How you can win the battle of "the bulge"

Promptergate (or whatever you prefer to call it) shows signs of re-entering the national dialogue in a big way. Large news organizations are interested.

Our biggest chance for a breakthrough concerns the allegation from White House insiders that Bill Clinton used an earpiece as well -- for security purposes, not during debates.

If Bill confirms this claim, the case against W as a debate cheater will gain an immense degree of credibility among swing voters.

And if that happens, Bush will lose.

So right now, all our efforts should go in one direction: We must beg Clinton to speak up. You need invest only a few seconds. You can get a message through to him via Hillary, using this convenient form.

What should you say? Mail to politicians always has more impact when individually worded. However, if you are really pressed for time, you can cut and paste this message:

Dear Senator Clinton,

Two sources, one of them a Secret Service agent, have alleged that several presidents -- including Bill Clinton -- used hidden earpieces for security purposes. Can you or your husband confirm this assertion? The matter is extremely important. (No-one is claiming that your husband used such a device during any debates.)
I think we are more likely to get a response if we make it clear that we are not accusing Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing in this regard.

The Clinton Presidential Center (a.k.a., the Library) can be contacted here. I presume they will pass along messages to President Clinton.

The matter is urgent. If Clinton says "Yes, presidents do sometimes use earpieces," the tale of Bush and the bulge will almost certainly hop onto front pages everywhere. If you want to take one simple step right now to impact the election -- you know what to do.

By the by: If you want to make sure the "real" media treats this story right, this page makes it easy to make sure your voice is heard.

There is an article about the bulge posted on Slate (www.msn.slate.com) this morning!

I hope this blows up before the election! Thanks for the links to Hillary and the Clinton Library - I"ve sent my posts.

Here's my theory: Bush has both a medical problem AND used a prompter in the debates. At the first debate, the prompter didn't work, explaining his desperation. At the other two, it did, so his answers were better. In any case, his recent behavior and inability to speak, combined with his appearance in the tape from 10 years ago, points to at least one medical problem. For example, check the new FDA warnings on anti-depressants, and the behavioral problems they can cause.
 
Political rules at the top of the rulebook:

Do everything according to protocols from the past.

Do everything according to political convienence only when you need to.

Protocols:

Reporting campaign finances
Correct filings
Reporting tax returns
*Submitting a physical for public scrutiny
more...

One is missing from this list.

What do you think that means?

The likelyhood as it stands at THIS MOMENT (that the story is dead to the majority of the world) is that it wont come out. Rememer the tape that was sent to the Gore campaign? Truth was never flushed. I learned a lesson then, and I am definitely not going to be like that guy from Oregon that sat on the Bush drunk driving story until the last minute. I have decided to devote the next few weeks of free time to discover if something being hidden here: I dont watch myself make the same mistake 2 times. Its one thing to make a mistake, another to watch yourself do it. It was a mistake for me not to dig into that 4 years ago, I had these same tools at my disposal.

Hey, look what this person posted at google groups!!!

I wrote:

> >By the way, why did the prez miss his physical? No candidate does that, thats strange.

Response from "Ray":

> He's too busy. Big deal. Are you really worried about that? Do you need another diversion?

My response:

Ray,

It's common for every candidate standing for president have a physical and have these results released to the public.

Call it part of the application process for the job.

Just like tax returns and other disclosures.

Busy? Doing hard work I imagine, I understand what you are saying completely.

Fit to Lead
The Bush-Kerry contest is a sporting one.
BY ERIC DEXHEIMER
Eric.Dexheimer@westword.com

"
Analysis: Both men are in superb condition for their ages (Bush, 58;
Kerry, 60). A low resting heart rate is nice to have in stressful
situations such as directing an overseas invasion. But a lower
body-mass index predicts greater longevity and a generally healthier
lifestyle -- good role-modeling for a comprehensive and affordable
prevention-based health-care system available to everyone.
"

I would like to know how the author can claim these men are both in
'superb condition' even though the President has not submitted to his
physical? Is he a doctor?

I emailed the writer and the following editors, for an answer, if I
get one, I will post it here.

Amazingingly dense:



Bush: Wireless or Not?

So far, the hottest tech topic surrounding the campaign is whether Bush was wired during his debate earlier this month with Kerry. San Jose Mercury News columnist Dan Gillmor thinks that it's high time that such props should be allowed. "In the 2004 presidential campaign's latest detour into relative trivia, there's been a small uproar over whether President Bush (news - web sites) was wearing some kind of audio receiver during one or more of the debates with John Kerry. The implication was that the president might have been getting unfair coaching. Bush and his people deny they broke the rules prohibiting such devices or other aids. I don't see any big reason to doubt them even if the bulge in the back of Bush's suit was remarkably rectangular. I would argue that in this case the rules need updating. Voters would have been better off if the candidates had all kinds of technology at their disposal, so they could double-check their own facts and precisely rebut opponents' misstatements," Gillmor wrote. "In the Information Age, the ability to find relevant information quickly and use it intuitively will be at least as important as the ability to memorize numbers or slogans. This will be as true for everyday people as presidents and their staffs, and powerful tools will soon be at our beck and call."

"Parties on alert for bombshells before election"

QUOTE:

"This year, with the help of the Internet, rumors of pending October surprises are flying on both sides of the partisan divide.
One such rumor has it that the Kerry campaign is about to spring evidence that Mr. Bush somehow was "wired," so aides could instruct him during the debates."


Anyone hear this?

I found a new one for you.
 
Forget Dan Gilmoor at the San Jose Mercury News . He's a two bit technology writer in a town (Silicon Valley) whose only concern is who has the biggest RAM or which tech CEO is being picked on by another CEO. He's sort of a techy gossip columnist. His views are myopic; he only sees things thorugh the lens of technology. He's seeing promptergate as an opportunity to jump on a national bandwagon when in fact he's just a little man with a local agenda. Ignore him.
 
Dear Senator Clinton,
I chose not to paste the pre-written letter from the website "Cannonfire" - it has to do with the 'bulge-in-the-jacket' or 'Promptergate' hubub. Like many Americans (at least half of us, I'd like to think), I am concerned with the methods and lengths to which the Bush administration is resorting to ensure the re-election of their candidate.
The gist of the letter that I saw on that website is a request for your husband, the former President, to confirm that there are appropriate occasions for a President to be in communication with the Secret Service or other advisers, and that - indeed - this is done on occasion. I think most reasonable people would agree that a televised debte is not an appropriate time for that sort of communication. Please pardon the request through this channel - time is precious and I feel that this issue needs to be addressed.

Respectfully,
Michael Murphy

Does President Bush have serious heart disease?
An internationally recognized NASA photo analyst, as reported in Salon.com on October 28, has provided clear evidence that Bush wore something under his jacket during the first debate. Look at a photo of the Lifecor defibrillator vest, a wearable defibrillator for people with "serious heart disease". While the details in the photo on Lifecor's site are not very clear, this site, which shows a schematic of the Lifecor vest, seems to show the distinct T shape that Dr. Nelson observed in his enhanced photos:
http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/mda/docs/p010030.html

Is Bush is hiding a serious medical condition from the public? In support of this idea, recall that Bush did not take his annual physical this August, had several falls this year, an odd incident with a pretzel, and his father has an irregular heart beat. Such a condition is often hereditary, can lead to a stroke, or death if not treated. As there are only a few days before the election, it is crucial that the American people learn the truth.

So, why is it that Bush couldn't be wearing an earpiece for security too? This isn't meant to be a defense of Dubya, btw. It just seems a more likely explanation to me. "Security" can be defined as national security as well as personal security. Perhaps he'd rather not get the news that another attack had been made from someone in the media but some NSA or other agent talking in his ear.
