I've had it with the media.
Listening to the media during the 2000 election debacle was bad enough but what is occurring during this primary process is more than an individual can take.

Calling someone that does not have a shred of journalistic integrity ( or just plain integrity) - a journalist, columnist, nightly news anchor, or anything similar belittles fine journalists such as Walter Conkrite. Therefore, I will only refer to such individuals as "used car salesmen." It's probably unfair to used car salesmen but I really can't think of a better word.

I've been doing it over the past couple of days and the response has been very receptive. These people should be subject to public ridicule and scorn for what they are doing to this country.

2. So much for the fourth branch of government.
It's voice has dimmed to barely a whisper.

4. If you haven't read it, check out the DailyHowler series,
WHY GOOD GUYS SLEPT (PART 4)! Why did “good guy” pundits sleep? Citizens should demand explanations:

This part also contains the link to the study about the number of negative vs positive stories that Gore and * received.

5. Bush gave them the permission.....
He and his thugs also are feeding the dirt and our candidates are gobbling it up like Wonka Bars.
