They're in too deep to back off now, and will not willingly accept defeat. The person taking over the reins of leadership from Bush must be one of their own, regardless of party. That is why the media relentlessly ambushed, weeded out, and tossed six of the eight Democratic presidential wannabes unceremoniously aside. Tarpley and Chaitkin say we "are not to condone or advance this egoistic behavior, but to stand tall and say no to those who claim power." I agree. Those like Dick Cheney who have a death grip on power, and who will only tighten that grip if they remain in power, do not care what the American people think. White House press secretary Dana Perino echoed Cheney's sentiments last week when she told a reporter the American people have a right to speak only once every four years. After that, they can just shut up and follow the leader... That candidate is former Vice President Al Gore, the man legally elected President of the United States in 2000. It's time to heal the wound and move on to the Inauguration. Together, we must ask Al Gore to answer the call one last time. If it takes a new party, so be it. Because saving our republic, repairing our Constitution, and returning the power to the people is what it's all about.

Thank you... You are absolutely right. "News" now consists of a shallow botoxed airhead throwing a question like a piece of raw meat to a pack of "analysts" or "senior strategists" who tear into it in a screaming frenzy -- spewing ignorance, belching hate, and interrupting each other until time is up -- and nothing is settled. You are probably right about Gore, too, but I refuse to give up until he says a definite "NO!" The perfect ticket -- for me at least -- is Al Gore/John Edwards. by

The author is a very "with-it" old lady who aspires to bring a bit of truth, justice, and commom sense to a nation that has lost touch with its humanity in the search for societal "perfection".
Another great article, Sheila! All I can add in response is, "Yeah, what she said!" by

Sandy Sand began her writing career while raising three children and doing public relations work for Women's American ORT (Organization for Rehabilitation through Training). That led to a job as a reporter for the San Fernando Valley Chronicle, a weekly publication in Canoga Park, California. In conjunction with the Chronicle, she broadcast a tri-weekly, ten minuted newscast for KGOE AM. Following the closure of the Chronicle, Sand became the editor of the Tolucan Times and Canyon Crier newspape...
Shampoo, rinse, repeat Every four years I write about what Sam Donaldson says every four years. After every presidential election he wonders where the press was during the campaign. He says they did not do their jobs; they were lazy; they went for the easy side dishes and not the meat. He's right, but even he won't change, so what makes him think anyone else in the major media will change? by

Yeah... The operative word here seems to be "after" each election...Sam should open his big mouth and take the media to task while they are abdicating their journalistic responsibility -- not "after..." by

Lifelong reader, sometime writer with eclectic tastes and libertarian leanings. Don't hold my semi-notorious Berkeley history against me, I settled down so completely after 40 that I can barely recall my loosy-goosy self. But it sure beats going to the same party every night.
The media orchestrated the "choice" before anyone ever had a chance to vote. I agree with all of your observations except perhaps about Gore. His approach is too corporatized to be trusted. Remember who he chose for VP. by

Hater of Nazis above all. Hobbies include activism, military model building, military history, exciting and vital conversation with retired crooks. Retired
Crook media always changes the subject. Long campaigns. Endless parades of commercials. Dumming down through talking down. The crimes are endless and pervasive. Commercial media should be in the dust bin. by
