The media bias is worse than it has ever been because it has to be for Obama to have any chance of winning. It is a close election now (the media will not tell you) but in 3 weeks is will be a McCain landslide. Mark my words.

You’re right. We’ve all already been called racists. What do any of us have to lose at this point.

It does sound blasphemous, but I understand what she means. The MSM is burying McCain’s message, they consider it newsworthy if Sarah paints her nails a different color but refuse to report on Obama’s very controversial past, etc. Heck, if it weren’t for Fox news and websites like this, not a soul would know that Obama spouted pure socialism to that plumber in Ohio.

The MSM isn’t God(and one day they are going to find that out), but they do have the power to indoctrinate people and shape current events in a way that is frightening.

You are not in command of the issues enough to be making “all is lost” posts.

So shut it and get some stones.

[EXPLETIVE DELETED]. It’s becoming clear that the [EXPLETIVE DELETED] candidate has decided to “lose with honor” and now his [EXPLETIVE DELETED] staff has all but checked out in this thing.

It's not the French, damnit! It's the clueless, stupid McCAin campaign freaks who are the surrender monkeys!

Where in the hell did he get these clowns? Oh. Don't answer. I know. From the DNC.

This is garbage. This was another one of the Bush press people he sent to McCain. They are no longer in the inner circle with McCain but they sure have big mouths. She was in the Bush press office in 2005 with the twerp McClellan.

McCain should have turned away Bush people that came on board fairly late in the campaign. Wonder if these are the slackers he fired over the weekend?

So, why does the McCain wait until the last week to break their October surprises?

McCain's strategy is "Don't fire until you see the rods and cones of their eyes."

I think the McCain campaign will be pulling out the full arsenal these next few week and the Obama campaign knows it.

I hope so but they've been saying the same thing for months now. My fear is that Obomba has built up too much momentum to stop. In politics, you don't win by letting your opponent seize the initiative and then playing defense.

That and McCain and the 'Pubs have to somehow sever this apparent connection between them and how the DJIA is doing. McCain and the 'Pubs are going to take another serious poll hit today otherwise.

No, no, no. You can't have “Prime Time Palin” on national TV.

That would not be “proper”. Patton must be rolling in his grave.

Disagree, I will say that Bill Krystol’s “fire the campaign” makes more sense now, this is just bad bad Campaign Work right here.

She SHOULD have been pointing out the awful stuff that is being said about Gov Palin, and that if McCain did go truthful, it would be justified as the media is not doing it’s job, so the Campaign will.

This drag the lower lip stuff is fro Class President election losers...”*sniff* the school paper just liked him better”

This may be a set up. They are conceding that they have been branded dirty by the press so what the hell, we might as well go for broke with the dirt on bambi. At least, that is what I am hoping for......

Either way, even if Mac pooches the debate he is still not lost, there are over two weeks and 160 million dollars and several more million dollars from 527’s to hammer bambi until the election.

I’m even shocked by how bad it has been this year. Truly horrible job by our media.

Actually, from their vantage point, the media had an excellent year.

First, they raised Obama from near-nothing experience and allowed him to take down Hillary Clinton, who was just 20 days in her second Senate term. That was after 3 years of Clinton being annointed Ms Inevitable -- by the media.

Then, they resurrected McCain's dead campaign and got him nominated to the top of the GOP ticket.

All in all, they've had a pretty good year. And they are about to make (to make) Obama the next president.

Expecting “friends in the media” is the number one mistake. Bush made it and look where he got. Future candidates need to know that the media are not your friends; they’re not even impartial observers. THEY ART YOUR ENEMY — TREAT THEM ACCORDINGLY!

I agree with you this is rope a dope and Obama is about to get clobbered.

That is what Team McCain tried to say prior to the last debate, too. But McMarshmallow showed up as the one to debate Obama.

That’s exactly right, Padre. I’m not saying McCain’s going to lose in posting this thread. I’m citing to the fact that, if this is an example of what the Republican insiders are inveighing againt, (and McCain’s brother) than they’re right!

AND, get rid of these incompetents while we still have time.
I’m not bashing the Senator, I’m trying to help!
