David Gergen ALERT re: Bush Speech.. Bush get's 6months to a year for this
Edited on Tue Jun-28-05 07:55 PM by KoKo01
I was horrified when I heard him say this...and he said "it's my political judgement that the President will get...."

I thought David was smoking something or had been paid big time.IMHO, Bush gave a worse performance than Lyndon Johnson's speeches before he decided not to run again...when most of us had started to laugh and ridicule him for his descriptions of how we were "Winning in Vietnam."

But. ALERT! Gergen may be saying that our polls were "fixed" and the "down numbers" for Bush before the speech will be "fixed" once again to go UP tommorrow because of this speech and continue in the year ahead leading into the mid-terms. I have trouble believing this. :eyes:
BUT....
I've watched Gergen long enough to know to have "flagged" what he said. What if it's ALL FIXED... Gergen knows that the next Gallup or Ipso-Reid or Zogby post is going to show Bush's approval ratings back way up....because THE FIX IS IN!

:shrug: I hope I'm wrong on my read of Gergen...But if he's trying to let us in on the "secret" I can believe it because EVERYTHING about THE CHIMP IS FIXED AND HAS BEEN FIXED SINCE HE FIRST RAN FOR PRESIDENT.

:rant:

We GOTTA FIGHT BACK WITH ALL WE HAVE....THEY ARE OUT TO SCAM US AGAIN!

3. You remind me of the old saying
Even Paranoids have real enemies!

I have become cynical enough to allow for the possibility that you are dead, center correct.

7. I heard that Gergen said he was insulted by the 9/ll references
but that he thought it would buy time with the American people. Does this mean that Gergen thinks we're a bunch of idiots?

8. Well....that's what I though! Does Gergen think we are a bunch of idiots?
Doesn't he know that we here on the "Internets" kept after DSM's and have worked to get Howard Dean into the DNC Leadership, and have supported petition after Petition to keep us out of Iraq, to Investigate Iraq and have kept the pressure on to get this "Monster" out of the White House?

But, that's when that evil thought came into my head. Being such a long time Gergen watcher...I thought he was telling us: "Don't rejoice yet...because he's "bought time." So, I think...JAYSUS CHRIST...it's the worse speech next to Johnson's last one's that I've heard a President give (well..maybe Nixon had a couple..but still) and Gergen is saying this piece of crap speech has BOUGHT BUSH TIME? How so...my brain says.

And, the scenario I posted is "how so" that I came up with. These folks are "on the ropes" but they've stolen two elections caused us to be attacked on 9/11 by incompetence or calculation, gotten us into another "war without end," and maybe Gergen is saying....don't think this is going to end...watch the poll numbers.

Since we know we are under "War Time Govt. Propaganda Control" how can we really believe that the Powers that Be didn't skew the down polls to bring them up tommorrow and the days afterward? Or, maybe Bush's "down polls" were accurate but now they can put the "pedal to the metal" and skew them up with some financial pressure on the Pollsters.

I hope to hell I'm wrong...I give anything to be wrong. But, I don't want to see us go off knowing Bush's "speech of his life" was a totally disaster and then be all in agony if the polls "SEEM" to prove us wrong.

I'll be happy to eat "crow" on this one...believe me! :shrug:
