I asked why shouldn't we subject the democRATS to the same scrutiny? Why should they get a pass? Why should they be allowed to remain vague and contradictory?
In response, you send me to your post #49? Why? What does your post #49 have to do with my question?
Admittedly my #49 does not say that liberal politicians should get a pass from journalism - only that it is inevitable that they will. Journalists report bad news - inevitably. Liberals propose impractical solutions which reaffirm that the journalists are right to point out the problem. One hand washes the other, and the only people who get criticized are those who actually are responsible for getting things done.Are oil prices high? Blame the people who, by producing oil and bringing it to market, are preventing the price from being even higher. And blame freedom, which allows people to buy cars and SUVs which use gasoline and allows people to go to the gas station and voluntarily pay the high price for gasoline. Do not blame the politicians who prevented ANWR drilling and offshore drilling, and nuclear power and the construction of new refineries.
The criticism is always on the responsible middle class, never of the rich who promote attacks on the middle class in the name of the poor and call it "liberalism." The rich in question being limosine liberals, including newspaper publishers.
