And yes, we shall see. We have almost a year until the election. That's an eternity in politics. Who knows what will happen?


I just have to ask, how does one make a living as a presidential historian? One other point I'd like to make, Academics are rarely centrist.

I'm just guessing, but aren't they usually college professors? As for not being centrist, I would suggest that comes from being educated and enlightened.

Wrong is a judgement call, so lets examine the facts.

At least Obama is trying to make modest, almost milquetoast-y kinds of changes. Romney and Grinch will never change anything.


Have any of his former colleagues on the Hill come out to endorse him? Not that I have heard, and there have been plenty of "no comments" and one senator who said he doesn't want to see Newt anywhere near the presidency.

Is he considered an insider? I think even YOU called him that, correct?

As for Obama making changes, I'm quite sure you would never acknowledge any changes even if I spelled them out for you, so I will leave that alone.

That's it for the post. So one thing we will never agree on, but everything else is settled.

So much for your post.

You're making a straw man argument. I'm not crazy about Gingrich. But that's not the issue.

Like shoving government health care down our throats, even though the majority of the country doesn't want it? His "world apology for how s**ty America is tour"? I can acknowledge plenty of changes he's tried to make, NONE of which are beneficial to the country. But I assume you believe they are. Great. Good luck with that.

Jeebus effing crist! Okay, you win - up is really down, black is really white, daytime is really nighttime, left is really right and sideways is really straight-ahead!

Here, after a 30 second google, results of polls about healthcare:

http://healthcarereform.pro...hp?resourceID=004168

Opposition, even among Repubs, is easing.

Obama apologized for America? Not according to the FACTS:

Sure, you can find spin and bullshit in 30 seconds. I do more research, and don't trust the mainstream media. They've been carrying the water from Obama since they day he arrived on the scene. People like you are too biased to see it. But go ahead, insult me and believe what you want. Discussing things with you is about as useless as discussions with pyrthian and newf.

Same here. If you get time, list the 1,400 companies who asked for and received waivers from Obamacare. Post interviews with company owners talking about how they WON'T be hiring because of the additional costs or uncertainties Obama is creating.

As a card-carrying Independent, observing the current field of Republican presidential candidates (some real, some imagined, and some simply self-serving) from the outside reminds me of a quote attributed to the colorful but corrupt Louisiana Gov. Earl Long:

"[Louisiana voters] don't want good government, they want good entertainment."

FWIW ... Earl Long spent part of his last term in a mental hospital, where his wife had him committed after he took up with stripper Blaze Starr.

So, CBS news and the Washington Post are biased? Only in your imagination.

And calling you hopeless was not an insult, it was a lament. What a thin-skinned sissy! (Now THAT was an insult.)

While I view your perspectives of the different GOP candidates as interesting, I do agree with some of what you say about Mr. Gingrich. He is somewhat of a devisive candidate, there are folks that would vote for the devil before supporting him. Ironically, there are also quite a few folks that have the same feelings toward Mr. Obama. Mr. Gingrich is by far the most intelligent GOP candidate IMO. I don't know that he is electable but, as I said, just about anyone would get other's support over our current President. While I do respect your right to have an opinion as I'm sure you do mine, I would ask you to please work on that capitalization and punctation thing. Reading your posts two or three times to understand them is just a little frustrating. I do not say this lightly, I make my own errors but, I'm trying to work on that. Thanks.

Edited for typos, I make them also.

It's not the philosopher that's important, it's the relevance of his/her ideas. Even a fool's ravings can sometimes be profound truth when interpreted in a different context.

"[Voters] don't want good government, they want good entertainment" seemed particularly relevant for our times.

Like I said, they've been carrying the water for Obama - running interference for him, advocating for him and his policies, NOT asking him hard questions during the campaign, NOT criticizing him like they would/did with Bush - and so on.

However, it looks like the news for Obama is SO bad, they can't cover it all up anymore.

Congratulations. You just contradicted yourself with your own article. I guess you don't bother to read anything but the headline. While voters don't support the President's re-election, they sure don't want to replace him with a repug. So, what's left, a third-party candidate? That usually doesn't work well... for the GOP.

Perhaps not with those who think that the courts are 'legislators of last resort', but there are many of us who think that liberal justices have overstepped their charter and would love to see them shut down.

Same goes for regressive justices? What's good for the goose, etc.? Careful what you wish for. Probably just best to stick with the Constitution.

Apparently reading is not your strongsuit. According to that article, The criticism against CBS was not that the documents were forged, but that they were not autenticated before airing them on the news. In fact, the panel that ciriticized CBS did not comment one way or the other about the authenticity of the documents. Their conclusion was that Peter Tytell's analysis of the documents was sound, but did not offer any conclusion to the authenticity of the documents themselves.

Do you ever read in totality the articles you reference? You might want to start.

Great idea!
If only these "legislating judges" would do the same.

Hey, dipshit, if the documents weren't authenticated, then were did they come from? And why would CBS be so quick to put them on the air? Maybe some BIAS?

You are TOO STUPID to be having this conversation. You can't add up the factors that point to a conclusion, or at least a hint to a conclusion. The news media IS liberal biased. Do some f***ing research before you think you can be arrogant AND wrong. JazzMan couldn't figure that out, and evidently, you can't either.

Media Bias Is Real, Finds UCLA Political Scientist

How about an entire LIST of quotes from members of the media, including the former PRESIDENT OF CBS NEWS?

“Personally, I have a great affection for CBS News....But I stopped watching it some time ago. The unremitting liberal orientation finally became too much for me. I still check in, but less and less frequently. I increasingly drift to NBC News and Fox and MSNBC.”
— Former CBS News President Van Gordon Sauter in an op-ed published January 13, 2005 in the Los Angeles Times.

“Does anybody really think there wouldn’t have been more scrutiny if this [CBS’s bogus 60 Minutes National Guard story] had been about John Kerry?”
— Former 60 Minutes Executive Producer Don Hewitt at a January 10, 2005 meeting at CBS News, as quoted later that day by Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s Hardball.

“I know a lot of you believe that most people in the news business are liberal. Let me tell you, I know a lot of them, and they were almost evenly divided this time. Half of them liked Senator Kerry; the other half hated President Bush.”
— CBS’s Andy Rooney on the November 7, 2004 60 Minutes.

The notion of a neutral, non-partisan mainstream press was, to me at least, worth holding onto. Now it’s pretty much dead, at least as the public sees things. The seeds of its demise were sown with the best of intentions in the late 1960s, when the AMMP [American Mainstream Media Party] was founded in good measure (and ironically enough) by CBS. Old folks may remember the moment: Walter Cronkite stepped from behind the podium of presumed objectivity to become an outright foe of the war in Vietnam. Later, he and CBS’s star White House reporter, Dan Rather, went to painstaking lengths to make Watergate understandable to viewers, which helped seal Richard Nixon’s fate as the first President to resign. The crusades of Vietnam and Watergate seemed like a good idea at the time, even a noble one, not only to the press but perhaps to a majority of Americans. The problem was that, once the AMMP declared its existence by taking sides, there was no going back. A party was born.”
— Newsweek’s chief political reporter, Howard Fineman, “The ‘Media Party’ is over: CBS’ downfall is just the tip of the iceberg,” January 11 , 2005.

“I thought he [former CBS News correspondent Bernard Goldberg] made some very good points. There is just no question that I, among others, have a liberal bias. I mean, I’m consistently liberal in my opinions. And I think some of the, I think Dan [Rather] is transparently liberal. Now, he may not like to hear me say that. I always agree with him, too, but I think he should be more careful.”
— CBS’s 60 Minutes commentator Andy Rooney on Goldberg’s book, Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News, on CNN’s Larry King Live, June 5, 2002.

“There are lots of reasons fewer people are watching network news, and one of them, I’m more convinced than ever, is that our viewers simply don’t trust us. And for good reason. The old argument that the networks and other `media elites’ have a liberal bias is so blatantly true that it’s hardly worth discussing anymore. No, we don’t sit around in dark corners and plan strategies on how we’re going to slant the news. We don’t have to. It comes naturally to most reporters.....Mr. Engberg’s report set new standards for bias....Can you imagine, in your wildest dreams, a network news reporter calling Hillary Clinton’s health care plan ‘wacky?’...
“‘Reality Check’ suggests the viewers are going to get the facts. And then they can make up their mind. As Mr. Engberg might put it: ‘Time Out!’ You’d have a better chance of getting the facts someplace else — like Albania.”
— CBS reporter Bernard Goldberg on an anti-flat tax story by CBS reporter Eric Engberg, February 13, 1996 Wall Street Journal op-ed.

“I think liberalism lives — the notion that we don’t have to stay where we are as a society, we have promises to keep, and it is liberalism, whether people like it or not, which has animated all the years of my life. What on Earth did conservatism ever accomplish for our country? It was people who wanted to change things for the better.”
— Charles Kuralt talking with Morley Safer on the CBS special, One for the Road with Charles Kuralt, May 5, 1994.

==========================

And those are just the quotes from CBS personnel (current and former), or comments about CBS news.

The media is liberally biased. Period. Get some facts before you try to be so arrogant, kt, you're not equipped. You're fingers are typing checks your brain can't cash.

Have a heart attack. Have two, in case the first one doesn't do the trick. You are too vile to be part of our society. The sooner you are gone, the brighter our world will become.

Just a quick once over of this thread and the only comment I can add is about the health care program. Obama supporters like to try and convince us that it was desired by the majority, yet, state after state are passing their own constitutional amendments by popular vote that essentially nullifies it. In Ohio we just passed issue 3, which makes it illegal to require anyone or any business to purchase health care. It passed with 65% of the vote. Other states have preceded us, and many others are following, and I don't know of a single state so far where this was offered up for vote and not passed. That really doesn't appear to be a program that the majority of the population desires. Especially when it is routinely defeated by such an overwhelming margin.

Typical. Can't win an argument so you wish the guy dead. The only vile one I see here is you, for wishing death on another forum member. Maybe the forum would be better off without you. Fortunately, all we need to do is to ban you to accomplish this.

Now to get back on subject.
