Tang/AWOL Will Clip 2-3% From Bush Putting Kerry Back Out Front
And that's a conservative estimate.

When the Texans For Truth go wide with their ads, it could destroy Bush's candidacy.

The desperate Bush talking heads keep barking on tv about how Bush's isn't running on his military record, but that Kerry was running on Vietnam.

Bullshit. Bush is running on his supposed "integrity." The truth now finally coming out about TXANG and the pulled strings and the pressure applied to let young George game the system means that he has LIED about this for the last ten years of his public life.

Bush is a liar. We have a liar as Commander In Chief. And that doesn't go to the heart of his candidacy, eh?

1. During the day, MILLIONS of people watch MSGOPCNNFOX...
and they are already spinning this crap that is has no relavence.

Tweety and Lou Dobbs are saying that we should move on. They had NO problem playing the Swiftboatsmears over and over and over and over and over.

How do we deal with GD Cable "News"???

We need our own Fox News Channel!!!

5. A lot of people who watch 60 Minutes don't watch much of
CNN, MSNBC, Faux, listen to Limbaugh, Hannity, O' Reilly, etc.

This sure didn't hurt Kerry tonight.

For Rove payback is a bitch. Instead of the pundits saying Kerry brought this on himself by talking about Nam - as if the SBVL's campaign wasn't already planned and ready to roll out - the pundits should be pointing out how Rove brought this down on AWOL by smearing Kerry with the Swift Boaters.

This will be harder for Rove to debunk than for Kerry - unlike Kerry I don't think we'll see Alabama vets coming out to defend AWOL unless they're hired Repugs.

2. What is destroyed is the Good Ol Boy I'm One of You image
That Bush has so carefully and falsely cultivated.

He said his family didn't pull strings when it is now obvious they were yanking them.

3. Al Hunt of the WSJ said *'s military record became fair game.......
....when the Swift Boat adds came out. Looks like the chickens have come home to roost.

4. not running on his military record?
Everytime they mention that, we need to respond with him being the WAR president.

The WAR president is crying that it's unfair for us to look at his military background.

6. Mission Accomplished anyone?
He chose to wear a military-style flight suit for his little stunt announcing the end of the war, and even "took the controls" of the plane he flew in on. He loves wearing those bomber jackets with his name stitched on, especially when he appears with troops.

9. Like he's a little kid dressing up for Halloween.
However, most children I know are far more intelligent than he is.

11. Great points on "War President"
Timing also couldn't be much worse for AWOL occurring less than a week from RNC "War Fest" and day after we hit the sad 1,000+ mark in Iraq (plus the horrendous death toll this month so far).

Then we have Graham linking the Saudis and reminding everyone of the redacted 9-11 report.

Plus Kitty Kelley's book coming out next week.

Wonder when they pull out Osama or are we about to go to Red Alert?
