Yep. The very same LA Times in last year’s California recall election went on the Gray Davis bandwagon and repeatly repeated that Gray Davis’ aids are increasingly confidenct in him beating back the recall. Thank goodness that we now actually have an governor who managed to restored the State credit rating to something other than junk bond status.

Newflash LA Times, this trick didn’t work back then, it certaintly won’t work now.

It was pointed out by Peggy Noonan today that Weld was taken aback during the debates because Kerry told some outright lies. The Bush team needs to be prepared for this and call him on it the instant he tries it.

Good job. LA Times critics increasingly confident!

Kerry and the LA Times appear to be “shrewd” in the exact same manner. We should be happy that they have joined faces; perhaps they will meet similar fates.

Why does the L.A. Times spell “screwed” with an “sh”?

Eklektos or anyone, please confirm Noonan’s statement about Kerry during the Kerry-Weld debates. Is there a reference or link? Thanks.

Grannysmith, I heard Noonan say those very words last night on the Hannity radio show. Evidently, Bush is expecting that tactic and ready to pounce on Kerry. I predict Kerry will flip-flop several times during the debate in an embarrassing attempt to “nuance” his “positions” to death.

Another problem with this “Streetfighter Kerry” (hm, someone should market that as a videogame) meme is that the LA Times is comparing apples to oranges.

Kerry has NEVER had to campaign in an election that was not heavily skewed in favor of Democratic partisans (general election in Massachussettes, Primary caucus in Iowa, Primary election in New Hampshire and elsewhere). And what the LA Dog trainer alludes to, but fails to state specifically, is that Kerry won each of his “comebacks” by tacking left, something he does not have the luxury of doing this time around.

Um, it’s my impression that the media typically fawns at the effectiveness of unfair tactics. That the media has apparently dropped any pretense of being Shocked! Shocked! by Politics in America ought to be applauded.

The LA Times, CBS News, and all the other Democratic mouthpieces have been on a slippery slope ever since they started bashing President Bush way back when. They have now hit a new low with outright lies being printed and espoused as “truth”. It’s becoming downright hilarious to listen and read the latest trash they put out - sort of like watching the news show on Saturday Night Live - unbelievable!!!
