    yeah, he was in a limo for half hour, driving to the event, then he was in the silent room. that's it. i just don't get how that infuriates people UNLESS, they were fishing for something to get infuriated with.

    So, are you calling the nurse who testified in front of congress a liar.
    That is in fact what that article in worldnet was about.

    You see,
    You say worldnet is discredited but you ignore the facts in ths article.
    Keep in mind that maybe cbs should be discredited also on their inaccuracies about Bush's service in the miltary, the story in which Dan Rather lost his job.
    So something tells me if I posted an article by cbs you would be ok with that.

    I think your just scared because Obama has already peaked and you know he's gonna lose.

    One more thing Rex,
    You keep talking about corporate media?
    What is the alternative you prefer if you don't like corporate media?
    Your blogs or do you prefer a government controlled media?
    Just curious, no system is perfect but I prefer corporate.
    Its a red flag when anyone starts anything they don't like with "corporate"
    You people could go to China and see the alternative and catch the rest of the Olympics.:)

    Btw, I think liberals have made out quite well with corporate media since most cable new is liberal, cnn, msnbc, etc.

    I'm not them. I can only speak for myself. I'm not saying everyone can "suck it". I'm saying don't wait for someone to pull you out of the hole. Get yourself out. If nobody comes will you die in the hole?

    Yep.

    I totally agree with Sabanfan here in his view.
    I don't mind helping people but they have to want to help themselves.
    I'm not going to do everything for them.
    I also like for the church and charities to help people instead of government.

    Sadly Sabanfan is right on here...
    You have to put forth some effort to pull yourself out of a hole or situation.
    You can't always depend on everyone to save your hide because you are setting yourself up for a major disappointment.

    Why? You have no problem working hard for your money and then giving some of it to somebody who would rather sit around on their butt all day? Hey if that's the case, well it's your money. But I'll be damned if I bust my butt to make a good living for my family and have to give a certain amount of it to somebody because they're lazy and don't care to work for themselves.
