To: Kenneth E. Phillipps who wrote (615664 ) 9/1/2004 10:15:40 AM From: Thomas A Watson Respond to of 769670 The lies and libel of Kenneth E. Phillipps reveal the heart and soul of the party of the hero of hanoi. It is the hating moron association. It is a group that is alien to all American ideals. The libel posted by Kenneth E. Phillipps is no different than the lies of the hero of hanoi smearing President Nixon even in the Congressional Record. But even the fringe nut cases are seeing how putrid the hero of hanoi is. Imus Withdraws Endorsement of Kerry I call Tuesday at the GOP Convention Radio Day for the significance of three radio shows: 1. Long-time national talk-radio host Don Imus, an eclectic independent, has been a long-time pal of both John McCain and John Kerry. They are often on his show. mus does not like President Bush. He has been ‘pushing’ Kerry for almost two years. But, after the Swift Boat Fiasco, Imus, a former Marine, has now ‘withdrawn’ his Kerry endorsement and declared himself an ‘Independent’ on the race. So, guess who is arriving in a motorcade this morning to appear live on Imus’ Show? Former President George H.W. Bush! No dummies when it comes to the power of radio, Team Bush is making a move to win over Imus - or at least Imus’ national audience. Meanwhile, the President - still trying to recover from his “You can’t win the war” flap - suddenly appeared on Rush’s radio show yesterday. And the Vice President went on Sean Hannity in the afternooon. Bush and Cheney were both trying to calm the GOP base down after the ‘can’t win the war’ flap - and trying to do something else: maintain and even increase the base’s enthusiasm for November 2. President Bush apparently tells Karl Rove on a daily basis that he is terribly worried about ‘turnout’ and ‘getting out the vote.’ He knows that no such problem exists on the Left: the anti-Bush crowd just can’t wait to vote in November. But the White House is aware of a bit of a lack of enthusiasm inside the GOP base. And that is why they are always stoking the ‘base’ - and why they put the two candidates on the nation’s two largest and most influential talk radio shows on Tuesday. One other note: late last night in Nashville, Kerry arrived to speak today at the American Legion Convention. And, as predicted here yesterday, he said of Bush’s “can’t win the war” flap, “We can and we must win the War on Terror.” Look for this in today’s Legion speech - and on the stump from here on out. Bush’s mistake will not be allowed to go away by the Kerry forces.newsmax.com
