Why Can't We Ever Get The Upper Edge on *CO and The Repugs?.....
It always seems that no matter what the Dems do - the MSM portrays them as the bad guys. I'm sick and tired of this. We need to deal on a position of strength. I believe that in both the AG Firing Scandal and this approprations bill - we do have the upper hand - but you'd never know that by listening the MSM.

I took some time yesterday and put this together. I thought some of you might enjoy this:

Ode to geoRGE
a poem by Global1

On the verge
As the Dems converge on the purge
We see an upsurge in violence
In spite of the surge
In the scourge we call Iraq

Let me diverge
As the talking heads emerge
Look there’s Snow in his serge
He will urge
That Rove will immerge
Not under oath

So the Dems subpoena – ah - a splurge
And tell *Co to choke on a spurge
And we watch *Co submerge
As is played a sad dirge
We move on
From unmerge to merge

1. Liked your poem.
I, too, am sick of the way the media strokes the other side-constantly. But in the end, it's all about money. They are being highly paid by the Bushies to side with the repugs on the bottom line.
Until we can find a way to sway the MSM to our side with some major moolah, they'll always go with who feeds them.

3. We're taking flak cause we're on the offensive.
We got a ground game and they literally got an air game. Doesn't matter. Tucker and Beck and Rush and Gonzo are all going bananas because they see where we're going and they see we ain't slowing. God love 'im, Bill Clinton's words about "false dichotomy" are a little big of that too.

Pay no attention to the air game. We need to keep on charging because we are on the offensive and the ground ahead looks pretty clear. When you're on top, expect your ankled to get bit on. The big picture is still quite promising.

4. BushInc cronies bought control of the broadcast media in the 80s and 90s
and they are using it to protect the Bushboy and promote the fascist agenda.

As intended.
