seems to me that most people around here are pretty partisan ... except that the right-leaning types are at least willing to listen to, and read, what the other side is saying...

it is you obama guys who *love* your candidate... not us ...

do i? oh yeah, you read the NY times, everyone knows how far right they are ... how many republicans have they endorsed in the last 50 years?

what about the rest of my post?

lurker said it best:
My appearance of partisanship comes only from what I percieve as a shocking lack of curiosity or cynicism about the man who might very well be president-elect in a week.

Can't argue with the ignorant. The NYT has been fair and balanced in their reporting. This has been discussed before--they only got the reputation of being 'leftist' when the republicans didn't like what they were saying--if you can't kill the message, kill the messanger. Don't forget it was the republicans that literally used the NYT to sell the war. How liberal was that???

I won't discuss this matter any further with you.

What difference does that make? Their editorial department is totally unrelated to their news department. Just because you are thinking that they endorsed more democrats over the years is NOT AN INDICATOR that they have a left wing biase in reporting the news. News is news. Opinion is opinion. They do not overlap.

Win or Lose, Many See Palin as Future of Party

Image

By KATE ZERNIKE and MONICA DAVEY
Published: October 28, 2008

Whether the Republican presidential ticket wins or loses on Tuesday, a group of prominent conservatives are planning to meet the next day to discuss the way forward, and whatever the outcome, Gov. Sarah Palin will be high on the agenda.

Ms. Palin, of Alaska, has had a rocky time since being named as Senator John McCain’s running mate, but to many conservatives her future remains bright. If Mr. McCain wins, she will give the social conservative movement a seat inside the White House. If he loses, she could emerge as a standard bearer for the movement and a potential presidential candidate in 2012, albeit one who will need to address her considerable political damage.

Her prospects, in or out of government, are the subject of intensive conversations among conservative leaders, including the group that will meet next Wednesday in rural Virginia to weigh social, foreign policy and economic issues, as well as the political landscape and the next presidential election.

Ms. Palin’s aides insist that winning this time around is her sole objective. But there are signs that she, too, is making sure that she is well positioned for the future if she and Mr. McCain lose.

In a week that most candidates give over to big rallies and closing arguments, she is giving policy speeches, like one on Wednesday on energy security, a move aides say is intended to help her be seen as more substantive.

On Monday, she held a brief meeting with the Israeli ambassador, reflecting an interest that aides say she expresses in intense foreign policy tutorials. She has increasingly separated herself from Mr. McCain’s positions, and this week tried to quarantine herself from the damage caused by news that the Republican National Committee had spent $150,000 on clothing and accessories for her and her family.

More and more, she has broken out of the cloister imposed early on by McCain aides, doing more interviews with local television stations and newspapers, and speaking off the cuff to reporters who travel with her.

Despite all the criticism, she has many supporters among Republicans who see her as bright, tough and a star in a party with relatively few on the horizon.

The sheep bleats "cite, CITE, CITE!"

But when the cite is provided the sheep goes back to chewing the fodder it's masters provide to fatten it up

But it's me who faces the charge of bias, of partisanship. While the sheep, of course, either singly or as a flock, are not. Just as the Times provides straight news, not propaganda, while the lone quasi-right voice in the wilderness of the MSM is, by it's very existence, biased

The bias of the MSM has been documented, time and again, by people on the right, and, grudgingly, by people on the left(of course, THEY say the bias tems from the 'fact' that they back the 'intelligent', 'correct' positions)

But mention that bias and the sheep will bleat--as if on cue--"untrue, UNTRUE, UNTRUE!"

This is where we live today. The sheep will bleat thamselves--and us--right into the slaughterhouse--if they can. And will will be stunned, bled out, gutted, chopped up, graded, and doled out to those their masters find most deserving. And they will march, bleating happily, down the chute, secure in the knowledge that the bolt will not strike their thick skulls.

And they will remain convinced of this even as they're hoisted up, to be bled out for their masters.

And yet I can, and have, said repeatedly that I don't like McCain at all. He is a wholly unsuitable candidate. He will do terrible things, and he will aquiesce to many of the same terrible things that come to him from the D congress that Obama would sign happily.

I can even point out his flaws, if you want--well, those things I see as flaws.

The only reason I suggest voting for the man is that the shred of gridlock that we'll get is a billion times preferable--to me--than the nightmare Obama will unleash with a D congress and a complicit media.

I challenge you, little lambs, to tell me things that you think are baaaad about Obama. I don't expect much of a response--you all are eyeing that bolt that's gonna smash into your skulls as if it's your fondest desire.

But what the hell, prove that you're NOT sheep.

Hello!
Nancy Reagan, president after faking medical records showing Ronald Reagan was unable to handle his duties.
In my opinion, president by coup.

I still can't fathom the thought process involved in voting for Reagan in the first place.
Then there's Arnold...


You should see the ads run for Mississippi between the Republican candidates.

"I'm against gay marriage just like my opponent is.
He's been lying about all of this.
The difference is my opponent wants to destroy democracy as we know it.
He also molests little children
."

And so on, every election.
Is it this bad anywhere else?

I voted for Reagan.

And fortunately, no. We don't get as many of those nasty ads here in CA--the republicans have given up on our state and don't waste their money here. Except on Prop 8. Well, I guess that's more money from the Mormons; but we're getting a lot of negative shit about that. They feel that California sets the trend for the rest of the country and if Prop 8 gets defeated here, then the whole rest of the country will follow. Fortunately, we have raised several million dollars more than they have, so we are out numbering their TV ads.

Keep your fingers crossed: NO ON PROP 8!!!
