"Leftwingers in the media..." How redundant.

[Always Right]

It took 20 debates before Obama got a tough question. Oh the media hates him so much....

[Bahbah]

The rule in the media is you bloody up the Republicans, you do NOT bloody up the democrats, any of them.

Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos turned in shoddy, despicable performances.”

Wow - wish now I'd watched it. Sounds like they touched the right bases...

Critics are saying ABC should have focused on the “issues,” by which they mean Clinton’s and Obama’s policy proposals.

Policy proposals are easy to make. All of the dem candidates will stop the war, improve the economy, heal the sick, make the blind see and the deaf hear, and blah, blah, blah.

Promises are easy to make and difficult to keep. But character is, in fact, assessable, based upon past performance. Candidates who lie about their association with anti-American undesirables are not likely to be truthful with the populace on other matters. Candidates who claim they "misspoke" about being under enemy fire are not going to get much benefit of the doubt when they are trying to persuade the citizenry that their latest proposal will be beneficial to them. In other words: "character counts."

If John F. Kennedy were alive today to witness the depths to which his party has fallen, he would roll over in his grave.

I think of Obama and my mind pictures the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain.

[bpjam]

that screaming you hear is the sound of the MSM whose candidate just got his tail caught under the rocking chair.

Critics are saying ABC should have focused on the “issues,”...

Gibson was trying to assess the character of the two candidates, Stephanopoulos, no Bill Richardson he, was trying to support his Mistress by bringing up Obama's relationships.

One of the things the left doesn't want the American people to dwell on too much in this campaign is that character matters in a leader. As critical as I have been of President Bush the one thing I have never questioned is the man's character. You will note that his character is the one thing the leftist media exerts its greatest efforts to smear.

The left want voters to focus on technocratic proposals and imprint our values on the blank slates for their candidates. They would rather not look at the fact that nobody is going to follow a back stabbing traitor, no matter how well their proposals poll in focus groups. In a dangerous world having someone without the character to lead in a crisis could be a very bad thing.

I'm just happy the leftist media waited until now to start asking their chosen one some tough questions. If they would have done this 4 months ago the Democrat voters might have realized the man who they are about to nominate is an empty suit who hangs with people who most Americans would shun.

They knew all along that Hillary was hated by nearly half of the voters. Now they have to hide the fact that their new star is in the process of imploding.

[popdonnelly]

What are these people talking about? Oh, but if you screw a Republican in a debate, it’s all right. These critics don’t even have the first clue as to how biased they are. Obama should only answer the questions he wants to answer? That’s great qualifications for one of the hardest and most important jobs in the World. Boy, the inanity of some of these people makes you wonder, what’s wrong with America, that it produces such lame people?

Clear proof of how sharp the disconnect is between the scumbags in the ratmedia and actual Americans.
