The media has heretofore treated Governor Bush with kid gloves. He has enjoyed an immunity from political attacks from enthralled journalists who have put their critical faculties on hold or have refused to employ their investigatory powers to delve into Bush's past and his record.

Sound familiar?

The sorry state of what passes for journalism today.

such a bias and out of date article. I bit there are similar articles for all the candidates

The media was still trying to sell Hillary (or keep her alive) up until just a few days ago.

One could also say that the media has been giving McCain a free ride all these weeks too. He's said some pretty outrageous things that the media has let slide.

I'm sure you've got more of these drew so FYI you could cut down on the clutter by just posting these in the "Is Obama the anticrist" thread (thanks bry, always ahead of the curve), at least until you find a decent issue to nail him for besides wanting to decrease wasteful spending and selective viewing of the news by conspiracy nuts.

you might think its wasteful but its always interesting to see how bias and intolerant members are of their opposition.

The majority of members here are secured in their beliefs so any out of context information whether it be print or video will not change any minds.

That is true... trying to win an argument on the internet is like trying to win a race in the... well nevermind

But I'm posting some of the same crap that is being posted by other members that are against McCain

**40sondacurb** · 05-18-2008, 08:26 PM

I'm not trying to stifle anyone's opinion, I just want to destroy your credibility

BTW I once saw Cnn compare Obama to the president of Iran because they dress the same, clicky. If anyone gets it light it's Hilary, but I support Obama so it's no surprise I see it that way considering I'm always focused on her negatives rather than Obama's.

Hey! I resemble that remark! Still, I have to disagree on a couple of points:
1. I post much nastier stuff about McCain.
2. You can go on about the shortcomings of the polls, but at least neither Hilary nor Obama have to perform the contortionist act of simultaneously trying to court the Republican base while moving to the center and at the same time disavowing support of the policies they supported to win the Party nomination, all the while saying that preserving fiscally irresponsible tax policies is really a Good Thing. Of course, we'll be out of Iraq by 2013, but unlike those gutless Democrats, McCain willl have "won".
