So you are telling me that is the media's fault for having the audacity to show the speeches of social conservatives? Oh, that's a good one, if only we just didn't know what nut jobs some of the tea party candidates are, everything would be OK, ignorance is bliss. Fred you have indeed been brainwashed by the right, while complaining that the current administration hasn't told the truth, you are advocating that the conservatives hide the truth of the far right social conservatives, paint them as simply fiscal conservatives, until, of course, they get in office.FredHayek wrote: Once again, you were manipulated. The media showed you the speeches of the social conservatives, or edited the speeches of the fiscal conservatives to present them in a bad light.
This is the same media that wasn't willing to tell you Obama was lying about getting to keep your doctor until after the election.

That part of the party recognizes that it takes compromise to govern our country. What the radical right has been pushing will not work, and it has led the party to a time of decision I sincerely hope the sensible part of the party prevails. RINO should refer to the Birch wing of the party.

In the old days, the media was proud to be advocates, papers even called themselves names like the Park County Republican. Now they pretend to be impartial, but most graduates of journalism schools are liberals, taught by liberal professors, going to work in liberal newsrooms. And they are also taught that their job is to help people and save the world instead of just reporting the facts like the old days. The stories they want to cover are the ones that make conservatives look bad, especially if you can get a sound bite that you can mix so that it is extreme. Like when NBC cut the tape about Zimmerman to make it sound like he called him black when he was only answering the dispatcher's question.
Archer,
Maybe you are happy that the liberal media crafts the tales you were already ready to believe, but I prefer a variety of sources for my news.

You are wrong. There you go lumping all journalist in the same bucket, doing exactly the same thing that Archer does.
I know at least 8 on the reporters for The Flume (full name of the paper is still Park County Republican/The Flume - check their masthead) and it's actually frightening how unbiased they are.
I've actually learned a lot from these reporters and the editor at The Flume. I've learned how to write an article that doesn't have any stink of my personal opinions.
Don't stoop down to being a bigot like LJ and Archer.

I've never lumped you into "all liberals" ever. I'm well aware that there are liberals that are nothing like you.
