Why the heck are they showing all of Chimps speech? CNN and MSN NBC

They better show Clinton and not just the Chimp talking. I'm already getting pissed off because they are giving him to much airtime and not enough to Kerry.

1. my dad would say "power of the incumbency"

or somemsuch tripe to equate it with the evil clinton's re-election campaign, as if they stood on the same moral ground.

bah.

2. It must be...

...another one of those Important Policy Statements that Chimpy likes to make at his pep rallies.

4. Ratings

Kerry's landslide victory does get as many viewers as the horserace.

So they have to pump up bush.

7. They pump bush for other reasons too.

I believe there will be a strong cry to Kerry when he's in office to re-establish the Fairness doctrine. And all this Faux "news"-esque reporting (seen copied on MSNBC and CNN) will die a horrible, rattling death. And the commanding ratings those shows will never see those numbers again.

Tom Brokaw will cry like a baby when he has to go back to real reporting.

6. So we can see how scared they are!

Did you see the people behind him? Everytime the crowd cheered and whistled, they would look around like they were in the middle of a crowd of crazy people (which they were!).

Sorry to say this, but listening to it, it sounded like a Nazi rally with the 4moreyears! But when I went to mute it and SAW what the camera was showing...the two did not match! The people behind him (except for Coors) were not the exhuberant supporters that the audio was transmitting.

These people are in for a serious shock on Nov. 2nd...and it ain't gonna be pretty when it starts to sink in.
