You know, after their 2004 churnalism of showing 'funny' pictures of John Kerry, or discrediting him as a coward in Vietnam I thought of much more dirt they would sling at Obama and/or Clinton...
Probably stuff like:
- Some people say once a Mooslim always a Mooslim
- Statistics show that most of the murders are committed by African Americans
- O'Reilly shows how Obama rhymes with Osama and that both hate America
- Clinton's husband had a sexual relationship and lied to the American people!
- ...


Do you think that's because the eight years Bush administration simply don't look that good to the eight years Clinton administration? Or because this Administration can't serve for another term? Or will they get dirty when the Democratic candidate is known?

Sometimes, I can have better political discussions with high schoolers. They at least drop the pathetic name calling.

rumor, you talk to high schoolers?

maybe because the republicans have mccain as a front runner and he isn't as conservative as faux new would like?

I'm guessing it's because the name "McCain" is kind of a swear word for many Republicans.

It was a little more than that. He lied before a Grand Jury and as a result, had his law license suspended and lost his right to appear in the Supreme Court.

At least the (R)s were brave enough to go into the hostile grounds of CNN and MSNBC for their debates.
