Human Events ^ | 10-20-06 | Brian Fitzpatrick

"Values’ Voters Fade as Factor in U.S. Campaign,” crows an October 17 Reuters headline. If this is true, it isn’t happening by accident. With the November elections looming, the biggest players in the mainstream media are casting aside objectivity to mount an all-out effort to discourage values voters from going to the polls.

I'm staying home, but I'm mailing my ballot tomorrow. Hopefully the state of Oregon doesn't conveniently lose it.

"Newsweek columnist Jonathan Alter on MSNBC’s October 16 “Imus in the Morning” show: 'I hope this election is going to mark the demise of the values voters … that they don’t determine the election the way they were seen to have the last time around.'"

>Pelosi to be on '60 Minutes' tonight

What's "60 Minutes?"
CBS? What's "CBS?"
Live in the real world!

(I am thinking that
when the 'Rats don't "take control"
of the government,

the media must
finally admit they don't
shape public thinking.)

When you stop and think about it, the MSM has, in poker terms, gone "all in" on this election.

They are toast if it doesn't go their way. I'm thinking they are saving their best shots for these next couple weeks and we've only seen the surface of what they are up to.

That's the 13th time you've posted that. Now, I do agree with everything you've said, but what part is original or witty?

Doesn't this kind of cr*p just make you want to go out and vote? And here I was planning on staying home. At least that's what I tell the pollsters who call..."I'm a value voter and I'm staying home so that communists/socialists can seize control of the country."

It's not a beautiful nose but I like my nose. I'm not going to cut if off. I'll be voting on November 7th. The DNC's 'RATS in the "media" can cut their own noses off.

This "values voter" will not only vote, but will be working at the polls all day on Nov. 7th.

Thanks for the ping.

The media has been all in for decades. There is no republican leader they haven't done all in their power to destroy.

We must fight back, now more than ever. If that sounds cliched, believe me it isn't. Our troops don't deserve the betrayal of any patriotic America sitting home on election day.

I'm mailing in my absentee ballot tomorrow.

You've identified yourself as NOT being a Democrat. If you were a Democrat you would have said "I'm mailing in my 17 absentee ballots tomorrow."

Just tell the 'rats "to avoid long lines and parking hassles, Wednesday Nov 8, 2006 has been reserved as their "special" day to go to the polls".

The fact that they won't be able to vote will make the trip even quicker and easier.

Values voters need to wake up to the game the media are playing. If they stay home on November 7 to punish the Republicans, social conservatives will enable people who actively oppose their values to take control of Congress—and they’ll witness the wildest celebration bashes at media outlets in years.

The media is trying, but hopefully, they won't succeed.

Sounds like a plan.
