walter cronkite said that chimpy was beatable........
He sure cured my negative mindset fast.

The stupid war and the economy are the two issues.

Thank you uncle walter for giving me hope.

4. How many here remember "CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite"?
Thirty minutes of...gasp...national and international NEWS, followed by Walter saying, "And that's the way it is."

No interviews with cast members of "Survivor", no endless puff pieces on our great President, no tabloid stories about cross-dressing county sheriffs that murder their wives.

Those were the days.

5. Greatest newscaster ever
I can't stand the plastic people who think that presenting news is tossing teasers out to keep you tuned into their program. They are the biggest fakes around. And that's the way it is.

7. I can't stand them either!
Walter Cronkite scared Larry King so badly, he had to eat crow and agree with everything Walter said to save face! Larry King knew that if he defended Bush, Walter could cut him to ribbons! Walter Cronkite is indeed a grand old patriot and a man people could trust!

Tonight Asscroft is on Larry King's show and we can see Larry's real face! The face with the BIG BROWN NOSE!

6. He is absolutely correct
Even my freeper friend admits that * is beatable and highly vulnerable. Mostly, "it's the economy, stupid." Let's face it, if people don't have jobs or any change in their pockets, it is harder and harder for them to get too excited over his leadership.

A few weeks ago, I was at a big dinner in LA with a group of people, one of whom was a lunkhead Gov. GangBang supporter, who claimed that "* can't be blamed for anything on his watch, because he's had so many unfair circumstances occur under his watch." I about spit my water across the table at him. Yeah, right - those "circumstances" have been all his own doing!

You can fool some of the people some of the time...

8. People without jobs have more time to THINK!
Plenty of time to VOTE too! Bush is toast if there is a fair election!
