Are we at the "Tipping Point" with Kerry's Magnificent Speech...OR....
are we at the point of "I'm sick to death of all the scandals and that no one seems to be able to "sort it out" because of POLITICS?

Exhausted after fighting since Bush VS. Gore...this DU'er wonders why NO ONE LISTENED TO THE DEM GRASSROOTS!

WE TRIED TO TELL THEM...It's LOOKIN' GOOD for Dems in '06 according to the POLLS...but weren't the POLLS saying it was LOOKING GOOD in 2000/20002,20004?

AND....why do our DEMS not listen to those who were honest and true who didn't want Clinton Impeached, who knew "SELECTION 2000" was WRONG and 2002 was based on RUN UP TO IRAQ WAR...and 20004 (where we worked our butts off for our Dem Candidates) still had "Repug Media Machine...like with Clinton working 24/7 AGAINST US!"

Why is it that those of us who have been OUT HERE ...SUPPORTING THE NEW INTERNET MEDIA...are always the last to be listened to...as the MEDIA and THINK TANK MACHINES from BOTH SIDES...just divey up and decide WHAT WE SHOULD THINK?

When will WE be HEARD? Or, do YOU THINK we ARE BEING HEARD OUT THERE??? :shrug:

2. We've already tipped.
I think it happened in early September of last year when over 1000 people drowned and all Team Bush could do was try to blame Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco.

3. There are lots of "FLAGS" and stuff around Kerry...Methinks something
is going to come out that KERRY REALLY WON....Selection '04!

How else could Wolfie (CNN) and others have been allowed to interview Kerry last month at his SENATE SITE rather than being dragged into the CNN STUDIO? Kerry is getting the "FLAT TREATMENT" from CNN and the Networks BECAUSE it will be found out that he WON 04!

But...what does this mean for Al Gore in "Selection 2000?" :shrug:

6. I think that Kerry was able to set up the interviews
from his Senate office, because he rations out appearance sparsely enough that he's a good catch for them. Therefore, he can ask to be interviewed in his office. He was the last nominee and he nearly won - he is a good interview and may interest more people than the typical guest.

I think it's a great strategy for Kerry because it sets a different tone.

We KNOW Gore won and I can't remember the last time I saw him interviewed.

4. So Kerry is against the war. He's a little late coming to that idea.
Others weren't' so "slow" at the uptake. Why didn't he take an unequivocal position in the 2004 election - maybe he would have WON...

5. Speech? What speech?
Did anyone but a couple dozen hard-core DUers hear it? I didn't see it mentioned on the news. As usual.

7. It was on C-SPAN twice today and was mentioned
on MSM news yesterday. It was covered at least in the Boston Globe and in the WP.

8. CSPAN on Saturday? I rest my case!
Seven people saw it. And what is the "MSM" news?

9. "Big Timmeh" did mention it on MTP this a.m...and Wolfie did a little clip
of it. But, the mention was mostly in Kerry's timetable for Iraq withdrawal and didn't get into the Meat or the Heart of the speech and that it was the Anniversary of his VietNam "withdrawal" speech.

It it was a little "tip-o-the hat" to Kerry without specifics...and it's more than we usually get from the Whore Media...but so much less than the speech deserved...imho...

10. Mainstream media - I heard it on several radio
stations while driving yesterday. (CBS for one)

I'm not disputing you - but who other than the President gets real coverage. It would cut into the essential Natalie Halloway coverage.
