"...And most importantly, she said that "Accuracy must come first. Fair and objective will flow outward from that."

That was the message of AIM founder Reed Irvine. It's too bad that Dan Rather didn't take it to heart. Reed finished his time on earth with his head held high, a man of principle who told the truth. Rather is slinking away in disgrace."

So will they now be part of the blogger community that fights the McCain-Feingold restrictions on political bloggers? This news bit has only been a blip because there are more exciting things going on, but as someone who has a blog herself and likes to talk politics on it (and has no affiliations other than the fact that I am a concerned voter and constituent of Tom DeLay) I could easily come under as much scrutiny as the Big Boys. I personally am offended that a Little Person like me can have no more freedom to speak my political mind and advocate the candidates I choose on the cyberspace that *I* pay for than a Big Blogger will have when he gets 4000+ hits and access to the on-the-minute news coming online.

Fighting against the McCain-Feingold bill needs to start now. I consider it a GRIEVIOUS assault on the First Amendment, and I will NEVER FORGIVE McCain and Feingold and President Bush for getting it on the books. I especially hold McCain accountable because by putting his name to it, he NULLIFIED his service in Vietnam. I dare him to say I owe him gratitude for his service there, because he went and p*ss*d on the very Constitution he swore to uphold. President Bush proved himself a Domestic Policy Coward by letting it pass under his pen, instead of vetoing it. McCain's veteran status means NOTHING to me...and I was born in 1967 and am old enough to remember show AWFUL the Vietnam vets were treated...I have since wanted to be the one to THANK THEM for what they did. But not McCain. He is a TRAITOR in my eyes.

Sorry for the rant, but I now expect the Blogger community, especially the conservatives to be LOUD and DEFIANT of this bill that just got knocked down. I hope they pay attention now, because by this time next year, it will be too late.

Adding my congratulations to these two fine gentlemen.
Also my thanks to Jim Robinson for creating a place for sharing our conservative beliefs. Thanks also to all the Freepers who have built up my confidence over the years.
Sure is good to have this great group that is willing to contest the lies and fraud of the liberals and the media.

Congratulations to each of you! Truth won out over Dan's and Mary's forgeries.

Thanks for the ping, Jim. It was very nice freeping with you at Walter Reed. Take care.
