The big danger I see leading up to the election is not McCain nor Palin, but

the media.

Watch them ignore Obama and the Democrats as much as they can get away with it and fill the print, the TV screens and the radio waves with McCain/Palin stories ad nauseum, especially Palin because she's attractive. Those of you who were pro-Obama and pro-Hillary didn't notice this during the primaries, but there was a deliberate effort to not report on the other candidates like Kucinich, Edwards and Richardson et al to make them not exist. The only time any one of them got traction was when they made a misstep that was then played over and over again excluding everything else they had done that was positive.

How do we prevent them from doing this? Get to your keyboards and start writing LTTE and emails every time they noticeably do this. Even getting LTTE published helps. Call into all the radio programs that are spinning lies if you don't mind being dumped on. Being factual and not getting emotional will get the message out. We can no longer afford to let them get away with lies, innuendo and other disinformation. This is war.

Yeah...that will work...

Ya know, they keep throwing crap like this out there but it isn't going to stick to the wall.  The problem is; it is too easy to prove them wrong.

DUmmies.  If the media are so biased against the democrats WHY has The Barackstar! been on the cover of Time magazine 7 times while McCain has only been on the cover 2 times? 

This is a very small example but it is representative of the whole.  Prove me wrong.

Not only that, but the ombudsman of the Washington Post said that the media coverage of Obama has been overwhelmingly positive in her own paper!  I believe that said ombudsman said words to this effect:  "It's embarassing."
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

I saw a statistic that showed the media outnumbered the delegates at the DNC about 6 to 1. What do you think the stats will be at the RNC?????  :whatever:

Whose Convention Is It? Reporters Outnumber Delegates 6 to 1

All that press, 90% + POSITIVE and yet The BarackStar! Still can't pull a double digit lead in the polls.

He will get his ass handed to him.

McCain blew uh-bam-uh off the front pages with his pick today.  Beautiful timing :)
