    I love the cheery left leaning spin.

    D baby. Always D.

    Considering that this web site is SUPPOSED to be a shining example of a non-partisan unbiased media, I find the opinion poll to be a bit off.

    Therefore I submit the following alternative opinion answers:

    a) she meets all of the constitutional qualifications.
    b) she knows how to make a decision.
    c) she’s more experienced than a community rabble rouser.
    d) I never thought about having a mooseburger-eating, gun-toting, anti-choice evangelical political neophyte one heartbeat away from the Oval Office, but even given the obvious juvenile tone, I rather like the idea.
    e) Who wrote and approved the original opinion poll for this SUPPOSEDLY shining example of a non-partisan unbiased e-magazine and why is there no consumer advocacy group standing up against biased and manipulative journalists pretending to be objective?

    á propos an entirely different spin . . .

    I have to wonder what would happen if, at the DNC this year,
    delegates and participants were offered a cute little purple heart band-aid to wear in mockery of
    the Mighty John McCain being shot down and captured as he was bombing the bejesus out of the people of Viet Nam?

    I can’t help but think it would have been handled differently by
    Big Media.
    I’ll bet that the Republican Talking Points on THAT hypothetical would have been mind blowing.

    This is the unfairness which we “progressives” have to deal with daily
    in the so-called LIBERAL media. Democrats and Progressives don’t have a clue as to how to fight filthy. It’s time they learn, because the MSM is not going to help us out anytime soon.

    Ya know it is interesting that everyone says they are the ones the MSM is biased against.

    Let’s get real, the MSM tried to skewer Palin.

    Let’s get real, the MSM Pilloried the Bush admin over body armor and unarmored hummers while Obama clearly states that he will reduce combat systems acquisitions. No MSM coverage other than a quickie sound byte there.

    More Reality: The current nationalisation of the mortgage industry is drawing huge MSM attention. Yet, the prominent pols who benifited most from Fanny/Freddy are barely mentioned. IF they were independent or republican, every outlet in existance would call for a special prosecutor.

    The final, total reality to end reality. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Sometimes it’s just weeds.

    And y’all can quote me :-)
