8. Well, maybe not tomorrow, literally
But the ship is really taking on water, and we're all distracted by nonsense.

All of this "he said/she said" stuff is nonsense.

There are major issues in the country that need to be addressed and we're all watching a sideshow.

21. Kerry always fought back. The DU research forum proves it - the corpmedia chose to downplay
and mute those counters. You can easily view that thread in the Research Forum.

Dan Rather has recently admitted the corporate media NEEDED to protect Bush in 2004 because of favorable rulings they expected in his second term.

23. yes.
And when it comes to countering any lie, it is also up to the rest of the party, its lawmakers, and its activists to FURTHER those counters for the nominee, the same way Bushboy never had to lift a finger to have the GOP machine protecting him from every attack. Other Dem lawmakers, the party powerstructure and the left media didn't do so hot following up when Kerry countered, especially after the Aug 19 speech, did they?

10. I Hate It When They Do That Shit
Not cool at all. It makes me feel like it pushes voters out of the process. That is one (of many) things that pisses me off about this primary election season, How many of you out there feel like this is a process by, of, and for the people, or by, of, and for the corporate media?

16. It's the GOP Corporate Media.
They are picking Hillary because the GOP believes McCain can win against her.

18. They're Not Picking Hillary Or Obama
They switch they're "loyalties" to divide US, and hurt us. It's like a game to them.

25. Bull Crap
The republicans in Texas crossed over to vote for Obama because they know HIllary can beat McCain. They crossed over by 27% as oppose to the cross over votes for Hillary in Ohio that were 7%.

34. all the more reason that it's surprising
that Hillary is playing into it so much. Maybe we should re-roll the clips of her husband talking about cumstains on a dress on national tv to remind her?

20. They are picking a McCain v. Hillary race and betting on
McCain to win. The neocons are circling the wagons. Either of those two would be fine with them, but with McCain they are 100% certain that they stand a good chance of more war. You Hillary people are fools.

29. Of course the Tab rags are attacking
The Globe and The Inquirer were recently bought by a Clinton appointee before the primaries. Haven't you noticed they don't do any negative stories on the Clinton's anymore.

28. Why are the Repugs doing Hillary's dirty work for her?
I spent most of yesterday driving and listening to the radio. It's plain to me that the entire right-wing noise machine is focused on Obama.

32. Because Obama is a real Democrat who threatens the hateful neo-con agenda. Whereas ..
Hillary is the enabler of that agenda.
