Don't look now but MSNBC's coverage is painting Bush & the Republican

[The Backlash Cometh]

party as the Come-back kids.

Tune in. I've had it on for the last hour and it sounds like they're trying to sell the perception that he's single handedly succeeding to wake up his supporters. Revitalizing, as per Karl Rove's instructions.

[cautiouslywaiting]

1. Figures.

The media in this country sucks.

[spanone]

2. Screw 'em....too little too late. I think people have already made up their minds.

[TechBear_Seattle]

3. With the help of Diebold, Sequoia and ES & S, of course. n/t

[bdamomma]

5. I hope so, and I hope those who made up their minds vote

Democrat.

[spanone]

14. I do too. CNN had a staunch repub on this morning who's voting Dem.

He had a pic with him & the Ronald. Never voted for a Dem. He said that Bush* had set our country back 100 Years with the war! He said he is voting for Democrat this election. I think this could be prevalent thru the country, I hope so anyway. The Iraq War will not go away in a week.

[The Backlash Cometh]

9. I know, but I think what they're trying to do is to make sure their

supporters vote, and don't stay home. They need that because it will look suspicious if they steal Democratic votes, without a good number of Republicans actually showing up to vote.

4. check it out= Sunday NYTimes had pix of Jr. in a crowd in Indiana. Only place he could

muster a crowd. And it was older folks.

Today they have a pix of him in S. Carolina IIRC and its a tight shot. You KNOW he couldn't draw a decent crowd there, hence the tight shot.

Yup, they are trying really hard to make Bush look like he can rally support.

[The Backlash Cometh]

10. MSNBC has him with many, many more hand-picked groups.

Soundbite of the week: "I'm not saying they're unpatriotic. I'm saying they're wrong."

Huge crowd pleaser.

[Demit]

6. They can all clap their hands as hard as they want, Tinkerbell ain't

coming back.

[judaspriestess]

15. and thats because tinkerbell was killed in Iraq

on edit sorry: I am watching too, Chris Mathews, I think the dems will have a "moderate" win.

[Cobalt Violet]

7. That'll make it so much easier to steal.

Of course they're still planning to win.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

8. I've got it on for background noise.

I'd like to slap Brian Williams and his condescending attitude into the middle of next week.

[still_one]

11. This should surprise no one

Jack Welch when he controlled GE was a die-hard bush supporter, and his followers are obviously doing the same thing since they refused to air a commercial for the Dixie Chicks movie

ABC runs a propaganda peice on 9/11 blaming it on Bill Clinton

After six years people should realize what is occurring, especially labor, unions, and "soccer ball moms"

Nothing will surprise me though, however, if we come out in numbers and vote we will win, and if we don't there will be no tears from me because people deserve exactly what they get

[wisteria]

12. Yeah, using the same old tired tactics to scare their base into voting.

Terror,Taxes,Same Sex Marriage and abortion, and religion. Pathetic. Never mind the mess in Iraq, our Dead and maimed soldiers, Katrina, Terri Schivio, and pork spending- just for starters.

[alfredo]

13. The ones I've heard like Cook of the Cook Report is not so

thrilled at the prospects for the GOP.

Most voters are at work or watching soaps right now.

[Old and In the Way]

16. Think MSNBC has a dog in this fight?

Boy, do they. Without KO, it could rightfully be called the Republican views network.

[The Backlash Cometh]

27. Most curious.

It's like they're trying to buck the trend to vote towards the left, by helping the Repubs revitalize the right.

[malaise]

17. I'm watching them carefully n/t

[greeneyedboy]

18. B.S. noise - corporate media need to squeeze more "news" out of this week

so they will try to make an exciting horse race where none exists.

[radfringe]

19. :D tomorrow's polling result

[coco77]

20. The closer it gets to the election...

The more they will begin to change polls and tell us that the repugs are winning... did everybody vote yet...

[Emit]

21. It's an illusion. They are creating their own reality.

As posted previously on another thread:

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

22. It'd be great to see who, exactly, would make such a shift at this time.

Because these would be the type of voter who only wants to vote for "the winner" and cares about nothing else.

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. NOT Charlie Cook! he was JUST on and said

there's no way the repukes can turn these numbers around before the election. The Dems will pick up 20 seats in the House and it looks like we'll have a 50/50 Senate! Charlie Cook from The Cook Report.

[blm]

24. Gergen was saying the close races will swing Republican - no mention of

election fraud tactics, of course.

Election fraud is now solely the domain of Hugo Chavez and leftists interefring in US elections, according to our corporate media.

[bdamomma]

25. get ready for media whore spin, what else can they do

since they suck up to this regime, what else can they say, they are digging themselves in a hole, too, the crappy US media.

[uppityperson]

26. don't you have to go away before you can come back?

I wish they would go away.

[Marnieworld]

28. we've always been at war with eurasia

They create reality and prepare us for it.
