A real Political thread

[TerryMiller]

As will a lot of folks. What does it take to get a decent candidate on the ballot? Not one that we can all agree with 100%, but one that we want in office. The republicans are a long ways away from acheiving what the dem's did in 2008.

On this one I have to agree that the leftist media stole the 2008 election for the Democrats. The Dems had a newby politician with no real voting record (voted 'present' a lot) and didn't give us much in the way of speeches except head swinging and platitudes like "hope" and "change." (Well, the unemployed sure learned what those two words mean.)

As for those that want to bash FOX News, please tell me the network and newspapers that have as many Dems employed as FOX does while still being accused of being a "right wing" network. As one who has been a student of journalism most of my life, I can tell you that most of the leftist media cannot give an unbiased report on any "political" story.

For those with no full understanding of the media, I recommend the book "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg.

Sooooo....are republicans the only people able to see the the major news sources are slanted to the left? The other half of the country doesn't have the ability to look at the candidates and weed through the BS and make a decision based on their candidates qualifications?

Well, I have the republican's answer to the question...."the left wing media did it". How did we ever get a republican in the White House before Fox Entertainment News? Oh yeah, the left wing media through us a bone.

Well, reality has a well-known liberal bias.

That's my opinion of the what is being said in this and the Sarah Palin threads.

Hang on now...so this isn't the Republicat's answer? are you just blow-in smoke? talk amongst your self's.

Wouldn't you rather have a candidate to vote for rather than just a name in the ballot so that you can vote against Obama?

This should be the goal of the GOP.
Good point.

Yeah, but the left wing media will never allow it.
