Why Was Bush Yelling at Charlie Gibson?: Prez Debate II

from JoeUser Forums
Why was Bush beating up on poor Charlie Gibson? There Charlie was, glasses perched on his nose like some small town librarian, looking as harmless as he does every morning on Good Morning America. Bush was getting in his face, interrupting, and just generally bullying Charlie.

That can't look good. America is not reassured, Mr. President.

Is all the pressure getting to Bush? He seemed a little unhinged.

I read the comments that people write, and change things when I'm saying something that's clearly not true; unless I think it's clear that I'm joking.

As I've indicated, I thought it was so wildly implausible that "Mr. Gallup" would use the word "bitchslapped" that it was clear I was joking. I tried to make this extra clear by saying I was quoting the apocrypal "Mr. Gallup", so that no one would think "bitchslapped" was my interpretation of some more plausible quote.

I continue to think the Gallup post -- Gallup Sez Independents Strongly Favor Kerry: Prez Debate 2 -- was accurate. 53% of independents thought Kerry won the debate, compared to 37% Bush. The "Prez Debate 2" was separated because this post was one of several on the second presidential debate. There was no ulterior motive there, other than presenting these posts as part of s small series.

Some of my post titles are provocative, but certainly that doesn't disinguish me on JoeUser. Other recent JoeUser post titles: Liberals Kill U.S. Soldiers, The Democrats And Their Voter Fraud Plans and Kerry a Criminal???.

The question, then, is why are readers focusing on me? I can see two reasons: First, precisely because I nearly always link to the evidence backing my assertions, you can go see whether you agree with me or think I'm off my rocker. I believe in transparency.

Second, while I have concerns regarding Bush, I've repeatedly made it clear that I think Republican leaders are no less ethical than Democratic ones, the Right Wing and the Left Wing are more alike than they want to admit, and that Bush supporters are no less moral or intelligent than Bush critics. It's possible that these posts have led readers to hold me to a different standard than some of the other writers here.

This is all enormously complimentary to me. People are taking me more seriously than I take myself. While I'm surprised at the attention being paid to my posts, I appreciate it.

I'm genuinely sorry if my post titles haven't matched the increasing expectations of my readers -- I was honestly unaware of the change in what people look for from me. I will try to reflect your increased attention and interest.

'nuff said, i"m over it. Things should get back to normal after the election, unless whoever loses contests the election for a year


or Four.

Good lord, a recount is only legal when a recount is done in ALL COUNTIES of that state not just a couple of counties.
