The reason we are now living in the USSA is because the GOP adheres to the rule of law and the socialists don’t, AND GET AWAY WITH IT EVERY TIME, because their allies in the press control the message.
Of course Bush stood around like a fool while Terri Schiavo starved to death because he didn’t want to upset the “rule of law”.
The law is whatever those in power choose it to be.
The left understands that fully.
“because their allies in the press control the message.”
I realize it is such a daily observation here that it becomes cliche, but it needs to be repeated - for most of america, the network and print media CONTROL THE MESSAGE.
They control the amount of coverage any topic or person gets, the slant/bias given to it, they can elevate a literal nobody to the level of presidential nominee (and actually elect him) while elevating an opposing candidate whose unpopularity in his own party was probably his biggest draw for them.
They can also just ignore someone, or only report on them in a negative or deprecating way (ron paul? his coverage was abysmal.) They could have won him the gop nomination if they had so wanted, I bet, such is their influence over public opinion.
Why is the GOP timid and the DNC brazen in so many categories? Because the GOP members know they will probably be crucified publicly, and the DNC know the item will not be widely reported if at all outside of talk radio.
Unfortunately, they control congress and the white house in 2 weeks, there are literally trillions of dollars to be stolen from the treasury this year, and this is their hour.
