Why Doesn't Franken Discuss What BUSH Did Wrong In The Campaign
I suppose the 'easy' answer is "Kerry Lost".

But then again, even if Franken isn't going to talk about Fraud... he is just helping those who refuse to investigate the possiblity.

Why not go on and on about all the crap BUSH/ROVE did wrong?

All the stuff that hurt Bush so bad even the GOP knew they were the losers up until 1:45 pm Election Day?

At this point, I am starting to really dislike Franken... and he was my favorite show on Air America.

1. Try the Thom Hartman link instead - much more gratifying.
He's been on the fraud issue forever, written lots of articles about it. Also talks about the problems in the Dem leadership so he's not just ranting.

2. I'm starting not to listen to..
and Al used to be my favorite.

Now, quite frankly, I prefer Randi and Mike Malloy.

I do not believe that it benefits us to criticize our Kerry/Edwards ticket, or the campaign.

I agreed with what both Kerry and Edwards said, for the vast most part, and I agreed with the platform, for the most part.

Now, I have to become issue-focused, and support the orgs that jive with progressive beliefs.

Voter fraud and ignorance in this country cost us the election.

5. When you lose, the first thing you do is look at every mistake you made!
How ca you say it doesn't benefit us to criticize the campaign? They lost! We need to figure out what they did wrong and make sure it never happens again!

At the same time, we need to analyze what Bush did right and figure out a way for our side to do it better next time.

3. What Bush did wrong is not so important, we need to know what he did right
We are trying to win the next election. We need to look very carefully at what the loser did wrong and the winner did right!

Kerry made some big mistakes, Bush out-strategized us. We need to figure out what the next Democrat to run for president, and those who will run for congress and the senate need to do to beat the crooks they will run against.

4. Well, there *should* be a categorization....
... of the vile tactics and lies spewed by the Chimp. As well as analysis of the media's failings.

8. He's been talking about those things EVERY DAY for the past 8 months!
And he's written books on those subjects.

Have you been listening?

7. Al Franken is a wimp IMO
And his show is boring. He can't be controversial he wants to be liked too much.

11. Thank you for addressing this. Every mogul media mannequin should as well.
Edited on Mon Nov-08-04 02:57 PM by shance
Al Franken is not a mannequin, but he plays it a little too safe.

Dems have got to stop the masochist routine. No more THANK YOU SIR CAN I HAVE ANOTHER. Enough.

We kicked Republican tail.

Or shall I say *neo-con*, because so many of the Republicans were voting for OUR CANDIDATE!!!

The kicker is we actually had real, LIVE people out to vote****

Republicans could only drum up VIRTUAL ones!!! Kind of like their political rallies. Amazing what you can do with technology, isnt it?

:)
