What RNC boost?

dd74 · 09-02-2004, 11:03 AM

Three things that may render GW's convention without boost...

1) GW's job approval is down in the last three months from 48% to 45%.

2) Detroit automakers slashing 9% of their production - Michael Moore will be all over that one.

3) And this in Florida, need we say a crucial GOP state:

She's called Frances.

ahhh haaa a conspiracy...the French trying to fix our election...maybe we should have the UN come in and supervise our election to make sure it's fair...(wink wink) ....

in one of the few insiteful comments i've heard on the news, a commentator said not to expect a boost after the convention because the voting public is polarized in they're views. they love or hate either canidate.

too bad that hurricane cant stay off shore and move north another 1000 miles & wipe out DC. a fresh start may be just what this nation needs.

As big as michale moore is it would ne hard for him to NOT be all over everything.

Maybe someone could clear some stuff up for me. In F/911 he eludes to some pretty damning stuff but never directly says this is this or that is that. Correct me if I am wrong. Like Bush and Bin Laden are buddies etc.

Now here is my take, Did he not do enough research to connect all the dots? Why does he stop short of drawing conclusions. Was he lazy in his research or did he not find a solid link on matters to make a direct statement. I am sure he would give up a year supply of twinkies and french fires with gravy to prove Bush the great satan.

I don't think this was even alluded to. Did you watch it?

The rest of your 'analysis' (second-hand I'm guessing) pretty much sums up his style. Lots of allusion, not much that is definite.

According to Moore, I think there was some relationship between Bush and some of Bin Laden's relatives. Moore has stated Bush flew a lot of Saudis out of the U.S. directly after 9/11.

As for his research, who knows? As far as F9/11 being a good documentary, the jury is out on that one. What makes a good piece of non-fiction is an ability to present both sides of an issue, and evidentially, Moore failed to do that. I say evidentially, because I have not seen the film.

MM didn't prove ****....I saw the movie....I got bored with it..nothing really inventive just more invective against Bush...I nearly fell asleep during the movie and could hardly wait for it to end....

I never really harped on the movie...or got upset...You just knew it was more of the same old same old blow hard cr@p., with nothing new or surprising to say...

I read the first 50 pages of "Dude, Where's My Country?" by Moore. Honestly, it was complete crap! I'm sitting there thinking, How the hell does he know all this? Where's the proof? Then I put it down to read some WH Auden WWII poetry - that will haunt you for days because he's been there.
