Tucker carlson just said Kerry will win on tweety

[rhino47]

he also proclaimed himself as a moderate.as if.

[stray cat]

1. Did Tweety have a heart attack?

nt

[rhino47]

5. Tweety didnt even flinch when *ucker said he was moderate

Though cambell seemed rather perplexed.

[Vickers]

2. He's a moderate? Jesus, I must be one of the Weathermen

:eyes:

[Was_Immer]

8. Hes no moderate. BUT ill say this... He's no Novak

So hes no douche bag.

[Snotcicles]

14. SDS we'er dating ourselves. n/t

[H2O Man]

21. Tucker don't need no

weatherman to know which way the wind blows!

In fairness, if you ever watch Tucker when he is not being paid by CNN to be on the extreme right, he has shown a very different side. He was one of the first republican talking heads to come out against the Bush war in Iraq, and he laid responsibility right where it belongs: with the administration for its stance, and him for believing it.

3. Hasn't Tucker said recently he won't be voting?

If that's the case, his opinion either way shouldn't matter, as he doesn't deserve one!

[BamaLefty]

4. Dropping like Flies...

They are conceding!

[dolo amber]

12. To say someone who chooses not to vote,

to not exercise their "sacred right as an American" by having to constantly choose between the *lesser of two evils*, to not endorse a candidate of any party as there is no candidate that person feels truly represents thier beliefs nor will follow through with their *promises* anyway as they are all beholden to the wealthy...To say they don't even deserve to have an OPINION? That's a bit of adding insult to injury. Shall we brand them with a scarlet "DV" as well?

Just sayin'. :)

[Snotcicles]

20. I liked Naders original campaign

remember? ( none of the above ) That was his brilliance, if that had taken a majority of votes new candidates would have needed to have been selected.

[ThomWV]

6. He Finally Got Something Right

A First.

[rhino47]

7. Maybe being bitch slapped by Jon Stewart woke him up

eom

[Comixfan]

9. Carlson kind of on the fringe

He's an oddball. A contrarian.

[rhino47]

11. Hiya Comixfan Welcome to Du

:hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce::hi: :bounce:

[TimeToGo]

10. Did they point out the "little gift" comment?

That the * campaign calls this a little gift from Osama shouel be big news. Boy does that say a lot about them. And it also says a lot about who Osama wants to win.

[rhino47]

13. On mtp they said it was a zero story,or a push. eom

[Fed Up]

15. Every little bit helps. Jon Stewart must have gotten into his head.

He probably can't sleep at night after Stewart outed him as a news whore, so he's trying to make amends.

I welcome it.

[The Backlash Cometh]

16. He only plays a rabid right-wing conservative on t.v.

Right.

[Kahuna]

17. I do believe that Tucker is a moderate. Tucker is becoming..

disenfranchised from his own party. He's beginning to realize it.

[tuvor]

18. Ucker, a moderate?

That's not how he gets introduced at the beginning of Crossfire.

[indigobusiness]

19. Tucker is just glomming on, hedging his future

He is the sort that won't concede a meaningful point in an argument. He is more useless to the public dialog than Novak. And Novak is uberuseless.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

22. He wrote an article for Esquire pretty much slamming Bush.....

A Conservative's Dilemma

A Conservative's Dilemma

-snip-

Then came September 11. Bush's approval ratings immediately soared to unbelievable heights. Yet the attacks initially made me sorry I'd voted for him. For most of that day, as my wife and children stayed inside our house listening to the roar of fighter jets overhead, and black smoke from the Pentagon hovered above our neighborhood, Bush failed to return to Washington. My family sat unprotected a few miles from the scene of a terrorist attack; Bush hid in a bunker on some faraway military base.

It infuriated me, as did the subsequent excuses from White House spokesmen. There was a risk in coming back, they said. Of course there was. That's the point: Leaders must take risks, sometimes physical ones. Bush should have elbowed his Secret Service detail out of the way and returned in a display of fearlessness to his nation's capital. I found it distressingly revealing that he didn't.


-snip-

Yet some of the anti-Bush critique was accurate. As he has managed and mismanaged the war in Iraq, Bush has proved stubborn, uncommunicative, and slow to adapt to changing realities. His enemies cite these qualities as evidence of Bush's arrogance. But Bush isn't inflexible because he's arrogant. He's inflexible because he's weak.

And it is because he is weak that we invaded Iraq. Bush may have been uncertain about how to fight terrorism after the fall of the Taliban, but many of those around him were not. Years before, they had concluded that an Iraq without Saddam would lead to a more stable, less dangerous Middle East. Against compelling evidence to the contrary, Bush accepted their judgment. I believe this was a colossal error—made in good faith, but a mistake nonetheless. It will be hard for me to vote for a man who has done something so reckless.

23. Compared to Bush, he is a moderate. RW'ers hate Tucker.

He also admitted pretty early on that going into Iraq was a mistake. He is a paleo-con. He can be a twit, but he and Killer Joe Scarborough operate from a porition based on some form of reptilian logic, whereas the neocons and Bushites base their beliefs on hysteria and cultlike mantras.
