McCain is not the problem. The problem is that he has to sail into the face of a steady and fierce headwind created by the bias of the media.

George Will, in reality, is an Obama supporter.

His association with ABC News has thoroughly distorted his former conservative views. He uses his “conservative credentials” as a bludgeon against anything that isn’t “pure” conservatism, and in that way he surreptitiously advances a socialist agenda.

This is the George Will of the last decade, and anyone who hasn’t noticed it is not paying attention.

I think Krauthammer is an Obama supporter also. What do both of these writers have in common....ELITISM and HUMORLESS.

“...headwind created by the bias of the media...”

Any legal eagles out there? Answer me this: In the absence of a ‘fairness doctrine’ for broadcast TV, is there any basis for an FCC license challenge?

The ‘Big 3’ have become nothing but a propaganda arm of the democrat party.

The public are not being served!


Yeah it is off topic, but a valid question

Spot on. He’s just a quasi conservative elitist that uses big words.

You can add David Brooks to that list too.

Personally, I don’t give a rat’s rear about McCain’s economic policies (and personally, government should deregulate as much as possible and let markets work) and this whole mess we’re undergoing was brought on by mainly Democratic efforts to put unqualified buyers into homes of their own. However anyone who thinks B Hussein Obama would be better for the economy is insane. Further, the choice is clearly between someone who actually loves and has served his country, and a cipher who, judging by his associations, hates it (and his BU wife too!).

“McCain is not the problem. The problem is that he has to sail into the face of a steady and fierce headwind created by the bias of the media.”

And the refusal of President Bush to ever explain or defend himself, and the Republican Congress—to this day—refusing to take credit for its achievements.

Why won’t the House Republicans publicize their stunning victory on drilling?

Wouldn’t it be great if all Repubs were like Palin and McCotter?

My dream ticket for 2012 or 2016.

Krauthammer

Krauthammer was spot on in this election until Palin was selcted, and that somehow has totally changed his views. I am not sure if he is for Obama or not, because he is on record saying some pretty bad things about an Obama presidency. There is a video out there where he makes a strong case why Obama cannot be CIC. That said, he doesn't sound like that recently. It is bothersome because he is usually so spot on. I think the Palin nomination has really gotten under the skin of a lot of longstanding 'conservative' inside the beltway people that did not get one of their own on the ticket.

With friends like George Will..........

I just wish these effete elites would just STFU. I am so sick and tired of their pontificating.

I am not a McCain supporter, however ...

"McCain and his female Sancho Panza ..."

proves your point. The beltway mentality is certainly full of humorless elitists.

Boy the east coast pseudo intellectuals are all jumping ship. Let's pray the real ‘Joe Six-pack” people show them to be wrong.

George Will should have retired in 1999.

What pompous elite a$$hole he has become.

Like George Will is the only one to have read Don Quixote?

Will with his comparison of Gov. Palin to Sancho Panza is as bad as the rest of the elitists in the Beltway when it comes to "witty" tasteless jabs at Mrs. Palin.

So, just because he criticizes the sorriest Republican nomination in history, George Will is an Obama supporter?

It’s really a sad day for the Republicans when you’re defending McCain against George Will.

It is not possible to be pro-abortion and be a conservative. Krauthammer is pro-abortion.
