So, you get screwed by the local cops, a local (elected) DA, and an idiot judge (probably also elected) and somehow it's because of the "Administration"?
The current free market is staggering under it's current tax burden and regulations. This so-called pollution tax is a made up, arbitrary fairy tale.
How do you calculate it? If you include the total "pollution" cost of production, then the most popular hybrid car, the Prius, darling of the Hollywood pretend geenies, is a worse polluter than a Hummer. Ethanol, the Holy Grail of many, is worse than gas.
But you can bet that when someone implements a "pollution" tax, they won't be taxing these little gems.
Ummm...the USA >i>is at the theoretical full employment...at 4.5%. Don't look in the papers though, you find that good news there.
And the Free Market is working...just look at how Japan is kicking Detroit's ass. Soon, the idiots in charge yjere will understand that no one want land yachts anymore and start making good quality, high MPG cars.
But, they may just go under as they are saddled with billions and billions of dollars in obligations to the unions.
The surest way to tank the USA economy is to create some silly ass, ill conceived, and ill defined pollution tax. Which, by the way, is not part of a free market. That's like someone shooting their foot off because the other fellow in a race did that a long time ago.
Suporting a policy is not the same thing as propaganda. Fairly representing the facts in not propaganda.
As for the 30 minutes a day, his and the other three network's 30 minutes usually set the media's aganda and talking point for the next 24 hours. If Dan Rather said it, then it was sure to be on the front pages of newpapers the next day.
And he wasn't forced out for getting it wrong. He was forced out for knowlingly putting suspect information on the air and reporting it as fact. Then, when it was shown to be without doubt fake, he came up with the insane Fake But Accurate excuse. No, he buried himself with his own bias and arrogance.
It's a whole network being told to steer the straight and narrow and not let their own personal biases muddle the story vs. the titular *head* of a network, their primary and most respected spokesman/reporter, who gets 30 minutes each evening to spread his own personal view of the world.
Yeah, Dan Rather was just a single little old reporter. Jeeze man, get a grip. He ran the place, he controlled everything.
All you have to do is watch the major media outlets and you get things like "Unemployment, inflation, and interst rates at all time lows, but is the average America really better off?"
Or crap like taking flawed and biased polls and then reporting them as headline news.
You may not like Fox News, but the tell it straighter than all the others.
And as far as their editorial side is concearned, they admit they have a viewpoint it and are proud of it. They don't pretend not to like all the others.
...citing Snopes. People are too wrapped up in the Fox News/DailMail boogyman.
And, it is amazing anyone should be complaining about a news outlet engaging in selective reporting and overhyping. For AMCCBSNBCCNNMSNBC is is a tried and true business practice.
And of course since Armitage was not charged with anything, then it stands to reason that no crime was committed and thus the entire Plamegate thing was just one giant Democrat wankfest.
publicly identified himself after seeking permission to do so from Special Counsel Fitzgerald, to whom he had identified himself as the likely person at the start of the investigation.
Ummm...this was after the investigation was over. Of course, you have to wonder about Fitzgerald. He was investigating something he knew the answer to. I guess he needed to set that perjury trap for Scooter.
fascism - a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

1. There is a difference between not supporting and undermining. 2. Letting the Administration twist in the wind like that for that period of time is undermining. 3. In today's Washington, that is defacto support of the Democrats.
Richard Armitage, who's stance against the Iraq war is well known. Richard Armitage, who has consistably undermined the efforts of the Adminstration. Richard Armitage, who, ignored an express Presidential Directive in the Plame investigation when he failed to notify the White House that he was the source of the leak. Richard Armitage, who left the Administration to twist in the wind.
Yeah. I'd call him a Democrat supporter. He may not carry the card, but his heart is right with them.

I think the post stood on it's own merits and I think you made your point very well.
It was just obscured by what appeared to be an off the wall political attack.
So, you get screwed by the local cops, a local (elected) DA, and an idiot judge (probably also elected) and somehow it's because of the "Administration"?
Please explain.

Get a Frickin Life?
Here we go again.
Read closely..."As far as their editoral side..."
Yeah. Right whatever. I'll not argue about anything in Wikipedia.
You believe what you want and I'll do they same...
See you at the ballot box.

No, I mean in the real world where Dan Rather tried to torpedo a presidentail candidate with material he knew was fake.
So if NBC supports the dems policies, they are propagand mouthpieces for the Dems?
First any reasonable reading of the Moody memos shows someone trying to steer a path through the partisan noise on both sides.
Second, linking to wikipedia is useless as any numnut can post crap on there (and crap most of it was).
Third, I suppose you don't think the New York Times, ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBC basically supports Democrats and their policies eh?
People will like the news organizations that report what they want to hear, or at least don't ram their idiology down the viewers throat.

Lawyers can reproduce without sex? What?
OK, I should have said at least the ones that get convicted.
In Washington, it is a two party system, like it or not, and much to the chagrin of the Libertarians and the various radical offshoots of the Dems.
Undermining one party does help the other, much to the delight of both Dems and Repubs
Biased media gives us misleading stories on banners that Say Mission Accomplished, which was in reference to the mission of the carrier.
And last, today's congress would never in a million years pass the bill of rights as written.
I'll type this slowly and use small words.
We have a two party system.
One party is the Republicans.
The other is the Democrats.
There some other parties that don't amount to much.
So if you undermine one, you are helping the other, whether you intend to or not.
There is nothing wrong with doing that, but it doesn't change the fact that you are doing it.
And of course since Armitage was not charged with anything, then it stands to reason that no crime was committed and thus the entire Plamegate thing was just one giant Democrat wankfest.

Hey, I'm here to help!
1. There is a difference between not supporting and undermining.
2. Letting the Administration twist in the wind like that for that period of time is undermining.
3. In today's Washington, that is defacto support of the Democrats.
Using that logic...anyone who is arrested for stealing is a republican supporter I guess.
Now wait a minute. It is well known that crooks are a big Dem Constituency (at least the ones that get caught)!
Richard Armitage, who's stance against the Iraq war is well known.
Richard Armitage, who has consistably undermined the efforts of the Adminstration.
Richard Armitage, who, ignored an express Presidential Directive in the Plame investigation when he failed to notify the White House that he was the source of the leak.
Richard Armitage, who left the Administration to twist in the wind.
Yeah. I'd call him a Democrat supporter. He may not carry the card, but his heart is right with them.
Oh! You are talking about that Richard Armitage guy, the big Democrat supporter who outted Valerie Plame.
