Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests The fun of politics.....

BP, do you really believe calling people "babies" will change the facts of this matter, or are you just another fool blinded by hatred? If so, I pity you.

I certainly do not support 100% of what Bush does. For example, I am disgusted that he has made no attempt to secure our Southern border, and would grant amnesty to people who entered this nation illegaly. But will I vote for Bush as oppossed to Kerry? Yes.

I really don't give a damn about political ads one way or another. I can find and analyze the facts of the canidates' records. And I can make my own decesion.

But whatever way I may lean politically, I am flat-out pissed off that a major news outlet would use these obviously false documents in a story just to advance a particular agenda.

And that's not the only example I can give you of the media flsuhing ethics down the toilet.

How about CNN not reqiuring Carville and Begela to take a leave of absensce until after the election when they sign on to the Kerry campaign as advisors?

Let me will give you another example. Last Friday, I was in Huntington WV to see the President speak. After the event, I witnessed between 50 and 75 protesters doing their best to relive the 60s. On the drive home, the local AM radio news, which is aligned with ABC, reported that "thousands" of protesters took to the streets.

I am not niave. I know that asking the media to only give the facts without any point of view is unrealistic. But when it becomes this obvious, I reserve the right to become angry about unprofessional partisans in an irresponsible attempt to sway the opinions of what they arrogantly consider to be a simple public.

oh, be angry! if you think bush is the best we can do for cic be very angry!


but seriously, some of you take these discussions way too seriously. if you're getting all choked up and red faced at some of the things you read/hear in the media or stuff posted on this board then you need to drink some metamucil or take a couple exlax or something. people around here been too uptight about sh!t recently. makes me wonder if this place will ever get back to normal when the elections are over...

Well, I apoligize for having a sense of ethics. Please forgive me, BP.

I am not "red faced" or "choked up" over SOMETHING I heard. I am pissed off that much of the media takes the America people for rubes.

BTW, I would like for you to please point out where I said Bush "is the best we can do"? Given two choices, I am choosing who I feel to be the best of the two.

Thank you for proving my point...

you ARE just another fool blinded by hatred.

don't point fingers at me, i brought no new mud to the mud slinging contest.

plus i'm not trying to defend dan rather or his story. we all know the media in general doesn't like bush, possibily because he comes off as an idiot at times... maybe i don't pay as much attention to the media as you guys do, but it seems they reported the heck out of the swift boat stuff.

anyway, i've actually pointed out my belief that bush had "help" to get into the nat guard long before this story broke. that's not to say it's wrong that he had "help", just an observation...

gonzo, you say i'm the one hating but you're the one directly calling me names? fall back chief.
