Bush readies 'significant speech'
By Bill Sammon
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
President Bush, stung by the erosion of his lead over Sen. John Kerry in post debate polls, has abruptly scheduled a major speech for tomorrow in hopes of halting Mr. Kerry's momentum.
In a rare, last-minute alteration to the presidential schedule, Mr. Bush has scrapped a planned talk on medical liability and instead will give what the White House called a "significant speech" about the two central issues of the campaign — the war on terrorism and the economy.
The president is said to be eager to rebut Mr. Kerry's attacks on such issues, especially those that came during Thursday's presidential debate.

I hope he announces he refuses to participate in any more sham debates with a cheating, lying demogogue. _________________ US Army Security Agency

The Iraqi SUrvey Group report is due out tomorrow.
Can you say "Suprise"
The CNS story is probably just a teaser.
It makes perfect sense that the real October Suprise is hard evidence of WMD and Terror ties.
God I hope so. It will be SOOOOOOO much fun to watch Kerry spin that one.
I can just see it... I supported the war and always said we might yet find WMD. I have been clear and consistent all along! |

This part of the article is significant:
The nonpartisan Hotline, which is published online by National Journal magazine, yesterday said Mr. Bush was leading in 31 states that have a total of 292 electoral votes, or 22 more than the 270 necessary for victory. Mr. Kerry was leading in 16 states that have a total of 200 electoral votes.
When the tally is narrowed to include only states in which a candidate's lead is outside the margin of error, Mr. Bush has locked up 22 states, with a total of 215 electoral votes. Mr. Kerry has locked up seven states, with a total of 119 electoral votes, according to the Hotline. |

Probably those 292 electoral votes for Bush include Florida, with 27 EV. Bush has to hang on to Florida to win. I'm not sure whether Bush did himself any favors helping hurricane victims on September 30, and tiring himself out before the debate, watched by lots of non-Floridians.
If the SBVT will be running any more ads (with $2 million in the bank, why not?) it would be a good idea to include Florida in the ad buy.
Bush did choose a great place to give his speech, in Wilkes-Barre PA. Lots of military people and Catholic voters (who may be tempted by Kerry) in that area, and PA has 21 EV. _________________ The traitor will crater! |

It is about dang time the president counters the free advertising the OIM has given, and continue to gives, to the pretender Kerry. John Kerry, the faux president.
What the heck is the point in being prez, if you can't pull rank once in awhile?
It's like my husband used to say when there would be a disagreement among officers-- "Sleeve Check!" And last time *I* checked, Kerry was still a senator from a state no bigger than one city in Texas, and Mr Bush was President of the United States. So you go, Mr. Bush! 'Sleeve check' those worthless weasels. |

A PREVIEW OF THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH TOMORROW [10/05 06:16 PM]
The President will really put the hammer down in his 10am speech tomorrow morning. He'll lay out his own positions concisely, but the bulk of the speech will be a damning tour through Kerry's Senate record (domestic and foreign policy) and his recent statements on Iraq, the war on terrorism, etc. It resurrects many of the best hits on Kerry that were dropped from the convention speech for the sake of being "positive" ... and it makes a lot of the rebuttals you probably wish you'd heard from the President in last week's debate. Should be a lot of fun — Joe Lockhart and Co. will be whining like little girls tomorrow.

Question: Is the MSM going to air it? And if so, where can I expect to see it? I gather that's 10 AM eastern time?

Great piont, everytime Kerry talks to the media it's a headline. I wonder how much coverage they will give the Pres. speech. My guess, not very much. |

But why 10 AM, when most responsible voters are at work? Why not 8 PM, when people can be glued to their TV? _________________ The traitor will crater! |

The American voters really need to hear directly from President Bush. I have been waiting. Will he give some new information such as these documents tying Sadam with OBL, etc? Will he just focus on Kerry's record and the stupidity of Kerry's "plan". Guess President Bush went to johnkerry.com to see it! Well, I am anxious to hear him tear into Kerry/Edwards. Let's hope. CTW

Is it going to be about Osama?
Or WMD?
If both, that would be spectaculer and Kerry can pack his stuff. Godness, can't wait.
About the timing, I think so that the media can report it through out the day and night. _________________ All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. |

If anyone is working, perhaps you can use a walkman and plug in headphones and listen via radio. |

There is already a NYT's article out saying the ISG is going to report tomorrow to Congress there are no WMDs or significant programs for developing them. _________________ US Army Security Agency

Giving a speech that time of day then allows time for people like Rush to get it out amont people that can't get TV. and to enforce what he says etc.
I certainly would hope FOX would run it, but 10:00 is during Dayside....hopefully they will prempt it. |
