Republicans have TWO enemies to combat: The Democrats and the media
Just like so many reports before it, a joint survey by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and Harvard’s Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy – hardly a bastion of conservative orthodoxy – found that in covering the current presidential race, the media are sympathetic to Democrats and hostile to Republicans. Democrats are not only favored in the tone of the coverage. They get more coverage period. This is particularly evident on morning news shows, which “produced almost twice as many stories (51% to 27%) focused on Democratic candidates than on Republicans.”
The most flagrant bias, however, was found in newspapers. In reviewing front-page coverage in 11 newspapers, the study found the tone positive in nearly six times as many stories about Democrats as it was negative. Breaking it down by candidates, the survey found that Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were the favorites. “Obama’s front page coverage was 70% positive and 9% negative, and Clinton’s was similarly 61% positive and 13% negative.” In stories about Republicans, on the other hand, the tone was positive in only a quarter of the stories; in four in 10 it was negative.

With no more fight than the rattail Republicans have, they can’t fight a war on one front. They sit on their hands while the Sorosites spew one lie after another that they have sucked up from George Soros’ cesspool. I know they can’t jump up and say, “that’s a lie.” They could say, “what you said is so far from fact that it is not even science fiction” or “I would have to suspend my powers of disbelief to accept what you just said.” There are Repubs. of all kinds: the really rancid turn coats Lugar, Hagel, and others. the rattails who forgot why they were elected except to bring home the pork like Stevens and others, last there are those who stand up for the truth and what’ right like Demitt, Sessions and Vitter. There are just not enough good ones.
If you ask me, it is high time that honest, Christian Americans consider taking up arms and making this a physical battle for our country. Can you monitor everything your children are fed by the Leftist media? They are led by humanists who want to reward gays instead of punish them; who tell your daughters to be promiscuous and then just have an abortion to make everything OK again. They want to dramatically increase your taxes and spend that money on extravagent lifestyles for illegal immigrants who won’t have to work. They celebrate every time a Muslim kills an American or a Jew! What more motivation do we need before we say enough is enough and use the weapons we have a God-given right to, to defend God himself in the country He gave us?
