Decision 2012
Nah, no media bias whatsoever.*
_________________________________________
*Just "ethical dissimilarity"...as one here would say. LOL
Can you imagine if George W. Bush or Sarah Palin had made this mistake????? (Yet the libs continue to say there's no media bias...)
As you can see, it's sooooooo easy to get the two confused:
(And no, Bingo, there's no ethical dissimilarity here)
"President Barack HUSSEIN Obama forgot the first name of the Chancellor of the Exchequer!!", not catchy.
"President George W. Bush flips the bird to the press!!", better.
"Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin reads all newspapers!!", hilarious!

President Obama said he visited almost all 57 states.
President Obama said how important his muslim faith was to him.
President Obama made fun of Special Olympics on national TV.
Id' say Barack Hussein Obama is the one as dumb as a box of rocks, but that isn't fair to the rocks.

Bitter?
What amazes me is the repubs could have easily taken the senate last election if they put up some decent candidates. Christine Odonnell, Sharon Angle, Todd Aiken. Talk about dumb.
Quote: terapinedBitter?
Only about how the media makes out any conservative to be a moron while a liberal can say or do anything and be considered smart.
Sarah Palin: Became mayor and governor on her own
Hillary Clinton: Got everywhere by being Mrs Bill Clinton (and put up with him cheating on her the whole way)
Who does the media make out to be smarter?
Dan Quayle: GOP Senator picked to be VP, called "dumb" because of a lack of accomplishment
Barrack Obama: Unaccomplished Democrat Senator treated as most qualified and intelligent candidate ever
Seriously, what did Obama say or do to get all the push he was given by the media in 2008?

Ok, I get it you are bitter about the media. It is what it is. Its run by humans, what do you expect. But anyway who cares, It doesn't influence me and it doesn't influence you. Despite the media, many on the right still get elected.
Just curious because there is a huge divide among conservatives, what side are the conservatives on this board on?
You got Marco Rubio, Hannity and Bill O supporting immigration reform, you got Coulter, Bachman and Beck against.
Where do the conservatives stand on this board on this issue?

First, Bill O is centrist, not conservative. If he were conservative, Obama would never have sat for an interview with him. But back to point.
I am against the current bill. If you want to turn the current illegals to green-card holders that is one thing. They would still be paying taxes and get "out of the shadows." I see no good reason to grant citizenship. And I think nothing should be done without better border security.
This being said, some of it will be a moot point. After about 2020, Mexico will be near-zero population growth. At the same time, its local per-capita will keep increasing. Combined the flow of Mexicans will ease.
How the USA handles the racial shift remains to be seen. I do not know of a country where the racial make-up changed so much and thrived or even survived. We can see some of what is to come in the "demonstrations" Mexicans have had here in the USA a few years back to protest the then lack-of reform. Such big demonstrations are not an American way of doing things. Not that we have not had any, but what we have had tended to be more located in DC and organized. That is one thing. Will we see higher corruption levels? A return to a more male-dominated society? How will the Mexican-Black relationship end up--Mexicans are already causing "Black Flight" in parts of LA much as Blacks caused "White Flight" in the 1970s.
One thing is for sure, nobody is preparing for what may happen as they are all too busy counting potential voters.
Quote: terapinedOk, I get it you are bitter about the media. It is what it is. Its run by humans, what do you expect. But anyway who cares, It doesn't influence me and it doesn't influence you.
It does influence the uninformed voters on either side. If you and I read and listen and make different choices based on who we feel is best, we can at least discuss our views. Those who let the media call the signals for them really have no real idea why they vote for one person or the other. Scary...
Quote: terapinedDespite the media, many on the right still get elected.
Yes, but I think more (not a lot, just a few) would be elected if the press balanced their stories. Maybe less would...who knows...it is not a condition that exists currently!!

Immigration reform? It has to be done. There is no way to deport 30 million people...we'd go broke trying. It is better to figure out a way to "fix" the border, tighten employment laws and enforcement to discourage illegals, and move forward. I don't think immigration reform will lead to 30 million "new" Democrats; they'll settle in and pick their politics based on where they live and their experiences much like everyone else does.

Rick Santorum actually admitted that the substance of what conservatives believe to be "the media narrative" is true.

+1
More examples of how the "objective" mainstream media works. I mean, can you imagine their reaction had Bush, Palin, or Quayle had said any of these boneheaded things?!?!
Quote: s2dbakerRick Santorum actually admitted that the substance of what conservatives believe to be "the media narrative" is true.
You say "admitted," I say "insisted." If you know anything about the history of Rick Santorum, this statement is a key part of his own twisted narrative.
Hannity has never supported immigration reform as you construe it: "Hannity agreed with Coulter’s assessment, asking, “Doesn’t America have the right to be a sovereign country and secure its borders? Why is that controversial and why don’t you do that first?” Later in the interview, he also said that “Republicans are suckers,” because, when they collaborate with Democrats, the end result is a bill with few conservative-friendly ideals." theblazeQuote: terapinedYou got Marco Rubio, Hannity and Bill O supporting immigration reform.
I wanted to find out a little more about Santorum, so I Googled his name.Quote: 24BingoYou say "admitted," I say "insisted." If you know anything about the history of Rick Santorum, this statement is a key part of his own twisted narrative.
Moral of the story: Don't believe the hype. Switching positions isn't the way to the promised land because liberals will never vote Republican anyway.
On one hand, I realize that guys like Bingo will defend Baldwin's gay slurs by saying they're 'ethically dissimilar' to a conservative's gay slurs, but I don't buy that crap for a second.
My explanation: It's pure, unadulterated liberal media bias, plain and simple.
Quote: Beethoven9thThis is to all of the people out there (most of whom, ironically, aren't even Republican) who keep saying that the GOP needs to change its position on gay marriage. Just take a look at what happened this week in Massachusetts. Republican candidate Gabriel Gomez, who kept yapping about how he's pro-gay marriage, thought that being a "new" kind of Republican would help him win. But guess what actually happened?? He got his a** kicked by double digits and lost to Democrat Ed Markey.
Moral of the story: Don't believe the hype. Switching positions isn't the way to the promised land because liberals will never vote Republican anyway.
I'm getting such a chuckle due to your convoluted logic. Its Massachusetts, Gomez never had a chance no matter what position he takes.
What's really sad is the Republicans have gotten my vote in the past but have totally turned me off.
I believe in small govt, low taxes, govt staying out of our lives, businesses having the freedom to succeed or fail. I get all that and supported all that in the past and have voted republican. I'm in reality an independent but have gone both ways in the past. I live in a battleground state, FL, and I live in the key I4 corridor that determines which way the electoral votes go. What turns me off is I am for freedom and the Repubs are against certain freedoms, particularly freedom of choice, freedom to marry and freedom to become a citizen. Due to those reasons, they lose my key vote. (Used to live in MD, my vote meant nothing there, solid demo state) in a battleground state in the key demographic area. If they simply concentrated on taxes and jobs, might get my vote but noooo, they have to offend me with the anti gay rhetoric, and I'm not gay. Whew, off to Heritage harbor for 18 holes, hopefully can shoot under 100, LOL I wish.
Quote: terapinedI'm getting such a chuckle due to your convoluted logic. Its Massachusetts, Gomez never had a chance no matter what position he takes.
Duh! That's my entire point...they won't win (or lose) based on their gay marriage position.
Quote: Beethoven9thDuh! That's my entire point...they won't win (or lose) based on their gay marriage position.
Last Senate election, Delaware, Missouri and Nevada, All winnable for the republican side except for the poor quality of candidate the repubs ran. Any smart moderate republican could have won any of those senate seats easily. That's why Rove is furious. Repubs lost winnable states due to extreme right candidates winning the primary to run for senator.

Brown won, and prior to the election he'd pretty much been the face of putting gay marriage up to a vote. Granted, that was mostly because of whom he was running against, but still.
Also, Beethoven9th, don't you think this is getting a bit much? I'm sorry I made you read a dictionary.
Quote: Beethoven9thDuh! That's my entire point...they won't win (or lose) based on their gay marriage position.
I imagine it's more complicated than that. I wouldn't vote for someone like Santorium running on pro-gay marriage (hah ha, so unlikely) , because I wouldn't believe him. But others might be passable. So, it's worth a shot, especially if it's going to be a close call with an opponent.

What the hell does that have to do with the post you responded to? My point still stands.
Quote: 24BingoAlso, Beethoven9th, don't you think this is getting a bit much?
Nope.
That was my entire point from the start.

Funny, that's a concept you generally seem dead-set on dismissing.

Quote: thecesspitDoes that make Fox now part of the lamestream media? :D
Not until they start making up stories like CBS or blatantly editing 911 tapes like NBC, then maybe.
Quote: thecesspitDoes that make Fox now part of the lamestream media? :D
Foxnews has allways been a part of the lamestream media. Foxnews has absolutely no balls. A bunch of reporter wimps.
You will never ever see foxnews report honestly on the criminal organization known as scientology because Greta wont let them.
There are a lot on news companies that have balls, New Yorker, Rolling Stone, St Pete Times, BBC, CNN, ABC, LA TIMES ect. These news organizations will report a story honestly on scientology and take the heat. No way foxnews will do an honest report on scientology, its more important to keep Greta happy.
on a knats ass.
Quote: EvenBobNobody cares about Scientology, its a blip
on a knats ass.
That's because you don't live in Clearwater. You don't care because Foxnews does not care. If you get your news from fox, consider yourself ignorant on the subject of scientology. Even Rolling Stone has more balls then fox, that's saying something.
Greta Fan? Now is all makes sense.
Quote: terapinedThat's because you don't live in Clearwater..
Here's a shocker: Most people don't live in Clearwater.
I know I know, its rough to hear the truth. But somebody
had to tell you, better you heard it here than on the street.
Quote: Beethoven9thIf you whine about fair reporting on Scientology but ignore fabricated stories about conservatives, then you just might be a liberal.
Of course I ignore fabricated stories about conservatives. When you have a major criminal organization in your back yard calling itself a religion and trying to pry their way into our public schools, some things are more important then others.
Quote: EvenBobHere's a shocker: Most people don't live in Clearwater.

They are everywhere, they simply own the city of Clearwater. A criminal organization owning an American city, story to small for FAUX.
You watch Greta every nite? thought so.

I watch O'Reilly maybe 3 times a week, thats
it. I don't watch a lot of TV, I have a life.

OK, then I'll rephrase that. :)
If you're more worried about the teaching of Scientology in our public schools than the teaching of LGBT history, then you just might be a liberal.

So are you saying ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, BSNBC, and others have reported this yet FNC ignores it?
Do you have a thing for Greta? Do you think she is a hottie or something?
Quote: AZDuffmanSo are you saying ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, BSNBC, and others have reported this yet FNC ignores it?
NBC, BSNBC, CBS???? All wimps just like Fox. ABC, that's another story, unlike Fox, they have balls.
Fox ignores tons of stories. Take the phone hacking scandal in the UK. Fox was ordered by their owners not to report that story. Just like Greta wont allow fox to report on scientology.
Quote: Beethoven9thOK, then I'll rephrase that. :)

LGBT history??????? You cant be brainwashed to be gay, you either are gay or not. Scientology brainwashes.
Never heard of LGBT history, please educate me :-)
