Tanks a lot. Now you fucked up our country.

[DonDahab]

as soon as obama a.k.a. stinky is mentioned she lights up like a valley girl...

[bobbygnosis]

I hope this poor person realizes she's been had. It'll be a lot easier on her if she catches on sooner rather than later. Then again, who knows. Maybe she, like so many others, will never think long enough to understand what's really going on.

She seems quite pretentious and irritated by the interviewer in the beginning, as though she can't be bothered to speak to anyone. Someone's giving you a free platform for your message, and you can't be a little bit appreciative of it? I agree with her statements thereafter, but her demeanor is really tactless

Rholander accepted an angle, took position, they rolled out a few droll expressions but tarted up frenzied delivery: Oh my God here we are, but will we find the dream? The light from the neon encased skin. They collared an Asian student, she talked of multiculturalism; used social networking software; disclosed this on the street. Gareth held the camera steady. The girl glared into the lens. Her personality was coming out so wonderfully, her transparency, history, she relinquished.

The mainstream (TV and internet) news media is no place to

be informed on politics because, it's corporate controlled.

That's why the RepubliCrat$ duopoly gets in office every time not to mention they refused to debate Nader who is on 45 state ballots... Pick one of the two and they'll be thankful that they can practice politic$ a$ u$ual--Profit$ for the corporate elite$ Over People!
