Not really.

But if they are in apologizing mode, they owe a big one to a lot of campaigns this year.

6. No. The media is supposed to be the 4th branch...designed to give
the TRUTH. Designed to protect us from lies and distortions. Instead they fed us Bush while vilifying Gore and Kerry. And we bought the media lies without question.

I learned the lesson. YOu and others on this board did not. The media is propaganda. They are not supposed to be lying to us. They are supposed to be reporting the news. Instead they crown Bush/Obama and the masses nod in agreement mesmerized and non-thinking.

I can see by your sig-line that you are intellectually lazy. Rather than really look at Clinton and her positions, you spew the talking points.

13. oh great....you are a wannabe psychologist on top of self-important pundit...
i would think that the use of the phrase 'talking points' would be something you would not mention in any of your posts...seems you have the list in front of you. I could care more exactly what you think of me...you and i are not on the ballot.

15. No. I am an observer.
Your "stance" on Clinton's IWR is nothing more than talking points. Read her speech, listen to what she has said about her reasons.

I know you won't. You have already dehumanized her. Go ahead drink your Koolaid-laced-beer and keep your head in the sand.

8. Candidates other than Hillary and Obama were shut out from the start
Two Senators with decades of experience between them were treated as little vanity campaigns. Anotehr former Senator was basically ignored, even after finishing second in Iowa. A Congressman who actually offered a voice for a significant segment of the population was either ignored or ridiculed. A sitting governor who worked in high administrative posts was likewise ignored.

Most voters were almost not even told there were otehr candidates, and the idea that it was a two-person race was crammed down their throats from the start.
