Today we should also pay attention to
STORIES OMMITTED by the Media.
The missing electronic voter cards for example.
the Saddam Death sentence.
Kerry's institutional arrogance.
HOW ABOUT THE FACT THAT NOW THE MSM IS GIVING UP THE SENATE for Democrats?
Reynolds' opponent, Jack Davis, has been slipping badly the past two weeks. He's now pledging not to reduce SS benefits or raise the retirement age, even though he said on a Buffalo, NY radio talk show that he would support reducing benefits and raising the retirement age.
Without getting into the 'whole SS issue, Davis has had to issue "clarification" on several of his statements. He's a very independent thinker - I've read of no visits by Senators Clinton or Schumer to assist his campaign, and he does not take any special interest money. But his flip-flopping on issues has hurt him.
Another New York House rep, Louise Slaughter, has not campaigned in almost two weeks due to having a fairly bad case of shingles, but her Republican opponent has received almost no financial assistance in his race from the Republican campaign organization at the national and state level.
Here 's this sunday's Media Nuggets
###### How low can they go! - First MSM, John Kerry & now Jack Carter[Jimmy Carter's son] trying to manipulate the Mom[democrat] of an Young Fallen Soldier and Fails Miserably. God Bless Those Heroes & their Families!
###### Michael. J. Fox should be ashamed!
###### Dee Dee Myers' husband & former NYTimer Todd Purdum writes a cover story on the architect, Karl Rove. Meanwhile, current "star" of NYTimes Fried his brain on RDS[happens when circulation & ad.revenue of his paper gets fried fast].
###### Chris Mathews of MSNBC Unfit to conduct Florida Gubernatorial debate? -> Another Florida paper Agrees.
###### NYTimes doctored Classified Iraq Document?
###### MSNBC's Washington D.C. VP & Hardball producer Tammy Haddad is on her way out as big bosses at GE are angry. CNN's election night sponsor is retirees group AARP[didn't they run the don't vote ad?]. Fox Re-considering Wesley Clark's military analyst-ship after his appearance on dem.antiwar ad [& lots of viewer outrage].
###### BDS backlash! - Air America Blacklisted by Advertisers! Soros people unhappy.
###### Rummy slaps Bill Kristol on Radio. Best Defense Secretary Ever -> Gateway Pundit
###### NYTimes fake-polling for dems Bull Dog Pundit expose!
###### Leading Newspapers Bleeding to death!
###### NY Post - Future of U.S. Newspapers! -> "Serious" newspapers like the NYTimes and the WashPost are seeing circulation declines, NYPost increases it's sales.
###### Fox News is showing serious signs of aging, led by steep audience declines - Media Life says. Nope. Because it 's become the Puppet of the MSM.
###### USA Today's "fake, but accurate" front pager.
###### Federal Judge Claude Hilton effectively places NYTimes in contempt of court saying it has no special previleges than an ordinary citizen.
There's a disconnect unless they think America is stupid. America thinks John Kerry hates the military and it showed last week. Once again we see precisely who is out of step with whom.
I agree with you, value voters, evangelicals, whatever you call them, will show up in force because of that preacher guy's gay prostitute/drug mess. And I bet this guarantees the one man/one woman marriage amendment in Colorado will pass with huge numbers.
John Mercurio, Hotline senior editor and Mark Plotkin, of WTOP Radio, gleefully chatter away on C-Span. (For a minute, I thought Plotkin was PA Gov Rendell. Mercurio is so tickled a caller mentioned his spikey do....I get a kick out of metro-sexuals, so consumed with their appearance.
Sorry I missed anything significant they had to say, it's just too much trivia, so not my fault. Hey, what can I say, I'm consumed with their appearance too. (Example trivia: The state of Washington is the only state west of the Misissippi that voted on Humphrey in 68. ) ho hum
Plotkin does go after Diebold voting machines.
Mercurio a Maryland native, disagrees with it being so strongly identified as a democrat stronghold. He says big suburbs is trending republican, a point not often mentioned.
The two giggly guests think Democrats will have their 2008 convention in Denver. Republicans already announced theirs will be in Minnesota.
Yes, Tammy Duckworth's opponent got the big VA's endorsement.
26 possible presidential candidates on the next CQ cover which comes out on 8 November. The guest question whether Allen is still a serious contender after his macaca blunder, but they don't mention Kerry's fall from grace.
This is it! We are here! Just heard a lady from Texas on C-Spam about an hour ago claiming she was a conservative Republican who was now voting against us since she didn't get her way.
I frantically tried to call c-spam but couldn't get in, so I e-mailed them, did the same yesterday on EC's show when the libertarian candidate said illegal immigration was o.k. It's not of course.
The next few days will tell it all, we need to stay the course and most of all encourage all the boortz/libertarian/pissed off pubbies not to "punish GW" or the party by staying home or not voting for us and voting for the terrorists choice(Democrats) instead.
You cannot send a message to Republicans by voting for the party of Al Qaeda--the dems.
They still have an R after Lindsey Graham's name?
Wow, just heard some lib caller barely able to get his point across - sounded like he had marbles in his mouth. I don't know how you can listen to the morning call-in show. It will be an absolute nutterville the next 3-4 days, even more than it already is...
PBS is having a Sunday morning Democrat coffee clatch. They're all warm and fuzzy chatting together about how the Republicans are going to take a drubbing. ["Remember, 9/11 happened on Bush's watch!"] I'm sure that they'll have the Republican coffee clatch next hour--right?
Meanwhile, the Houston Comical has a huge headline on their opinion page--How Did the Republican Right Get It So Wrong? And the Comical ombudsman is very busy apologizing for the fact that the Comical carried the Kerry story this week on page 10.
I'm disgusted.
That was a wonderful report.
As always Anita, thanks for your tidbits. I concur wholeheartedly with your take on FNC. They have started to align themselves more and more with old media, and have lost me as a viewer on quite a few shows. Brit is still the best, but they need to wake up and smell the coffee; I hope they do so soon.
LOL
We ought to spray paint FREE NANCY on overpasses around the country just like they used to spray FREE HUEY back in the seventies.
The thought crossed my mind too. However, I think it is more likely too much or a bad batch of Botox this time.
Fun at Just For Kerry's expense, hat tip Fausta's blog. We really like her!
This guy is voting Democrat, but he's a riot
