The MOMENT the MSM begins swiftboating Obama, I turn my TV off!
I hope their ratings plummet and that George and Charlie and Chris and Tim and the rest of the cabal are reduced to eating hobo stew over a fire in an oil drum on Nantucket.

I will rediscover music, art, gardening, cooking, and my family.

I will have my husband clip out the anti-Obama articles and Maureen Dowd columes so I won't see them-

"Obama ears surgically enhanced?"
"Michelle steals congregants Jello mold recipe"
"Pictures of Obama dumping cartons of flag pins in Lake Michigan"
"Obama tells Kindergartners there is no Santa"
"Secret Obama/Osama meeting in Molly Pitcher rest stop revealed"
"Ayers dogsits for Barack & Michelle in 1990!"

I will phone bank and donate money and hope to see the biggest landslide in history - media-proof and election tampering proof.

2. I hear you. There is more to life than dirty politics.

I made out just fine without cable news TV after the theft of the 2000 election, and again after 2004, up until late last year.

I was calm, kind and peaceful and found wonderful new interests.

I'm too old for this shit.


Peace:thumbsup:

3. I have to laugh at my own title -"begins(?) swiftboating"
After the all Reverend Wright all the time coverage. Anyone who was going to be influenced by that has already been influenced. Although they can continue to flog it indefinitely as far as I am concerned - it makes them so sanctimonious and pathetic and, worse of all - BORING!
