Bush Bounce Killed By CBS....
Who really cares if the documents are real?

Who really thinks that CBS is out to get Bush?

Who now doesn't think Bush is a spoiled brat that hasn't done a damn thing for anybody but his buddies?


Nobody except the dim witted and delusional.

The bounce was killed by CBS. Not Kerry. Not the coverage of chaos in Iraq (because there hasn't been any).

If this was a Rove plot then it has blown up in his face.

The attempts to discredit CBS and Dan Rather may work but its only going to rally the small base Bush has.

1. I wish CBS had waited just one day...
before they unloaded this f*rt..........

Now "they" don't have to really cover Kerry's brilliant foreign policy speech for more than a sound bite or two.

2. That is my sense from talking to my not so well informed
indy friends. I think it is now well established that Bush is a spoiled brat of a so-called man.

4. I hear just the opposite.
I hear that "the whole thing is a bunch of BS - nothing but lies and forgeries...". They've succeeded in getting people to dismiss everything - the facts included.

I think CBS fucked us.

14. Face it...
Most people don't dive in and soak up every bit of political information that they come across - that luxury is set aside for denizens of this board and freeperville. They are interested in getting their kids to ball games, keeping their jobs and living their lives...

It's been all over the airwaves about "CBS using forged documents to slam Bush". That's what they hear, that's what they know.

15. Do you think this will hurt Kerry?
Do you think Average Joe is thinking poor Bush?

Yes the average person might think CBS got punk'd, but they also have watched the spin masters working overtime.

And one thing people Are sick of is spin. So any time Bush needs to send the spin doctors out in force its never good news for his ratings.

13. "the whole thing is a bunch of BS - nothing but lies and forgeries..."
Not to those with a single independent brain cell. They're the only ones we have any chance at anyway.

8. I would prefer to believe
That the "Bush Bounce" never really existed (it has been shown that pollsters have been oversampling Republicans) and that, even if it did, maybe it faded because the public is finally wising up and realizing what a stupid, incompetent, dangerous fanatic Bush is.

11. The administration has now handled the AWOL story. They killed it.
We all know he was awol, the people will never be sure becuase of this confusing memo garbage.

I dont know if that matters much. We shall see.

12. They want to keep this alive
because the real truths about the war and the economy are things they don't want to talk about. If they can use even this to avoid it they will. Kerry already has started to hit them and they won't like it all.
