Exactly!
I already replaced yours. Pedro has it covered.
And at least four extended family members too.
Not a problem.
Still, the media do sway public opinion and many a president has been elected with heavy media support. However, America is still a democracy and the presidency is still in the hands of the people. If they choose to remain uninformed and effectively mesmerized by some unprepared, undistinguished, achievement-free socialist phony like Senator Barack Hussein Obama, it is ultimately their own fault. Unfortunately, if Obama is elected president, we'll all have to live with the sad results of their egregious error.
Too bad John McCain is only a bit less unacceptable to most conservatives. Thanks, GOP. I'm voting for an Independent for president because my state always goes Democrat in the Electoral. My vote won't change that, so why vote for a candidate (McCain) that I don't really like or want and have to wearr an industrial-size clothespin on my nose in order to vote for him? Makes no sense. Cassells' disgust with and animus toward the media is both palpable and justified but we have only ourselves to blame if we allow them to manipulate us. Today, Americans do have alternative media, including this website, and there is simply no reason the 'mainstream' media should wield so much persuasive power in an election.
Frankly, Obama's barely-even poll numbers (with the lackluster McCain) are encouraging as they demonstrate that many would-be voters are unsure and hesitant about Obama, as they certainly should be. That's encouraging. The dinosaur media is steadily losing it's grip on popular opinion and while it hasn't completely dissipated yet, it is weakening. Let's hope that continues...right up to election day and that the endless Obama hype from the media backfires because Americans don't much like being told who to vote for. If they did, we would have never had Presidents Nixon, Reagan, G.H.W. Bush or the current Commander-in-Chief, George W. Bush. Think about it.
The problem is that we have a populace steadily de-evolving into an idiocracy. They cannot recognize anything short of the previous 24 hours info cycle.
I KNOW THE ANSWER!!
Never.
We demand Juan name conservatives with proven credentials to top positions in his campaign, who are privy to all his campaign strategies.
Juan must lose Hernandez, the Azatlan sucker attached to his campaign.
Juan MUST denounce Reconquista in all print and brodcast media venues NOW.
McCain must denounce La Raza and announce he will STOP all tax-funding of this demented organization.
Even more criical is losing his handlers---the pukeneos who are the cheerleaders for amnesty.
Juan must denounce Mexican demands that the US Attorney suspend deportations of marauding Mexican criminals on US soil.
Juan MUST repudiate foreign governments interferring in American justice that presages the Third World they are building on US soil.
Then we'll talk.
The majority of people that I talk to, regardless of Party, don’t like either of the candidates. Tragically, America and our future will be the losers.
Great comment Jim...I especially concur with your last paragraph. thanks for taking the time. JWC
The only people we have to blame are ourselves for this mess.
WE turned up our noses and pulled the levers for these people, instead of rejecting them from the beginning.
Now, we all will suffer with the lessor of two evils.
I am sick and tired of reading posts to this board blaming everyone else for our party's condition, corruption, etc. I am angered by the ones who have squawked all along to vote for the republican, even if he is a weak candidate.
Now we complain because there are a bunch of RINO’s in the party...WHO ELECTED THEM!
WELL we have gotten what WE elected to receive.
I am tired of people telling me to swallow my pride and my principals for the good of the party! There is no “good of the party” comrades.
It is the Right of the People to form or dissolve this government of the United States. But before we can do anything we must learn WE are the ones who created its’ present form. WE are responsible for the results.
McCain had won before many states even voted, including my own. Go research, McCain came nowhere near getting a majority of GOP votes. He won’t get a majority in November, either.
GWB benefitted from 4 million+ GOP votes delivered by the Religious Right. McCain will not receive that benefit.
So is that what they’re whining about.
“Racial hatred sells. You sell racial hatred you get lots of air exposure.”
Indeed.

Be sure to ping me when hell freezes over, M’kay?
You best get crackin’. You can also replace my vote, my husbands, and the votes of my parents...along with many of their church friends.
fetch one for me too.
Gotcha covered. Should have next week free if that’s all of you.
He will. McCain / Clinton 08
Wait and see.
