Free Republic

The last several days have been instructive of how the media provides us with one bogus candidate for office after another, thereby effectively disallowing the potential influence the citizens might have on the process.

During the so-called debate, Chris Matthews kept the discussion channeled back to “abortion” so well that the next morning radio news said the debate had been concentrated on the main Republican issues, the war in Iraq and abortion.

During the ABC This Week program that hairball George Stuffapoodleus had a wonderful opportunity to educate the People on the vital issue of immigration/borders, so he chose instead to discuss Tom Tancredo’s ideas about...abortion.

Can’t you see that you are being whipped with the abortion issue? Every time one of the “journalists” asks about abortion, the guest should explain that is not what they have taken time to discuss. If the “journalist” gets snippy, the guest should stand up and walk off, in a big huff. (Principles are refreshing.) When that happens a couple of times, the “journalist’s” producer will see the jig is up and THAT ploy will be dead. It’s just a suggestion.

Isn’t it the issues that matter?

After recent experience, I won’t be automatically voting Republican in national elections anymore, but Im still concerned that the country not revert to media-choice, by default. It appears the media will manipulate and obscure the Republican candidates by rolling out their favorite topic, abortion.

Sunday morning on ABC This Week w/George Snuffalopalus, Rep. Tom Tancredo, a man who has something to say on the immigration/borders issue, was barely allowed to speak on that important issue so that George could breathlessly inquire about...abortion, and not even some relevant aspect of the abortion issue. The ponderous arcane esoteric dimension. Something to keep his mouth moving. So, even while failing to shed any light on the abortion issue which you just know George is so interested in, he passed up on his opportunity to ask some really important questions of Tom Tancredo, which the audience would have enjoyed and been enlightened to hear.

Who hires these clowns like Chris Matthews and George Stuffalotafluf? The media is our biggest problem. You can turn off that TV and get a much better bang for your buck on the internet. These guys are no longer remotely credible. I much prefer listening to Alex Jones on his daily broadcast than the tired and predictable Limbaugh, too.
