Honestly, they get turned down on their merger then they start this shit? Send a few to jail and then they will be impartial.

4. The media will do everything they can to tear down Hillary or anyone who is the Dem nominee

The odds for Republicans in 2016 don't look good at all. They have to contend with the 'Blue Wall'...which means the GOP will have to win pretty much every single swing state along with a blue state to even have a chance to win.

The media knows this....they will do everything they can to help Republicans.

I hope to see some of them step into the light over the next few weeks.

Clinton is so much more electable than the Clown Car parade it is imperative that she be taken down a notch or two....13 points ahead as Election Day approaches would be a disaster for all the Cash primed to be spent in event of the usual 2 party horse race...who spends money if the match is between a Candidate and a Clown?

Didn't the bush administration plant a false story in the NYT(?), then, use that planted story as proof of the story's veracity?

How is this different ... get a hack to write a "connect the dots" piece ... that he now admits that he didn't connect the dots; but rather, merely announced "there are dots" ... Now, everyone is pointing to that piece as proof of the underlying, but un-established claim?
