I agree that MSNBC is out of control during this election. Fox is horribly right leaning, but MSNBC leans worse to the left.

When I want TV news, I turn on CNN- I see leanings both ways there but it's definitely more purple than red or blue.

Who the hell does she think she is trying to savage Barack Obama in her abusive and demeaning accusations and outright LIES against him? Ramping up violence and hatred and racism in her rallies. For you to even SUGGEST that Sarah Palin is some kind of victim of abuse makes me want to retch.
Savage Obama? By citing his "words" and record? What exactly is she lying about?

I know you guys want to keep running with the few people at Mac/Palin rallies who have gone over the line.

There is not doubt which party is the more vile. Just take a peek at your Left-wing blogs to determine the viciousness and putrid hatred coming from the Left.

There is NO comparison.

We all know the vicious Left have been much worse than any other group in this election cycle. The personal attacks and vileness perpetrated on Gov Palin is unlike anything I have ever seen. I would posit fear makes people do strange things, but the Left has been displaying this kind of behavior for 7 years - it's just their nature.
FINALLY! Someone on the left with some sense!

Stop whining. Everyone knows McCain has one foot in the grave and the thought of a President Palin is sending people to the left in droves.

Add to the fact that millions of Americans are suffering or are in fear of losing their jobs and/or nest egg's, yet the GOP has the nerve to spend $150,000 on clothes for Pistol Palin.

Could they not have made her presentable with a fraction of that?????

As trivial as the clothes issue may seem, its just another example of the past 8 years of mismanagement by the Republican Party.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. In the interests of being fair and balanced, here's another:

My Choice: Obama

Quote:
Sens. Obama and McCain have vastly different backgrounds and strikingly different visions of how America should navigate these tumultuous times. For me, the decision on who should be the next president transcends private friendship or political affiliation. My decision is based on the long-range needs of our country and which of these two candidates I feel is better suited to recharge America's economic health, restore its prestige abroad and inspire anew all people who cherish freedom and equality. For me, that person is Barack Obama.

This decision, and this hard-fought race, have been difficult for me. In 1860, my great-grandfather ran for the Maryland Senate from Frederick on the anti-slavery Republican ticket. At the top of that ticket was Abraham Lincoln. In 1912, my grandfather rallied to Theodore Roosevelt and the Bull Moose. Most of the Mathias family has voted Republican ever since. In 1964, as a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives, I astounded many of my friends and supporters by voting for Barry Goldwater, despite disagreeing with many of his views and despite his lack of support in my congressional district. I publicly endorse the Democratic candidate for president with a sense of the historic significance of the choice before us all.
Quote:
In these extraordinary times, Barack Obama has made a better case for why he is the right choice for president. He has earned my vote.

Who cares? In a week, Palin will be able to go back to podunk. She's a non-factor and a never-was. The country got a glimpse of her and decided that she is better seen, NOT HEARD.

Sounds like a get together of some conservatives and a few disgruntled Clinton supporters. Anyway you left this part out...Frank Luntz:

Quote:
On a more serious note, Luntz said it's a problem that the electorate chooses to watch news programs not for information but to confirm already-held beliefs, and that applies to viewers of CNN and Fox News as well.
Luntz predicted a Barack Obama victory
and said that one of the many reasons the Democrats have been more effective with their message is because, while Republicans dominate talk radio, Democrats have begun to dominate the Internet.
"I'd rather have the Internet," he said.

You have never heard of Linda Bloodworth-Thomason? Did you ever watch "Designing Women"?

Ok, new objective, destroy this woman, search her past records, slander her, contact the other agencies to begin reports on her that show her to be devious and corrupt. Tell Moveon.org to get a crew together and blanket the internet with gossip stories. Come on people, chop to it! Ready, Set Go!
