Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias
How the Media Vote. Surveys of journalists’ self-reported voting habits show them backing the Democratic candidate in every presidential election since 1964, including landslide losers George McGovern, Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis. In 2004, a poll conducted by the University of Connecticut found journalists backed John Kerry over George W. ...

Liberal Media Lies
Political logic augurs a Democratic triumph in looming US elections but Barack Obama’s White House duel with John McCain is still a statistical tie, prompting some to wonder why he is yet to break away. Political logic augurs a democratic triumph? Augur: To predict, especially from signs or omens; foretell. What signs or omens are they looking ...

Re: Put Obama on the spot with his lies-Part 2
Obama misleads and LIES on Oil Profits Speaking to a town hall meeting on July 31, 2008. Barack Obama tries to slant the money made by the oil industry as being bad. What he once again neglected, ignored, chose not to mention on purpose is the record amount of money the United States Government has raked in from Exxon. Once again the politicians ...

Obama should quite? NOT!!!
I don't beleive that there is any reason that Obama should quite or even be asked to quit. He is the best choice for the Democratic party and the only chance we have of beating McCain in November. Just because HRC has an agenda of her own which has no concern for either the Democratic party or the American people which stops her from pulling out ...

Conveniency for conveniency sakes
It is so sad that the media influences the outcome of how public opinions and votes go. The media with their twisted view of the people's will should BUTT out of the news business or should I call it in the INFLUENCE business. Maybe that is politics as media at its best but sadly enough it is very discomforting that the POWER of the MEDIA ...

The problem with an Obama nomination
Barack Obama will make a excellent President, but not yet. He is only two, or so years out of the Illinois State legislature. He just does not have the experience to be in charge of the mighty nuclear arsenal of The United States. He proved that by his decision to vote against the war in Iraq. Yes, that sounds crazy, but realize that the ...

Puerto Rico's Participation's
I don't believe that Puerto Rico should have no vote whatsoever in these preliminary elections, even if the democrats will or will not need Puerto Rico. As some of you might know, Puerto Ricans are not allowed to vote in the presidential elections, so then why should they choose who the candidates will be? If they will not be included in the ...

Dem Popular Vote: Wow . . . it's real close!
7,374,222 7,374,222 So, I was complaining about the lack of data on total vote counts from yesterday's primaries. Using CNN's up to date numbers, I did it myself. Note that not all precincts are in, but generally states have reported 90+ percent (most in the high 90s). So, as of now, where we are in Feb. 5 caucus goer and voter ...

N E G L E C T E D.....C O N S T I T U E N C Y..?
For better or worse, most people vote with their pocket-book. There is a group of people in the USA who are smart, who save their money, and actually want to pay more taxes! ( No, that is NOT a typo.....we DO want to pay more taxes! ) But we can't. Not in the USA. The government won't let us. Now, who the heck am I talking about? Those ...
