OK, so I turned on MSNBC (a mistake) WAY too much coverage of McGrumpy
and this bobble head on now keeps regurgitating all of the talking points.

1. I have the scars to prove it.

I just want to throw up when he keeps saying the same old things.

The new wrinkle: joe the fake plumber.

2. He is talking to children, CHILDREN, repetition works
but listening to their cheers, I can hear the DESPERATION in them, they KNOW they are going down in flames, just like Gramps planes.

3. Yep....and praise the lord for the MUTE button on the remote control.
In the kitchen ~~ next to my service porch ~~ and doing Saturday morning laundry when I heard, "My friends..." coming from the kitchen TV. :puke:

Mute the sound, distort the color and pour myself a fresh cup of coffee and head for the service porch. Flip McAsshole the finger on the way and then sort the laundry and fold what is dry.

Just a typical Saturday AM for a librul senior citizen in SoCal!

:hi:

4. I'm with you...
I was watching as well, turned it off and came up to the puter to vent.
I can not believe the spin McGrup is putting on this Joe the plumber crap. He will have people voting against their best interest.

Uggghhhhhhh.....!

6. MsNBC is a cable news channel.......Not the Obama 100% of the time channel
That being said, Msnbc is "more" then fair to our side. They are my news channel of choice.

7. no, they cover more of the McCain/Palin rallies than Obama/Biden
No one is expecting it to be "100%"....

8. BS. I have seen them cover Obama rallies from start to finish
That's why I turn to them to hear/see a Obama/Biden speech.

1)Foxnews never does this

2) CNN is hit and miss

9. Just because you "see them cover Obama rallies start to finish"
Edited on Sat Oct-18-08 10:36 AM by ErinBerin84
at times ,doesn't mean it's "equal". And they always show Palin's rallies and cut away from Biden's within a minute, and say "we're keeping our eye on Biden!" as an excuse, so you just can't argue that one. I've had Republicans tell me that they notice the disparity too. My workplace has MSNBC on all day, and it's very noticeable.

Edited on Sat Oct-18-08 10:36 AM by BrentTaylor
They completely ignore Biden. And play every single Palin event. Every one of them.
