Is the Pope Catholic?
Yes they are. They can’t believe they weren’t able to get Gore or Kerry elected, and they’re leaving no stone unturned this year. It’s only going to destroy any credibility they had left. Watch for a lot of big changes in big media news outlets next spring.
While Obama makes McCain look good by comparison, McCain is still no good.
Does the sun rise in the East?
Of course they are.
Do bears poop in the woods? ah huh ah huh ah huh
If McCain gets elected, he will be even luckier than Clinton.
Yes, but only because Kerry or Gore aren’t running.
Is there any doubt the MSM is not only trying to elect Obamaman, they are certainly giving him credit for President Bush’s hard slog with our valient military in Iraq since 9/11. This grifter Progressive Liberal, is out there trying to make America think he has already been elected. He is an arrogant man, bolstered by an arrogant media and the headlines they write/makeup. Obama tells them and us what we can and cannot say, write, tell and believe. The backlash coming, has a deafening sound.
But with McCain there are at least a few important areas we will hold ground in, and McCain wil continue the fight against the Islamic Jihad enemy in a strong fasion while Obama appease and disengage and will end up getting a whole lot of us killed before he is done.
Tell you what, I’m all for taking Obama to task on Soros. The guy disgust me.
Now, what do we do about our guy...
Check out McCain’s relationship with Soros that started in about 2001 and continued on for several years. Use those links. Tell me that doesn’t bother you.
BTW, I like your graphic. Nice.

In a word....YES!! They are trying to elect him...forget going through the process, they just want to coronate him NOW!!
Is this thread loaded with sarcastic rhetorical questions?
:^)
I do not care for McCain but there is no doubt the media are doing everything they can to elect Obama. At least nearly all the media.
not if they are polar bears
“Is the Media Trying to Elect Obama?”
Yes.
Is the Obamedia trying to elect liberals?
Is the Pope Catholic?
Do bears cr*p in the woods?
Well, now we know we’ve won in Iraq..The Dims are trying to take credit for it.

ABSOLUTELY.
They have presumed that “this is their year”.
The h*ll it aint.
If you believe in freedom, sign up to stop the socialists cold dead in their tracks.
Unfortunately true.....
..do dogs clean up after they sh.....oh wait
I finally had it today with the LA Times and called up to cancel my subscription. I don’t want to subsidize the Obama Fan Club Newsletter anymore.
There are several bright spots in the McCain agenda.
One: McCain has most fiscally responsible lower-spending and lower-taxes platform of any candidate since Reagan.

Eliminating Wasteful Spending:
John McCain Will Stop Earmarks, Pork-Barrel Spending, And Waste. He will veto every pork-laden spending bill and make their authors famous. As President, he will seek the line-item veto to reduce waste and eliminate earmarks that have led to corruption. Unlike Senators Clinton and Obama who have sought a nearly combined $3 billion in earmarks, John McCain has a clear record of not asking for earmarks. Earmarks restrict America’s ability to address genuine national priorities and interfere with fair, competitive markets.
John McCain Proposes A One-Year Spending Pause To Evaluate Programs. He believes that outside of essential military and veterans programs there should be a one-year pause in discretionary spending growth that should be used for a top-to-bottom review of the effectiveness of federal programs.
John McCain Has The Leadership And Courage To Make The Right Spending Choices. Reduced spending means making choices. John McCain will not leave office without balancing the federal budget. He will not do it with smoke and mirrors. When he leaves office, he wants to leave a budget that stays balanced after he is gone, and can weather the occasional downturn and unexpected contingency. John McCain will provide the courageous leadership necessary to control spending, including:
Eliminate Broken Government Programs. The federal government itself admits that one in five programs do not perform.
Reform Our Civil Service System To Promote Accountability And Good Performance In Our Federal Workforce.
Eliminating Earmarks, Wasteful Subsidies And Pork-Barrel Spending.
Reform Procurement Programs And Cut Wasteful Spending In Defense And Non-Defense Programs.
Budgetary Reform To Give Tax Cuts A Fair Chance:
John McCain Will Reform Budgeting To Treat Equally Spending And Taxes And To Stop Damaging Tax Hikes. Congress has unfairly stacked the deck to spend more and raise taxes. If a spending program is on the books, budgets assume that it is on the books forever – and continues to grow – even if the law says it expires. If low taxes are on the books, budgets don’t assume that they last forever. When they expire, those taxes are automatically raised.

Cutting Taxes For The Middle Class:
John McCain Will Cut Taxes For Middle Class Families. John McCain will permanently repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) – a tax that will be paid nearly exclusively by 25 million middle class families. Repealing this onerous tax will save middle class families nearly $60 billion in a single year. Under McCain’s plan, a middle class family with children set to pay the AMT will save an average of over $2,700 – a real tax cut for working families.
John McCain Will Double The Personal Exemption For Dependents. John McCain believes the tax code should be less of a burden on those, whether they are mothers and fathers or single parents, who are trying to raise a family. He proposes to raise the personal exemption for each dependent from $3,500 to $7,000.
Pro-Growth Tax Policy:
John McCain Will Keep Tax Rates Low. Entrepreneurs are at the heart of American innovation, growth and prosperity. They create the ultimate job security – a new, better opportunity if your current job goes away. Entrepreneurs should not be taxed into submission.
John McCain Will Maintain The Current Income And Investment Tax Rates And Fight The Democrats’ Plans For A Crippling Tax Increase In 2011. Left to their devices, Democrats will impose a massive $100 billion tax hike, almost $700 per taxpayer every year. John McCain has also long sought permanent and immediate reform of the estate tax, and supports raising the exemption from taxation on estates up to $10 million while cutting the tax rate to 15 percent.
John McCain Will Make It Harder To Raise Taxes. John McCain believes it should require a 3/5 majority vote in Congress to raise taxes.
John McCain Will Reward Saving, Investment And Risk-Taking. Low taxes on dividends and capital gains promote saving, channel investment dollars to innovative, high-value uses and not wasteful financial planning. John McCain will keep the current rates on dividends and capital gains and fight anti-growth efforts by Democrats.
John McCain Will Improve Business Investment Incentives. John McCain proposes to permit corporations to immediately deduct the cost of equipment investment, providing a valuable pro-growth investment incentive. Expensing of equipment and technology will provide an immediate boost to capital expenditures and reward investments in cutting-edge technologies.
Tax Cuts On American Employers:
John McCain Will Reduce The Federal Corporate Tax Rate To 25 Percent From 35 Percent. John McCain believes the taxes we impose on American companies should be no higher than the average rate our major trading partners impose on theirs. We currently have the second-highest combined corporate-tax rate in the industrialized world, and it is driving many businesses and the jobs they create overseas.
Pro-Innovation Tax Cuts:
John McCain Will Ban Internet Taxes. John McCain has been a leader in keeping the Internet free of taxes. As President, he will seek a permanent ban on taxes that threaten this engine of economic growth and prosperity.
John McCain Will Ban New Cell Phone Taxes. John McCain understands that the same people that would tax e-mail will tax every text message – and even 911 calls. John McCain will prohibit new cellular telephone taxes.
John McCain Will Establish Permanent Tax Credit Equal To 10 Percent Of Wages Spent On R&D. This reform will simplify the tax code, reward activity in the U.S., and make us more competitive with other countries. A permanent credit will provide an incentive to innovate and remove uncertainty. At a time when our companies need to be more competitive, we need to provide a permanent incentive to innovate, and remove the uncertainty now hanging over businesses as they make R&D investment decisions.
Retirement Tax Cut:
John McCain Will Act To Lower Medicare Premiums. Seniors face a growing threat from higher Medicare premiums that tax away their Social Security and retirement savings. John McCain has proposed comprehensive, pro-market health care and Medicare reforms to reduce health care costs and control increases in premiums – while delivering high-quality health care.
A Real Choice For Simpler Taxes:
John McCain Will Propose An Alternative New And Simpler Tax System – And Give America A Real Choice. When this reform is enacted, all who wish to stay under the current system could still do so, but everyone else could choose a vastly less complicated system with two tax rates and a generous standard deduction. Americans do not resent paying their rightful share of taxes – what they do resent is being subjected to thousands of pages of needless and often irrational rules and demands from the IRS.
LOL! Thanks for the answer to the quiz!!!! What cute babies!
“Well, now we know we’ve won in Iraq..The Dims are trying to take credit for it”
EXCELLENT LINE.
The media has virtually created Obama. Soros provided the funding. He's the puppet of the left-wing establishment. If you stripped away all of the rosy press coverage, the Obama girls, the softball questions, puff fake interviews, and messianic pep rallies with the silly mantras, what would you have left?
Why is Oprah one of the richest in the world? Why is Paris Hilton better known than most anybody else? Celebrity is everything to the masses. There is much to fear.
Yes! Next stupid question.
Of course. But they don’t really know the guy. It’s an unthinking, Pavlovian thing.
Does a bear fertilize the woods?
"Why is Oprah one of the richest in the world?" 36 posted on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 7:00:25 PM by AmusedBystander
Do you think she has occult powers? That she conjures at her New Age secret society ceremonies? Or just the multi-level pyramid schemes marketed to mentally-challenged viewers?
Paris was born into it.
Obama has been chosen. Whereas the U.S. Constitution was supposed to get us away from monarchy, coronations, and royal absolutism, the media intends to coronate Obama with the divine right of Kings. Or semi-divine right. He is being presented as a savior and redeemer with blasphemous overtones probably not understood by his largely liberal and secular humanist followers.
Is it only in America among apostate liberals and hysterical Democrats that the follower of a crackpot race-baiting preacher is welcomed as the new messiah? There need to be serious psychological studies of the followers. So they found a messiah who can pronounce "Arugula" in a baritone Venus Flytrap accent and now they are all swooning with hysteria? It's grotesque. As soon as he is off the teleprompter it's seventh-grade social studies all the way. This is a B science fiction movie like Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
No need even to post the article. Of course they are.
Just another Capitol Hill nitwit with rather large ears.
Did the media pick Oblama and McCain for us? Of course they did. The primary votes were not even necessary. They destroyed everyone but those two. And it worked. Now they have already confirmed the POTUS on Oblama. No vote even necessary.
Watch for bigger changes in web/news forums if they succeed!
I may not have chosen McCain in this horse race but I will not shoot myself in the foot to say I was right.
These people need to be stopped.
JC
I agree that they need to be stopped. Their licenses that reflect their promise to be even handed if they were given access to the nation’s airwave spectrum, should be on the line at some point.
Oh no, they aren't they really want the candidate from the Communist Party to win, but they don't know who it is, so they decided to go with someone KNOWN to be MARXIST!
Vote McCain '08
