"The new plan, unveiled in September would also allow changes for people who hadn't had genital surgery, but could show substantial proof that they have undertaken other steps to irrevocably alter their gender-identity - like undergoing hormone therapy."

Of course, just as big a problem than "journalists" writing misleading articles, is "journalists" who don't know the difference between homosexuals and transsexuals.

Not misleading? The article is about...

"an imminent action by the New York City Board of Health to permit people born in the city to change the sex recorded on their birth certificates "

and

"Beginning next month, people born in New York will be able to change historical records – permanently."


Now, if the guy wrote the article in 1971, maybe it would make sense. Do people look into stories like this before they post them or just believe it as gospel because of the source??

Very very poor journalism.

"Beginning next month, people born in New York will be able to change historical records – permanently. People who were born girls will be able to say they were actually born boys. People who were actually born boys will be able to say they were born girls."


Fact is that..

"All but three states now allow people who have had a sex change to get a new birth certificate and New York City has done so since 1971. The city now issues about a dozen of the revised birth certificates a year. "

The story here is that in NYC, you no longer need to show proof of surgery any more. But unfortunately, this very very poorly written article misses the main point.

"Bush Lied" about Iraq. We KNOW this is a LIE, we HAVE THE PROOF that this is a lie, and yet the Dem Media Machine has driven this point home so often that it is now an accepted FACT... "

Do you have any links to the proof, because the Dem Media have lots of links and articles that seem well researched, lie by lie, like this

So id like to see the proof that their proof are just lies, to rebuke them.

Why the postmortem?? If you take a look at the results from previous 6th year midterms, the 6 year itch, this was hardly the resounding victory that the Dems seem to think it is. Even if there wasn't a war in iraq, and even if this congress hadnt been the laziest, greediest most venal congress we have ever seen, the 6th year midterm should still see the party in opposition take seats.

This is as "bad" as it gets. No party in a democracy can rule all the time. But here we are, the liberal media painting Bush as the worst president ever, nothing but bad news when it comes to republicans, mix in the historic "6 year itch" factor and yet , still the dems cant even take back the senate??

This is good bad news. This election was always going to be the low point, and yet, thanks to the Dems being a useless bunch of know-nothing say-nothing blowhards with no message and no direction for this country, the low point is not very low at all, and the climb back up is not going to be very difficult.
