Setting the Record Straight – Hang in there McCainiacs

I feel it necessary to provide the proper context to understand the yellow journalism media we currently have to suffer through these final few weeks of the presidential campaign. Here goes…
Colin Powell, former secretary of state for George W. Bush (the presidency the Dems hate) and a Democrat himself who, for a time, called himself a Republican, has endorsed the Communist Barack Hussein Obama as his choice for president. Whoop-de-do. (Yawn) Does that really surprise you? Most in the media are hyperventilating so badly they need to put paper bags over their heads. For me? A non-story. Frankly–it’s no big deal.
Meanwhile, four former secretaries of state have endorsed John McCain: Henry Kissinger (Nixon), George Shultz and Alexander Haig (Reagan), and Lawrence Eagleburger (Bush 41). Do you hear that little tidbit in any of the reporting on this story? No. Why? Because the media lies and covers the truth–constantly. And because Obama desperately needs somebody with credibility on foreign affairs to be mentioned in the same sentence with him–because he and his running mate Joe Biden are dunces on foreign affairs.
Let’s see, Obama–violating his own stated original promise he would only accept public financing–is outspending John McCain three or four to one (thank you George Soros and Hollywood deadbeats). The media dutifully reports every belch emanating from the Obama campaign and ignores the McCain campaign except to manufacture a few gaffes they can report. They’ve crucified Sarah Palin because she’s “too common” for their elitist inside-the-Beltway tastes (she’s part of the hoi polloi, dontcha know), and of course Palin’s a Christian (nasty filthy people, those Christians). And with all that, the race is still within a few points when “likely voters” are polled.
There’s hope yet!
