There are a ton of polls that show Obama with a huge lead in PA and all the media focuses on is the Mason Dixon poll...I WONDER THE FUCK WHY?

voting machines have a paper trail. :eyes:
Hey Rickey? Where have you been since we've been speaking out from THE MOMENT these vile NO PAPER TRAIL voting machines were rolled out?
He's acting like this is some sort of revelation that he just arrived at on his own. :eyes:

3. If it has any impact on getting a paper trail let him act how ever makes him happy. |
|
The important thing is the vote, even if he feeds his ego to make our point.

2. The media have NEVER been our friends, so why should anyone be surprised that |
|
They're whoring away?
The MSM have ALWAYS been our enemies, and I'd trust them about as much as I'd trust letting a rattlesnake come into my bed on a bitterly cold night.

5. Suggestion -- focus on the "ton of polls" and forget about the M-D poll. |
|
You will be much happier.

7. DECONSOLIDATE the media. |
|
Let's push so that we no longer have JUST FIVE huge media conglomerates in Republican hands.
We got much better reporting when there were 50 media companies competing for our attention. More diverse viewpoints too.

8. What would they talk about otherwise? |
|
If there's no horse race the "media" is gagged.

9. Let's be honest...they wanna justify their existence |
|
I don't know if you remember the time before 24 hour news....but back then...but they could provide the news in about 1 hour a day and that was enough.
Now with 24 hour news...they have to have something....so they hype everything.
I think Obama is going to crush McCain on Election Day and I think the media knows that...but if everyone starts to believe it, then why tune in?
So they hype small polls to get people hyped up to watch more hype.
Personally I think the only good part is that it gets voters out and gets then voting early where applicable.
