My point is that the mainstream media has accrued ungodly power over the past 4 years; they no longer have ANY loyalty to the truth, but are simply the mouthpiece for radical liberals. What's tragic is that there are many supposedly conservative viewers/listeners who still naively believe that the news "reports the truth" objectively. My staunchly conservative elderly mother is one of these, and I'm constantly having to correct the thinking that she's been infected with from the news - so much so that she's officially labelled me a skeptic and cynic.
Todd Aiken and Richard Murdoch were "remade" into the false image that the media wanted - completely divorced from the truth. And enough conservatives and independents bought it.
Heartless is the description Rick Perry painted me with during one of the early debates as he spoke of the children of illegal immigrants.
But with regard to Murdoch and Aiken, I think future republicans, if any..., are going to have to keep those views to themselves. I understand that they are heartfelt and sincere, and I also agree that God gives souls to babies, however, there isn’t going to be any changing of those laws, women aren’t going to be forced to bear the children of their rapists regardless of the innocence of the baby, and there really is no point in discussing that unless they intend to throw the election in huge fashion.
