Sometimes dems talk funny too

I agree with both of you. Fallout is sooner to jump on Dem than a Rep. but he has made fun of Bush's speaking.

It's only cause the nuttiest dems get the most press probably.

No, but the voices should be balanced among both sides, not skewed far to the left.

Making fun of him isn't news worthy. We have a tradition in America of making fun of sitting presidents and people running for president. Kerry is not a big enough personality to be mocked.

But he is big enough to have his message delivered. If you can't see the difference that is just silly.

Your opinion is that the President is failing. Some would argue that he is doing fine, the real problem being the Dems criticizing everything that happens.

Glad to see you admit Kerry is a loser.

What we have here is not failure to communicate. What we have here is media double standards.

'Message board geeks' - when conservatives criticize lib pols on msg boards.

'Intellectually stimulating, enlightened elite' - when libs criticize conservative pols or conservatives or 'evil big oil' on message boards, TV, radio, print news.

Get a clue, buy a vowel; the media is giving Kerry a soapbox; blame them!

The issue isn't who can get on a soapbox. It is who should the media Mock. And the sitting president or those running for president have a tradition of being Mocked.

I think the media doesn't pay attention to the President when he criticizes the dems, because he doesn't do it. It is bad politics in the long run to constantly criticize. The sitting president doesn't need to resort to that measure. The "Losers" do.
