On the third installment of O'Reilly's interview with Bush, he had Trump there to talk about it. At first I was concerned because Trump has really been outspoken about his disagreement with the War. But most of the interview was about how great the tax cuts were for the economy and how Republicans are always better for business. It was very good.

[BRIEFING.COM] Positive tone continues and although the rise has leveled off, there has yet to be any sign of significant selling pressures...technology stocks are leading the way...the Nasdaq is outperforming, and the SOX semiconductor index is up 3.8%...JP Morgan upgrades of Applied Materials and Novellus have been the catalysts...

"... freepers could have seized on, refuted, and given Kerry a spanking. W didn't. We ask "Why?" ..."


I wondered about his holding back on these Kerry lies too, but I think he's purposely not reacting to these because he wants Kerry to look like the whining pessimist, while he remains the optomist with a plan.

As much as we bemoan the MSM, I was surprised at how cautious they were last night after the debate. "Once bitten, twice shy". While we like to think of ourselves as the underdog, we have equal or superior matching power.

Over the next 24-48 hr news cycle, the talking points won't be Kerry's performance; rather, the focus will be Kerry's specific comments. It is the ability to closely scrutinize statements such as Kerry's that plays to the strength of alternative media.

Just watch what Rush, FR, Fox, et al hone in on over the coming days.

You guys have pretty much nailed it. These are issues that could quickly sink the already floundering flip-flopper. I've not listened to the post-debate pundits much, and I wonder if any of them have seized upon these issues?

[GVnana]

Yeah. This is going to be a very ugly media campaign. Let us not forget who the MSM really are, not the friends they pretend to be.

"Joe Scarborough: "He didn't clarify the Iraq point but I will tell you this, it was John Kerry's best performance ever."

And Scarborough also thought Kerry's speech at the DNC was his best speech ever.

BUSH WON!
