Well now Americans....... we get it. It's not about personal responsibility since most republican hypocrites have shown us overr the past 8 years that they don't even get what that means. Rather it's all the media's fault! The republican bible-belt family-values party turn out to be a bunch of whiners with little character. That is what the republican party has shown America these past 8 years. John McCainMcBush showed his true colors by selecting a marginal candidate when he had MANY others (women included) to select from! He put money and his ambition over honor! That is typically what republicans do. But don't expect them to admit it ! And of course now the "Do as I SAY not as I DO" party must make all kinds of distorted spin to justify this joke to the dense and non-thinking American public about Palin somehow being ready to lead as VP and Obama not! Has anyone EVER heard the fricking republican hypocrites ever say that they did anything wrong. Is their judgment EVER wrong about ANYTHING?! Who are the people voting for these clowns apparently simply to save a few tax dollars which they perceive they will lose under the Democrats. Have some honor republican bible-thumpers? There are more important "family-values" than GOLD ! But I guess you hypocrites never learned that in religious school. Nope! They would rather blame it all on the media and claim the media is left (whatever the F that means)! I guess it really means that anyone who doesn't agree with them... and may actually be speaking the truth from time to time... is "liberal" ! If you don't like Obama then don't vote but don't vote for a McCain/McBush who has dishonered himself by selecting Palin.... and voting for the party that gives us Abramoff.... and Bush's blatant lies about WMD in the middle east! I will take a BJ in the white house as disgraceful as that was over these whining, narcissistic, self-aggrandizing republican hypocrites who apparently never made a mistake. Ever! Don't put further trust in a party that thinks they are a monarchy! And to think I actually once got suckered into liking this horse' ass G .W Bush. Not again... don't be a sucker !
They don't harbor it, they spew it. Imagine how many of the world's civilian women and children were killed by the total population of that hall since Viet Nam. Cowboys not heroes.
journalism is a calling for the left, as agriculture is a calling for the right... It works out well, we can eat what farmers produce and wipe our asses with what journalists write
More finger pointing at the media...! You know.... the media has way too much power to influence the electorate in all things... from what beer to drink to what clothes to wear to what lifestyle to live. They can and do influence voters. But there are plenty of right-wing demagogues in the media to offset this. The media on BOTH sides of the spectrum tend to use hyperbole and taint the news to their bias. The reason the far right-wingers describes the media as "left" or "liberal" is because they can't agree with any premise that does not fit their greed-oriented, religious-hypocrite philosophy of life... "DO as I say not as I DO"! They preach the bible but demonstrate by actions that they do not follow it's philosophy of love thy neighbor! They have been shown (the religious right) to hate their next-door neighbor and those who are different... but they rarely forget to say grace! AND if you try to take some of it away and distribute it to others just a tad more they flip out! You will never hear a true republican right winger say "there but for the grace of God goes I"..... ! Nope. They will say "I earned it" and others should do the same! Why should government give "handouts" to their fellow humans? Let them pull themselves up by their bootstraps when in fact some people just didn't get lucky and don't even have boots! Don't tell me democrats don't expect people to "earn their way", to have responsibility for their destiny! The only difference is that democrats have compassion and believe some people need a push to get out of the gate! If it was up to the right-wing hypocrites............ women would not vote, blacks would still be slaves and more people would be sleeping on park benches while the good olde boys drove by in Rolls Royces and Mercedes SLs! So......... if the so-called "left" is in power again the gap between the obscenely rich may narrow (just a tad) and right-wing greed mongers don't like that! They want to keep every dime and take it with them when they die! Like the pharoahs did eons ago.
So the democrat party was a right wing party back a few decades huh iceman? Better go back and study your history a little more. Does Senator Byrd ring a bell? Ever Study his History? Unbiased history that is? Ever look up the net worth of all your demo congressmen? Ever look up how much they give in charity?
The 'Axis of Evil' was a neoconservative construct designed to further scare the American populace into a state of meek submission. It was very effective post-9/11 political strategy, as the general public was ALREADY scared shitless. Scared people stop THINKING in broad terms - and become highly susceptible to the self-serving dogma of the nearest available 'protector' - a role Cheney and his clan eagerly embraced, to the ultimate detriment of the American public. Very basic elements of human nature at work here. I'm surprised that nobody's clued you in.
What does David Frum (author of the 'Axis of Evil' speech) think of John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate? "Mr. McCain's supporters argue that he is more serious about national security than Barack Obama. But the selection of Sarah Palin invites the question: How serious can he be if he would place such a neophyte second in line to the presidency? Barack Obama at least balanced his inexperience with Mr. Biden's experience. What is Mr. McCain doing?" http://www.nationalpost.com/nationalpost/story.html?id=756704
