Wow. This is a great article.
Interesting analysis.
Yet another reason to despise McCain (as if one was needed).
Since the Pittsburgh market covers five congressional districts, I'm sure they weren't cheap . . . just cheap shots. In the end, Melissa was defeated by a pretty boy lobbyist bought and paid for by Soros.
It would have been nice if some of the RNC money spent to save total turds like Lincoln Chafee would've been spent against the Soros 527 ads. The sheeple need to learn what a real turd they have elected by supporting the Soros funded candidates.
speechless......wow.....good read.
Not that it will amount to a hill of beans other than make a statement based upon principles (such as I did in 04 when I learned who this scumbag Lewis was) but I encourage anyone who has insurance with PROGRESSIVE which is owned by Lewis, cancel their policies AND send a note along with their reasons for the cancellation.
I did that in 04 and though I know that this loony leftists is a Billionaire and my few hundred dollars a year will not make a scintilla of difference, its the principle involved and made me feel a whole lot better--not to mention the fact that I saved $120 a year with GEICO.
We lose because the information systems are in Dem hands.
There are 3 ways our story gets told; school and universities, news media, and the entertainment media.
Conservatives do not have a significant presence in any of these. If you let your enemies tell your story, describe your philosophy, explain your motives, write your history, you are finished before you even start.
By the time we are filtered through a Democrat lens, its a surprise if we even recognize ourselves. Its a miracle if our kids don't have it indoctrinated out of them by the time they graduate school, and unless you are extraordinarily stubborn, clear-minded, or you live on Mars, the news and entertainment media will handle the indoctrination the schools missed.
So we have Rush and the internet, which is great, its not nothing, but 51% percent of Americans get their news from Oprah, and almost a hundred percent are educated in schools and universities taught by Dems, and their vote cancels yours.
Move On collected money from many individual donors. 699,255 donors are listed in the about us section of Move On Political Action.
Here is a quote:
"Because it’s a federal PAC, MoveOn.org Political Action can’t accept donations greater than $5,000. And in fact, MoveOn.org Political Action is mostly funded by people who give less than $100 – folks who don’t have a lot of money but want to see a change. Through 2004, MoveOn.org Political Action raised approximately $11 million dollars for 81 candidates from over 300,000 donors."
Did you know the volunteers for Move On made over 7 million calls for GOTV?
Serious question for anyone? What in the world drives someone like Soros to stick his filthy hands so far into hard core leftist politics in this country? I mean, why doesn't the bastard just go off and enjoy his ill gotten billions and leave this country alone?
McCain is an idiot and starts out each day proving it.
There are three factions of the pubbie party:
1. The religeoous right.
2. The libertarian wing.
3. The moderates.
See tagline.
"The mainstream media" is an unnecessary circumlocution - it's Big Journalism, and fellow travelers thereof. Big Journalism consists of a number of corporations, just as Major League Baseball consists of many nominally competitive teams. But MLB baseball is an entity which promotes interest in its games, and just so Big Journalism promotes its talk divorced from action and therefore from consequences and accountability."Take the dirty money out of politics"Big Journalism is naturally socialist because, since it does nothing but talk, it is best able to gain attention/importance by criticizing people who do things and therefore are vulnerable to the second guess. And socialism is nothing else but criticism and second guessing of those who do significant things. Socialists criticize not only those who provide our food, clothing, shelter, and fuel/transportation, but also those who provide security - notwithstanding the fact that police and the military are an essential part of the government so beloved of socialists.
This conceit is offensive because while it condemns the political contributions of non-journalists, it takes for granted that the money Big Journalism spends is pure as the wind-driven snow. There is no justification for that assumption, and there is no justification for the assumption that journalists are objective. The First Amendment doesn't say journalists are objective, it says journalists don't have to be objective."It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.""Citizenship in a Republic,"
Theodore Roosevelt,
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
Excellent points.
but the democrats don't mind "big money" in politics, .......
As long as it is THEIR big money supporting THEIR causes.
interesting points.
The Rabbi nails it.
The relentless attacks on the good name and even the character of good conservative Republicans across this land in the recent election was unprecedented.
McCain, Bush, the Congress and the SCOTUS have tied the hands of regular folks and given all the power to Soros and the Democrat Media.
We have no choice but to fight them and defeat them. Our free republic will soon be gone if we don't.
We have the means to do so, by the way.
