Edwards epilogue: Does the press really vet presidential candidates?
politico ^ | 2/28/2010 | MICHAEL CALDERONE

Posted on 02/28/2010 5:51:08 PM PST by steve0

Too little, too late mia culpa. BTW we have an actual copy of McCain's original certificate of live birth. Medial Elites coming to grips about helping elect the worst President(pretender) in HISTORY. "be they Barack Obama or Sarah Palin - can burst upon the national stage and seemingly overnight become candidates for higher office."

As one who sat through hundreds of hours of Blue’s Clues with my toddler son, the liberalness of “Steve” comes as not the slightest surprise.

I mention something else about “Steve” that wouldn’t come as a surprise, but that would only be a guess. An educated guess, but a guess all the same.

What’s interesting about the cartoon is this: The liberals always use “projection” - a technique whereby they project upon their enemies what in reality they themselves are doing or have done.

The cartoon was a classic liberal “projection” of what the liberals actually wanted to do. Yes, the cartoon has left a mark already. So prophetic!

I really like VP Cheney, but if he, President Bush or other republican leaders knew Obama was not qualified and didn't speak out, they are as guilty as any.

Never mind the bogus title given the politico article posted.

Right! The entire article was about Edwards with no mention of Obama. They act as if Obama doesn't exist.

The media didn't have time to vet Obama properly because they were too busy promoting him and working for his campaign. The process left us with an incompetent idiot who puts us all in danger with his ignorance and arrogance.

Vice Presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards was caught visiting his mistress and secret love child at 2:40 this morning in a Los Angeles hotel by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER.

Pretty sad when the National Inquirer is more competent than the MSM

Very true, and very sad, huh? May have been only doubts, but we don’t know. Cheney’s “look” shows intense ‘dislike’, to put it mildly.

My knee jerk reaction is YES. Maybe he could have said I am for the Republican team but really anyone but Zero, this guy is evil.
ALSO HATE:
Buchanan, Pres Primary Election, Yes I was treated fairly by media
Cantor, CommieCare summit, Yes we were fairly represented, got a fair shake
McCain, Asked whether he believes he’d had unfair media coverage, “I don’t think so. I think …it is what it is. I’m a big boy. And I’m certainly not complaining. “

Their is a difference between AlGore fighting every decision and stating hey I want you to see how the deck is stacked against conservatives, no?

The Republicans in power don’t stand up and speak out.
That’s why we conservatives are fighting on our own.

Lol, time for me to sign off!

Republicans need to stand up to the media and limit their 99.99% leftie Beltway biased coverage

With FNC and the internet and Sarah Palin at Facebook they can call their own shots

I have never seen that video before, and didn’t know that Steven Burns(who is not notable for anything besides Blue’s Clues, I guess that his few times on Homicide: Life on the Street and Law and Order “count”) had anything to say notable. I’ve never watched Blue’s Clues(aside from YTP’s), nor have I even participated in much knowledge of the show. I used to watch other stuff on Nickelodeon.

That video is typical of the Liberal mentality at that time, and is the only video on that account because Steve’s master is in office right now. But my question to Steve is this: If you liked Obama so much to make a video incorporating his corporate logo at the end, why can’t Obama find you a job? If he did, I am sure that I would hear about it. In fact, why not work for ACORN, Steve? Why not showcase a video of those “mean ole” Republicans blocking everybody’s right to abuse the healthcare system?

Yeah, I wrote that they don’t don’t stand up and speak out.
They are on talk shows all the time and have the opportunities to argue against the media.

Valid arguements would get across to the viewers even if the media didn’t agree.

They should tell CBS, NBC, and ANC that if they edit out the raw meat of talk shows Republican politicians appear on that they will all boycott any of their TV appearances

Let CBS, NBC, and ABC then attempt to put on democrat only talk show guests -

Funny, I never thought about it but do you think the Sunday morning talk shows are live or pre-recorded? I don’t think they would edit out on those, do you?
