consumers of "news programming" in the US?

"we have to narrow this down, they arent serious"

Edwards being the epitome of a serious candidacy.
were these remarks intentionally made to be overheard?

Whats worse? Possibly believing the dust storm of terror and Iraq prop?

or accepting it after the fact with a fairly complete understanding of what it was all about?
If that is the conventional platform, do we really need two parties?

Who does Biden represent and why would a two time loser be the saving grace?

Whatever interests Clarence Thomas serves, must be Biden's as well.
There isnt an iota of light slipping between the folk's with the means to
place Thomas on the SCOTUS despite the singular absurdity of his refusing to
comment on Roe V Wade and his assertion that he had never discussed it with
anyone.

Thomas was confirmed ONLY because of Biden's role as chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarence_Thomas_Supreme_Court_nomination

so with the issue of women's reproductive rights, workplace safety and the integrity of the court
tossed in the trash, we get a series of terrible rubber stamp appointments and a very serious problem
manifested so harshly in 2000, turning our country into a cesspool of unbridled greed and shattered
guarantees enumerated on some GD piece of paper.

all of this can be laid at the footsteps of the Thomas confirmation.

Who does Biden represent?

He has never been a vital candidate, just an also ran with capped teeth and hair plugs.
probably his most authentic features.
The only institution I expect would fully back his prospects would be the NSA.
we need to remember who really has their interests in direct opposition to democracy, freedom and justice.

They may cast the deciding vote.

How important was post Tiananmen Chinese MFN to Walmart?

Im thinking this was a big moment for American history.

Is the ILLEGAL UNJUST and WHOLLY IMMORAL invasion of Iraq not an issue anymore?

while the menace of ISIS or whatever threats WILL ramp up before voting begins,
are to be taken seriously in a contextual vacuum?
Seems like the roots of these problems should be dissected and yanked,
not just dyed and restyled.
