Sure they talk and talk but when we have poff of the democrats saying no the Frannie mae and Freddiue max is sound each and every years as the republicans teling them this would happen-no no we are fine said the democrats caught on the senate floor and Obama-Michelle caugt on video with the ceo getting the loans that caused this mess.

It is just astonishing to me that the news media claims to be unbiased. This is like watching a sporting event where the commentators are die hard fans of one of the teams.

it's just ridiculous.

Let me see here. Hard hitting, unbiased commentary from the the Trotskyites at Slate, the Bolsheviks at Time, the Maoists at ABC news and the constantly discredited New York Times. No media bias here. One question I wish they would ask; should taxpayer money be spent on a Public Television system that is so consistantly leftists?

Is this for real? How is it that they keep saying the campaign is close? Right now the democrats have a sizable lead simply because everyone is so sick and tired of Bush. Considering McCain is trying to do things exactly like Bush he doesn't have a strong following.

I wouldn't consider either candidate however. It's about time the two major parties are brought down and some third party candidates are brought up.
