So the "media elite" is "empowered" by this ruling, what's changed about any of that? What's the difference with the "elite media" pounding on Bush 6 days before, 60 days before, or even 300 days before the day of the mid-term election? NONE. Flashback to September of 2002, the "elite media" was busy siding with Howard Dean and the UN, being very critical with Bush's call for France, Germany and Russia to "get on the train before it leaves town", because Howard Dean, France, Germany, Russia and the elite media were bashing Bush's Iraq policy. Now CFR passes through all 3 branches of Government, Howard Dean endorses Al Gore, the UN; Germany, France and Russia were given the finger.

The ones shouting that the sky is falling seem to grasp at the belief that this only damages Bush and the Republicans, why is that? I just told you.

This won't make CNN or MSNBC or the left leaning hosts on FNC any less liberal than they were today, yesterday or 12 months ago or even next year on Election Eve.

Let's not forget we're involved in a war on terror, and the last thing I'm going to do is "sit at home" or "screw Bush and vote for Dean".

Thank God we're all free to do as we wish. If that means with my deep personal wholehearted respect of disagreeing with you, staying loyal to MY beliefs, and keeping Socialist kooks out of the White House who want nothing more than to ditch the War On Terror and get sidetracked on cozying up to countries torqued off they didn't jump on the bandwagon after Bush gave them 2 chances, I'll do that. This idea that we (collectively) should be torqued off over this piece of legislation ignoring the fact that Democrats are already using loopholes built into it, isn't my idea of individualism. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

If there is anyone to blame, it's Tom Daschle and the Democrats for logjamming this horsesh** from making it to the floor of the Senate. Yes, that's right, there were items in the original CFR that I would have just loved to have seen pass, it would have put stronger binds on this elite media we're all used to seeing and hearing about.

Bush didn't get his way, so we ended up with the watered down compromised version because Daschle has some b**** over the first incarnation.
