Couldn't possibly be the case. I'm sure the only possible reason that this occurred is a plot that goes right up to the President to force the news media to cover a speech which, by your own account, said nothing new in the hope that the American people, hearing the same old stuff one more time, will give him such a tremendous boost in the polls that he will skip merrily to victory almost a full month from now in November. Yep, that's definitely it.

Wow. Are you familiar with occam's razor? It suggests that the simplest answer is often the right one. It is true that the things you suggest are possible. Or it's possible the bush campaign is an opportunistic group who will do what they feel like when they feel like it.
Are you saying that that isn't
possible? It's utilizing a terrorism tagline, and then using that to instead counter a horrible debate that I find so offensive.
Do I think the president lied? No. Do I think he was party to a lie? Yes. And complicity is enough. It's his show - he sets the tone. When his campaign makes decisions, he is responsible. That's part of how I define leadership. Is that crazy?
