The Republican Debate aired this week on MSNBC again shows the bias of the media towards the GOP and conservatives and an intolerance of pure debate. The choice of Chris Matthews was bad enough but the questions were leading and meant to paint each candidate and the pro-war and conservative agenda as out of the mainstream. The Republicans should not so much depend on the mainstream media but in their tried and true constituency. The candidates handled themselves very well and none were rattled by Mr. Matthews biased agenda-ridden moderating. The GOP cannot let the media take control of the election as it thinks it can. The candidates must begin to raise the rhetoric about the war and what we as a nation are facing in this war on terror. The Republicans in the House and Senate and especially in the Administration need to make known in a very determined and deliberate way the treachery being committed by the Democrat Party. Everyday all I hear is Democrat defeatist propaganda. Where are the voices of leadership in the White House and the GOP? We are at a historic crossroad in the history of this country and maybe the world if we lose the War in Iraq and our elected representatives are playing politics instead of doing their duty. The recent show of Bill Maher on HBO gave us a clear example of what the strategy of the Left is by discussing at length how "we must stop calling the war in Iraq as the war on Terror because Iraq did not attack us on Septemer 11, 2001" This is the idiocy being preached and considered high-brow intellectulaism by the Media and the Left. I guess, we slow-thinking rightwing nut jobs could not fathom such nuances of politcal thought. Our patriotism is blinding us to the truth.
To the Media, the Democrats and to the left Patriotism is considered a peasant sentimentality, and is for the ignorant. Patriotism and love of country is considered harmful and dangerous to the nation. Let's hope that the GOP and most freedom-loving peoplehave learned their lesson that the "Media" does not control our freedom and does not speak for America!!
