There are a lot of us who have been saying that Politico is not a friend of conservatives and cannot be trusted.
Anytime I see the word “Think Progress” or “Progressive” I think ultra liberal.
I was cricizing them and their parent organization before most people had ever heard of them:

As you can see from the first link, I was banned from their site (under one screen name) in 2006. I’ve since left a dozen or two comments under a different screen name. I very rarely see more than one other critic.
In order to have an impact, you have to actually help out.
You can have Beck when you pry him from my cold, dead mind!!!
snips = please read entire at link above - very revealing
"The Politico's "publisher, Robert L. Allbritton, 37, scion of the banking and media family that once owned the defunct Washington Star.
Allbritton "is best known for following his father, Joe L. Allbritton, as chief executive of the Riggs Bank, which was sold in 2004 after a Senate investigation found that Gen. Augusto Pinochet, the late Chilean dictator, had kept millions of dollars in secret accounts at Riggs. (!!!!!)
Robert Allbritton has been chairman and chief executive of Allbritton Communications, which owns television stations in Washington and a half dozen other markets, since 2001," Rowland wrote.
The Politico and politico.com, based in Arlington, Virginia, was launched January 23, 2007 , the date of President George W. Bush's State of the Union address, "with the mission of covering the politics of Capitol Hill and of the presidential campaign, and the business of Washington lobbying and advocacy with enterprise, style, and impact," its website states.
"The Politico has signed partnerships with all-news WTOP-103.5 FM as well as CBS, which will feature its stories and reporters on 'Face the Nation' and other CBS news programs. In addition, the startup will have its own 30-minute TV show that will air weekdays on NewsChannel 8, a sister Allbritton property whose newsroom it shares with [ABC News in Washington, D.C.] WJLA-TV (Channel 7).
"The newspaper will publish 30,000 copies to be distributed free of charge three days a week while Congress is in session, and one day a week during recess. The Web site, which also will be free, plans to be rich in video and is aimed at readers across the country," Kara Rowland reported January 22, 2007, in The Washington Times.
Politico reminds me of The Hill....bland on the outside but red on the inside
...founded by WashPo sluts wasn’t it?
hell, freepers being how they are (yep I include myself) do stupid stuff all the time and blabber uninformed and go off on tirades espousing “facts” even from Mother Jones or The Nation if it suits their perspective
