The way to get at those on top is to sueeze the ones that they're throwing inder the bus. That's why all the "I don't knows", because they KNOW that once they give ip names, those people will blow their whistles. Let's hope that the gutless media will sprout some b@##s and do what they did to Nixon. Too much to hope for?? Let's see.

Problem is, they're creating more opportunity for voter fraud. Here in Connecticut, the Dems are proposing an extension of voting days. The more days we vote, the more opportunity for fraud. Call me old-fashioned but I still believe in the "first Tuesday after the first Monday" and ONLY that day to vote.

This column should be rquired reading for every citizen, but, truthfully, less than half would understand it. Now, more than ever, we heed the media to step up to the plate. Their hero has been defrocked. They know it, but will they admit it? It reminds me of the story of the scorpion and the monkey. Obama couldn't hide his Chicago roots forever. If the media had told the truth about Obama's early political history I doubt if we'd be having this discussion today. If he has failed them, they have only themselves to blame.

You're right, DG, I agree that a few Tea Prtiers went off the deep end with strange candidates. However, I'd like to think that that was a lesson to all TP's. They have to vet the people that they support. They can't blindly nominate someone who says things they want to hear. That may mean that they have to loosen their requirements a tad. The Democrats are successful because they really do have a "big tent". I'm sure that the TP can support and elect candidates who may not meet EVERY requirement.

I'm afraid you're all right. We have, or are very near, the "tipping point". What astounds me is that there are people out there who are productive(just like you and I), and yet believe in Obama's promises and policies. It's easy to understand why someone who's "taking" would vote Left, but for someone who's contributing to do that is beyond my ability to understand.

It's just a coincidence, isn't it? We have the most corrupt administration in recent times and a moribund media! Maybe I'm naive, but self-respect is still important in my life. These "jounalists" who keep looking the other way, or otherwise fudging the news?? Can they SPELL "self respect"?? And the biggest dupes of all?? Well, they would be the army of admirers who refuse to see that the "emperor has no clothes". God help the USA!!!!!!!!!!!

Until a majority of Americans unsderstand what John wrote this morning, we will not get our country back. In my travels(both real and internet), I still find a lot of "pom-pom shakers".It's as if they were just told that Santa Claus isn't real and refuse to believe. They want to continue to embrace the Camelot that Obama promised without having the slightest idea how he would produce it.They refuse to let go of their dreams. I've had people tell me that it's all because of the Republicans that he hasn't been able to move life-changing bills through Congress. Even though I remind them of his first two years when he "owned" D.C. We HAVE become "low-information" voters!!

These pols can trumpet their "accomplishments" because there's no one "on duty" at the nation's media centers. If journalists valued what they do, they would call out boasts like these and, perhaps, the next AG would think twice before handing out plums to his fellow attorneys. The fact that the country is racing down hill can be laid at the feet of a mostly moribund media. Question is, why? What do they find so attractive in where we're heading? There was a time when the media was on "our" side. Maybe it's because of all those banguets where politicians meet media. How can you attack a guy you just got drunk with?

I've followed Presidents and politics since Roosevelt, and I have never been so discouraged. There was a time when politicians were careful about what they said because they KNEW that someone in the media would call them out. We now have a lethal combination at work in this country. We have a group of politicians that is, not only transforming the country, but conspiring to make their policy permanent by vote-buying, relaxed immigration and fraud. The media will insure that they are successful.

True story: I was hit with an 18 million dollar lien, courtesy of the FDIC because I was part of a bank that "didn't assess the risks in it;s loan portfolio". This, despite the fact that the ENTIRE bank failure amounted to only 4 mil. I wonder if the directors of Pritzker's bank are living with a lien of that magnitude? The fact that no one at FDIC can explain where the 18 mil number came from, they won't release it and have already conficated the equity on a piece of property I sold. I'm sorry to inject a personal story this morning, but I couldn't escape the irony when I read about Penny's bank.
