Many more thoughts on the media. I despise the bastards. Despite high-minded conservative thought that says "the media is the media" and we have to live with it, I say BS.

First we demand congressional leaders who will challenge the drive-bys every damn day. Tony Snow is as close as we came last cycle. Rush and Co. have indeed carried their water for years and its time for them stand up.

Our candidates defenses were pathetic, granted, but Old Media cost us. The WaPo even admitted it, after 13 days of macaca stories.

the good news; some of our weakest links were exposed and eliminated and now the more aggressive, more conservative leadership may find its way to the leadership positions.

Damn straight. And, we need those who want our votes and are on these shows to respond to the bias of the show while on the show. I get sick when I see the question being set up from the left either go unnoticed or not responded to. I doubt there are many on our side who would do this but I guarantee those who do would rise to the top quickly.

AB - However you set this up and decide to report it I am in. Put me on this or the future ping list and I will be happy to contribute.

We can start now by helping the media down it's already serious slide into oblivion by finally cancelling Subscriptions to your Daily Left wing rags. Read your Newspaper on line,and you hurt their circulation,they get no ad money,and you do not have newsprint all over everything. Most People have this very strong umbilical cord between them and their Newspapers. They have a need to have Coffee and breakfast with their Newspaper,and when they continue to reward the Leftist Newspapers by subscribing they are giving them a greater leg up to hurt the GOP. In my small Community,the Newspaper went from Conservative to radical left in about 1 Year three or four years ago, and their circulation is not down even though they inexplicably Promoted Tim Mahomely over Joe Negron repeating the lie that he is a local Resident instead of the truth that he is a Palm Beach County Gated community resident. They discounted the fact that Mahomely has no experience in elected office,and is a Businessman who has a past of screwing over his clients taking down a Business to the tune of 1.2 Million that they invested in while he took a salary and benefits of $400,000. Joe Negron in the meantime was a 6 year State Representative who was on the Budget Committee and did a great job. This is a very conservative area,and Pro Life and Pro Gun,and of course the leftist Paper hid all the left wing nut pro abortion stands that Mahomely was for. The Paper is part of the Tampa Tribune,which used to be a decent paper but is fishwrpa material now. We have to start with the Hitler like propagandists in the Newspapers,they are not air,and they are pretty stupid to think that they will get away with it forever in a Conservative Community.
