WIll Pitt's Overview - forget the values thing, bush used
constant fear-mongering to keep the people terrified. In the end they cowed to the war president.

Will thinks that Kerry actually did better than expected against such a formidable tactic.

Take a listen.

1. Uhh, Bush won, Kerry lost. I'm supposed to be proud of that?
I think not, dude.

Its time for a new political party. There's no point to staying on board a sinking party.

2. But Kerry was playing political judo! He's a great closer!
Don't worry, Kerry will win! Will Pitt said those things too. So, how exactly did Kerry do better than expected?

I'm sorry, but that's a little more revisionism than I can take right now.

3. If Will is finding fault ANYwhere
but with vote fraud and suppression, he's way off base. At least for now. Somebody needs to clue him in on the many threads here that point to and discuss some of the details pointing to what many of us expected anyway: they stole this one too, with considerably more finesse thanks to the practice they've had.

4. A stolen election
No question it was stolen.

Even Tucker Carlson was conceding that Kerry won late in the afternoon or early evening on Nov. 2.

The Bush keepers are masterminds at spinning their message of fear and hatred but glossed over with something superficially acceptable.

The Iraq War was THE issue in this election. The Bushies slipped gays into the campaign to take heat off on badly the war is going for the Bushies.

Thank God for the internets (sic) or we'd have too little information to refute the Bushies's spin.
:kick:

5. Oh...if you can get over Pitt's hyperbole it was a good broadcast...I wish
Pitt had gone farther...but I got what he was saying. It's worth a listen...if it focused more on the Dems and what was wrong with him waiting for Kerry's announcement...rather than what he got hit with..that he wrote on with indelible ink on his desk top...but, he's just learning...I'd give him a break on this.

It's a new voice we should support in whatever way we can. :shrug:
