The Spin Is On, Bush Is Gaining! Here's why.....
Every lie from the Bush administration was supported and spread by the mainstream media. It's still happening. It's time for the truth!

TIME FOR THE TRUTH!
A CHALLENGE TO THE NY TIMES
From TvNewsLIES , June 2004

The People have a right to the Truth as they have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. - Frank Norris

Only the very naïve are surprised when politicians stray from the truth. The more jaded among us have learned to be skeptical and cynically distrustful of those in power. But we also know that there are lies and there are damn lies. For more than three years now, the American people have been bombarded by their President and his cohorts with the most egregious, damn lies in recent history.

Tragically, the mainstream media has been complicit in supporting and disseminating these lies. The consequences of this unholy collaboration have been unbelievably devastating and deadly, and the time has come to demand the truth...

3. This week has been BIG for Bush!
I noticed that the tides have shifted this week.. I guess he got that post-dead-president boost. Also, I read that the garbage they've been adverstising against Kerry appears to be working. Unbelievable. The country is in the absolute toilet, and people still want Bush to be reelected. This was the first day this year when I really felt that it won't be close enough in November to keep them from stealing it.. or even that the morans might actually prefer Bush.

As Dems, I still am not convinced we are offering up a marketable alternative to Bush... Charisma won it for Clinton. Kerry is falling flat.. sadly. I DO hope he picks an exciting VP.. or else we're gonna have to work even harder till november.

9. Thank you.
The Media only wishes * had the numbers they are spewing. This BS only works on people with no brain and who need to be told how to vote. Hopefully, I am right.

11. You are so wrong. Look at the latest state polls. Kerry is ahead by 3-5%
Edited on Sun Jun-20-04 10:11 AM by TruthIsAll
He is ahead in  10 of 12 polls.

These are the actual and adjusted 12 poll averages.
Adj Kerry = Kerry + 2/3(undecided+nader)

5. Here's the truth
Watch my latest flash movie called "Mourning FOR America"

It compares Bush with Reagan (who doesn't even measure up to the 'gipper') and then shows people exactly how the "Reagan Revolution" screwed the whole country over and what it really did to our nation.

6. Truth doesn't seem to matter!
People adore Reagan...the image, and will deny or ignore the truth. Powell also repeated the Saddam-Al Qaeda connection, and to date, more than half the country STILL believes that Saddam was involved in 9/11. It's mind boggling....

12. Crying wolf in an empty and cold theater ...
BushCo's malfeasance is unsalvageable ...

There is a CORE rightist element who will ONLY vote for BushCo ... or not show up ..

There is a CORE leftist element that will only vote AGAINST BushCo .. or not show up ....

The 'undecided' in the middle is very narrow: there is enough CRAP about BushCo that cannot be rehabilitated .... Dead Presidents or no ... That middle will not sway in large numbers to BushCO ....

7. Relax. Additional leaks and anticipated CRIMINAL indictments
...of some of the top NeoCons will take center stage long before the November elections.

The NeoCons are gone...they just don't know it yet.

10. Exactly...
... I'm not prone to optimism (trust me on this!) but I don't think Bush* has any meaningful chance to get re-selected.

This few point bounce will fade in weeks. There is tons more bad news in the pipeline, and Bush* protestations to the contrary, the economy is not going to make any meaningful (to workers) recovery in the next few months.

Add f911, Plame indictments, legal problems from 5 directions and the fact that they've already spent a huge portion of their campaign nest egg to little effect, and things are looking good.

Kerry is sitting back and gathering his money and his forces. When the time is right (it is way too early) he will strike and seal the deal.

We're ok. Still have work to do, but we're ok.

8. Numbers got a boost from reagan's death
America has a very short attention span. They watched the Reagan funeralathon and waxed nostaligic. The numbers reflect what the media is telling the sheeple. Google some news searches on the stories we know about. You will find tons of stories in the International press and no coverage by mainstream corporate media. This is the problem. The press is owned and controlled by the same corporations who are the $$ behind this administration. Watch the ads during the Sunday morning talking heads shows. These people control the job market, they control the media, and they finance the Republican party.
