The video proves that we aren’t very good at this, the left would have made an effective 60 second version that someone would actually watch.

Didn’t watch it myself but I’ve been saying the same thing for a while. We need to grab the new generation and the one just before it with optical stimuli. They do not take the time to read.

We have the much better argument and the future it brings is real hope and prosperity and not the illusions of the left.

U’r WC. I married a Whittle girl. Best reason in the world to give a bump.

Okay, how do you express the idea of causality in comic-book format and flashy grafx?

How do you draw a comic strip in the mode of Sin City that illuminates the fallacy (and consequences) of an illicit minor, or which outs somebody for appealing, in gross terms, to motive in lieu of argument?

Or do you just default to competitive promises of ice cream for everyone? Because that is the level at which comic-strip thought is transacted.

“The Cost of Media Bias-Did The Media STeal the Election?”

Nah. The “electorate” swallowed the propaganda, hook line and sinker. (How very strange; when the “electorate” swallows the bait, they become all-knowing, brilliant, intellectual and their self-esteem goes up one hundred percent and everyone in the world becomes a fascist; absolutely amazing.)

IMHO

The VIDEO IS GREAT. Oh, I’m sorry I have the ability to focus for more than 30 seconds for a sound byte.

I don't know what you do for a living but I will guess that it isn't sales. A nine minute video may not work for every demographic.

I just think it was the Democrats turn at the Presidency. Nothing more, nothing less. Republicans like to think that we get the Presidency forever and that is just not the case. We did have it one time for 12 years and that is about it. Typically we have the Presidency for a term or two and then it switches parties. I am sure that after Clinton, the Democrats thought they would have the Presidency forever too. Just does not happen. Our turn is coming soon.

Our turn is coming soon.

Not if organizations like ACORN and the other elements of the Democrat vote manufacturing industry have anything to say about it.

Their sole purpose is to insure that "our turn" never comes.

I'm starting to hate YouTube in a way. On the one hand, I see videos that I would NEVER see otherwise, and idiot politician gaffes are captured forever so that they can't deny them. On the other hand, so many links are to poorly produced, grainy videos that are five minutes long and have a minute or less of actual content.

That would be OK, but the issue is that YouTube videos are sequential search, while a printed article is random search. I can scan the article and see if it's worth my time or not. I can't do that with YouTube. I can drag the progress button over to a different part of the video, wait until the streaming bytes catch up, and see if that section is worth my time. Usually it's usually not.

YouTube is great if you have unlimited time, and IF you have something worth posting. In many cases, YouTube, IMHO, takes the place of taking the time to write a coherent essay that actually has some content to it.

We have to do better with the voting machines. I don’t think we did as well with them as we did in the past. /sarc. That is all I heard about after 2004...how we stole the election. If that were true than we should have won the election in 2008 easily. I just love stupid liberals. lol.

"Who are you with?"

The assumption is you cannot be an individual who thinks for one's self. You must be part of a group, led, manipulated, scripted and bussed in by professional "demonstration organizers." The left figures the right operates the way they do.

Susan R. is not only an idiot, she's nasty and hatefilled. She really has a low estimation of her fellow American. By revealing the true face of the MSN, she has done us a great service.

“I just think it was the Democrat’s turn at the presidency.”

Not as simple as that, I think.

The Democrats are internationalists and not Americans. They have a distaste for American sovereignty. They have contempt for the human rights that are recognized as
God-given by the Constitution. They also have an overbearing attitude that they are brilliant to the point of being the wisest beings in the universe.

To say it’s the Democrat turn for the presidency is to say that Mr. Soros does not contribute heavily to the Democrat party, Mr. Chavez did not applaud the election of
Mr. Obama, the cry for “change” did not echo socialist thought, that a crucifix was not covered over during one of Mr. Obama’s speeches, and that a radical, democrat bomb maker is not one of the people who influenced
Mr. Obama’s politics.

This was not a normal election where one party takes its turn at power. It was an election that was just another chapter in the “international struggle”.

IMHO
