It’s not that the media has sold out to anyone in particular. They’ve simply lost interest in higher journalistic standards. They’ll focus on whatever boosts their ratings.

Remember all the mainstream media play Rev. Wright’s sensational soundbytes got? Any credible scandal concerning Obama would instantly become their total center of attention. There would be a media feeding frenzy. They couldn’t help themselves.

This is why most people don’t consider most rumors about Obama believeable. If there was evidence, nothing could keep it out of the spotlight.

Oblowme does blow and fools around in limos and Edwards is a jackass.

4. Focusing teams of experts on ending welfare fraud.

By the way Dick Morris writes excellent political analysis - his columns are a must read.

The 2008 election is a contest between two very different sets of proposals and policies, which will have two very different sets of consequences.
Tax proposals and economic policies are only part of that difference, but they’re an especially good thing to look at because they will affect us directly, and can actually be reduced to dollars for a point-by-point comparison.

If you have no concern for how much money is in your pocket, or whose pocket that money winds up in, I suppose you can safely ignore that suggestion and just believe whatever a 30-second television ad tells you. You can then vote for the guy who endorsed it because you dislike the guy it attacks.

Otherwise, you really should look at the specifics and think about what they mean.

Does that sound like an attempt to disrupt and demoralize? Hey, it’s a purely selfish suggestion. If McCain gets elected, I get poorer. My dollars lose value, and the stuff I need to buy with them costs more. That’s what Bush economic policy did to me–to the tune of a 41% drop in the value of the dollar over a mere 8 years. And McCain promises more of the same, because his policies are the same. I’m sure as hell not part of that wealthy class that will rake in the money under the McCain tax cuts. Are you?

If you are, I really am wasting my time.

Quit using all those big words or they might think we’re educated:-)

Stop the hate:-)

You need that check from Axelrod, eh, and you don’t care that people here look askance at your candidate and your defenses of him?

You can’t be looking to change hearts and minds–that’s not going to happen.

Your only hope is to try to disrupt and demoralize. Don’t worry–Obama’s very presence on the national stage as a “presumptous” nominee is demoralizing enough.

But that won’t cause us to behave stupidly, and vote for the arrogant, inexperienced, prevaricating, doubletalkng, corporate-crook asshole.

So keep posting. When the troll numbers go up, we know the campaign is getting more and more frightened.

And they should.

Peace James!

Stop the hate:-)

The one who agreed to a divorce because “John wanted to be twenty five again. I didn’t.”

That wife? Whose pelvis was CRUSHED in a car accident? And who realized what that sort of overwhelming trauma did to any hope for a sex life?

Carol split with him because it would have been sooner or later that they parted, and she knew it. He wasn’t a total bastard, he adopted her children from her first husband (she left her first husband, McCain was her SECOND) , and cared for them (and continues to regard them) as his own. He wasn’t cheap with the settlement, either.

McCain admits he was an shitty husband, and couldn’t “deal.” He continues to apologize for it, too.

But then, he didn’t father any kids out of wedlock; suggesting he was respectful enough not to be sloppy, at any rate.

And John Edwards didn’t spend five and a half years as a POW, either. He went home to a wife every night. A wife who didn’t have a crushed pelvis.

There’s a reason Carol Shepp continues to support her ex-husband. She knows him better than you do, and she knows what was up with that faded, broken marriage. She knows what happened to POW wives–even those who didn’t get in car accidents–after years of absence.

It’s not as cut and dried as you seem to think.
