You are wrong. The "Shining City on the Hill" was meant for all Americans, All of them. He was smart enough to NOT negate conservative gains. That is why he won landslide victories. We have no one up at this time that could ever even hope to do that.

We're not talking about RR and how he coalesced, we're talking about the whackydoodles and how they divide.

Shame, shame, there you go again. Liberals project, haters call people they hate haters. I have no need to project.

Really? And that after "projecting" every epithet you could lay your hands on? And I agree with you about the term "haters". I have certainly felt their wrath here today. Was the attempt to get me banned an act of love?

I just figured you wandered off the DU or daily kos threads by accident and found yourself here with real conservatives.

Well, I was looking for some conservatives, but found none on this thread.

Real conservatives are not filled with hostility and fury like you portray.

Like I portray? I think it was faux conservatives that called me every name in the book. Conservatives would have liked to explore the issue; Extremists explore the poster.....because they couldn't respond effectively.

Awwww, wait! You are really Melissa from the Edwards blogs, aren't you!

Never read 'em, but it appears you are a regular on them.

Possibly. Not been proven either way. They certainly shaded their reporting so as to present one point of view. I would hope you would be honest enough to admit that.

I can't admit to that because most of what I saw was exactly what I told you earlier. I saw both sides presented, but a lot more of the Terri protesters than the Michael Schiavo supporters. Now that was Fox, but I can't speak for the other networks. If I didn't see it, I didn't put it in my posts.

You're missing the point.

Ok, thanks.

Seriously though, when you play with fire, expect to get burned. Anyone who trusts the media is crazy. But in all fairness, with the Schiavo incident, the media gave your side far more coverage than the other side, only because your side was more entertaining. The media has no honorable intentions. When they smell red meat, they go for it. That also goes for the right wing sites like WND and life-site news. They distort, lie, and manipulate the truth. So don't expect any better out of the MSM.

The media needed to be 'brought in'? I doubt that very much.

Had the protesters simply kept a vigil, the media wouldn't have stayed at all. They saw a circus and enjoyed every second of the coverage. To be fair, so did your side of the debate. Your side used every opportunity to spin, just as Michael S. did. Both of you used the media to your best advantage, and now complain about it.

Got proof of that assertion?

What on earth did he have to gain from publicity? Until your side showed up and started the fuss, all was being handled quietly by both sides. Yes, the Terri site was up, but few people had even heard of her. All the publicity came from the pro-Terri side.

You're the one who thought people should not complain.

You can complain all you want. But I don't mind pointing out the absurdity of inviting in the press and then complaining about the coverage.

You're insults are as ineffective as your imagination is limited.

I expect no different from a Rudy supporter. This is their usual tact. *yawn* . If I were Rudy, I would fire you!

I think you've got your hands full attending to yourself. But that is one thing about whackydoodles, they do like to mind other folks business.

Yeah, and don't forget the "freedom loving" part...as long it is just their freedom, and no one else's.

You are an A*s. WTH are you doing on this thread?, Ace, could you maybe be minding business that belongs to people other than you? Jokey folks always end up revealing themselves! Ha Ha,Just laughin' my butt off! What a foolish hypocrite you are. Ha ha. Head on back to Rudy, there are still a few more hours in this day to insult conservatives.
