wayside when the MSM controls us and forces us into a "Food Fight." It helps their ratings but demoralizes us a bit for every night they rave on about the topics "they pick" or some "Operative" picks. Often we folks out here working on the ground don't know which side or for whom the "Operative" is working and which way the Media is going to play it. Sometimes some of it sounds like battles we've fought before...and not won because "the deck is stacked" in some way and we don't know who we are fighting against or for...

Just saying........

1. Actually I think that by * calling for Kerry to apologize was a huge
mistake....Kerry responded with backbone and the fight is on....this is as important as Clinton putting that neocon reporter in his place....

2. Know this - Whatever ANY Dem says, they will chop and edit and spin it and
even make it up if they have to - and their mediawhores will help them do it every step of the way.

You think if they were being opposed by Jesus, or Churchill or Lincoln that they wouldn't do the same to them?

It's what they DO. And it's WHY they bought control of most of the media in the 80s and 90s.

Expect it. Fight it. Expose it.

3. Bush and Snow are trying to "change the subject". It backfired.
Picking a fight with John Kerry about valor and service is not Bush's strong suit. Kerry came back hard. I expect them to drop it.

I agree with your post.
