I read today that Sen. Phil Gramm [R-Tex] resigned under pressure from the McCain campaign because the media was having a field day over his comment that America "had become a nation of whiners".
Once again we have allowed these charlatans of television news and print media to dictate what goes and what doesn't go in a presidential campaign.
I mean it was bad enough that we let them saddle us with two of the three worst candidates in history [hillary clinton was terrible too]. A decent man or woman wouldn't dare subject himself and his family to the type of smears anyone trying to run this country must put up with. Thomas Eagleton was trashed because he had once been hospitalized for a mental breakdown. Gary Hart because he couldn't keep his zipper up. Rudolf Guliani took it in the shorts because he had family friction and as for my favorite...the one man who could really lead this country...Colin Powell....we all know what was waiting for him from these evil scandal mongers...after all he grew up poor and Black on the streets of New York.
Without you media swine we would be looking forward to Colin Powell as our President.
None of the above smears have anything to do with the price of onions. They are utterly irrelevant to the issue of who can govern this country in its hour of need.
Maybe after eight years of obama those of us who are left will finally rise up and pull the plug on these evil "opinion-molders". For the very first time we are actually going to have an incompetent in the White House...possibly even an evil incompetent.
The media charlatans who regularly come into our living rooms disguised as newscasters should be held personally responsible for running these constant scams on the American people, substituting trash and glitz for needed public debate. Keeping the Mob excited...keeping them upset and hostile.
MARK MY WORDS.... whether obama wins or loses there will be days of bloody riots across this country as his Hate Hooligans either show Whitey whose now Boss or protest yet another act of Whitey's discrimination.
How did we lose these potentially good citizens? Why did Bill Cosby have to sadly note "whatever happened to Black is Beautiful"? I ask whatever happened to the cooperation and camaraderie we had in the days we campaigned for civil rights?
I'll tell you: the media just couldn't let go. Racial hatred sells. You sell racial hatred you get lots of air exposure. Looting, death destruction and hate....the media loves it...they thrive on it. Obama's spiritual mentor has for many years ended his sermons with "GOD DAMN AMERICA". One can just hear obama and his charmer of a wife saying "AAAAAAAAAAMEN!"
Thank you, media. You've fixed it so we have at least four years of misery and violence for our People to bear coming up.
I accuse you....
President Roosevelt told us "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself".
You traffic in fear...and you should pay....

What, are you going to meet with the Hillary old liberal girls? *snort*
All that care to speak about it after all this, probably.
Taking the weekend off
“What’s in it for me” has become the mantra. Our “esteemed” politicians appease the population with more government giveaways - not exactly bread and circuses, but it’s the same principle.
you are so right, Brother.
