		<description>CORRECTION TO POST:

Now rank Carl Cameron with Rachel M and Keith O of MSNBC and Dana Dash at CNN for their reporting skills and their integrity.

Cambell Brown is ranked almost equally with Carl, Rachel and Keith for her &quot;no Bull - No Bias&quot; claim, alongside O&#039;Reilly for his &quot;No Spin.&quot;, where Carl Cameron is a regular contributor.

Got to a least respect Rachel M and Keith O for their honesty. They openly admit the truth will never get in the way of a good story or their opinion.

Tho she doesn&#039;t cover all the news, if Greta Reports it then chances are it&#039;s truth not fabrication.</description>

		<description>The Republicans lost the election not because their ideas don&#039;t resonate, but because they haven&#039;t governed well.  The solution isn&#039;t more or less ideological purity, but learning to govern better. Better fiscal discipline - more attentiveness to all segments of the electorate - less reckless foreign policy.  Most Americans vote out of practical considerations, so we need to be able to show competence, not just the right ideas and values.

Sarah Palin is to be admired for her social conservatism and her compassion for people with traditional values.  But that is not enough to earn the electorate&#039;s trust.  You also need to demonstrate a high level of competence, and there are many strong social conservatives who are much more conversant in national policy. A presidential candidate shouldn&#039;t have to &quot;cram&quot; a bunch of facts. You need to have a real understanding of the issues and be able to formulate your own complex ideas about them. I didn&#039;t see that with Palin, and more importantly, neither did most of America.</description>

		<description>&quot;Republicans need to realize that a lot of moderate Republicans and independents are totally turned against the party by the right wing talk radio blather.&quot;

Are these &quot;moderate&quot; Republicans and independents disturbed by the MSM blitzkrieg against Sarah Palin and her family and Ohio state officials illegaly looking into Joe the Plumber&#039;s background? How about Jack Murtha using enemy propaganda to falsely accuse Marines of murdering civilians in cold blood. Are they disturbed by that?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And for the record, yes (and the Pope agrees with me) and no (but I am smart enough to recognize that criminalization doesn&#039;t eliminate, or even provide the most practical solution to actually reducing, the problem).&lt;/blockquote&gt;

My friend you show me your heart when I had thought you had none, good for you.

 In the first place the pope who is called Christ on earth has a bad place in the word of God, it&#039;s called the unforgivable sin, and if he believes in evolution and teaches such he has committed another  blasphemy against the word of God and against the holy spirit. Those who profess to know the word and lead those who come to them for ministry and testimony astray are going to a place they can not come back from.

In the second part, I understand the illusion that has been put upon you by the world, it is not your fault. I  will ask you this, how do you make criminal what is not just or rational without falseness from the beginning, you shalt not murder, what you do to the Little children you also do to me. It&#039;s is mans part in the new convent and the old to rule justly under the law of God the father, not to give heed to the folly of the thinking man.


ask yourself why when someone tells you of the murder of 50 million creations who never had and will never know the life that was meant for them, means little to most if not far to many, ask yourself why it means what it means to you.

And alway remember that no matter what I show as laking as a Christian, that I am a true believer because I have understanding from the wisdom of the Holy spirit by way of it guiding me through the word of God, and that I TRULY LOVE AND PRAY FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU EVEN THAT I STILL MOSTLY TALK LIKE A FOOL, AS I HAVE SAID MY EVOLUTION AS A CHRISTIAN IS FAR FROM COMPLETE IN MAINLY ONE AREA.

I hope you will think on this with more then your intellect, I know you have a good one but it hardly matters in the grand plan of things.</description>

		<description>Republicans need to realize that a lot of moderate Republicans and independents are totally turned against the party by the right wing talk radio blather.  Some of the stuff being said by Limbaugh, Beck, O&#039;Reilly, Cunningham, etc. was just embarrassing.  For example, Beck&#039;s constant &quot;Obama is a Socialist&quot; rants WHILE Republicans including McCain voted for a Socialist bailout for which the argument is not whether it is Socialist, but whether it is Communist! 

The party needs to distance itself from the hate-talkers, or it is doomed to the dustbin of political history.</description>

		<description>On what grounds do you say Sarah Palin won&#039;t get past 40%?  Because you don&#039;t like her?

She didn&#039;t get an 80% - 90% popularity level in Alaska by being an idiot, and ignoramus, or a polarizing figure,  She has consistently worked with Democrats in order to get her plans accomplished.

That wasn&#039;t her job as McCain&#039;s VP.  That&#039;s doesn&#039;t mean she can&#039;t do it.

Do you even know anything about Gov. Palin other than what the MSM has fed you?  Or are you just so in awe of the MSM that you don&#039;t think anyone could ever possibly get past them, connect with the American people, and prove the MSM wrong?</description>

		<description>Do you really think an honor student, college graduate, daughter of two teachers, and a governor didn&#039;t know that Africa was a country?

Or that someone who negotiated with Canada didn&#039;t know that Canada was part of NAFTA?

And as to the Couric question regarding Supreme Court cases, I have a Masters in Political Science and to be honest, I couldn&#039;t name one recent case without cracking a book (Marbury, Brown, Dred Scott of course...).  

All this is a bunch of hooey.

And one more thing, with 5 kids, she probably has helped her children study for tests, she knows where freaking Africa is.

I just think that some McCain staffers are bitter that Palin was popular that their horrible campaign went down in flames.</description>

		<description>&quot;A GOP where the likes of Brooks and Noonan aren’t welcome would be a fringe party, indeed.&quot;

How would it be a fringe party, what size of the electorate consists of yuppie/country club/Left-wing media Republicans? At most 1%, not that it&#039;s entirely unimportant because every bit helps but these people just saw what way the wind was blowing and went along for the ride. Palin just happened to be the excuse they needed.</description>

		<description>Oh, I don&#039;t know. certainly, if turned loose, she would make chowder out of Biden, and likely, out of Obama as well. Jindal, perhaps not.How effective she is, you see, depends on what crowd you&#039;re comparing her to.

&quot;But Bit...&quot;, I hear you say...&quot;Obama/Biden WON&quot;.
True. Fly in that ointment of course has always been that Obama&#039;s support cannot be explained using facts and logic... and thereby could not be &lt;strong&gt;defeated &lt;/strong&gt;by use of them, either. Most of his supporters have been operating on pure emotion.

I suspect that emotion will change shortly, once they remember The Who....

&quot;Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss&quot;

... as all these Clintonista retreads and Chicago party bosses move in.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;There are certainly others in the party who in four years may well be ready to take that mantle. Jindal sees one such case.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

But, Bit, what about the Jindal-Palin Death Match I mentioned above? I&#039;m afraid Sarah Barracuda will have Smilin&#039; Bobby for lunch.</description>
