I need news articles
My home (red) town newspaper has printed two pages of pro Palin/Mccain bullshit. Even some anti Barrack stuff. The GOP flood them with all this and they print it. They will print pretty much anything they are sent.

I need some really hard hitting anti Palin/Mccain pieces that I can email them without being worried about copyright problems. Please help!
I write some stuff myself but I couldn't without swearing.

5. Find something in LBN
In form it into your own stories with your own narrative. One can't be written for you, you must write it yourself with new and information you have gathered. Take you pick on info you can use on Phalin. And don't be afraid to site the used material, it makes you look professional and stuff.

:hi:

9. From the Wall Street Journal
Thomas Frank
http://www.wsj.com/article/SB122100226859616967.html?mod=hpp_us_inside_today


" . . . A few days ago I talked politics with Donn Teske, the president of the Kansas Farmers Union and a former Republican. Barack Obama may come from a big city, he admits, but the Farmers Union gives him a 100% rating for his votes in Congress. John McCain gets a 0%. "If any farmer in the Plains States looked at McCain's voting record on ag issues," Mr. Teske says, "no one would vote for him."

Now, Mr. McCain is known for his straight talk with industrial workers, telling them their jobs are never coming back, that the almighty market took them away for good, and that retraining is their only hope.

But he seems to think that small-town people can be easily played. Just choose a running mate who knows how to skin a moose and all will be forgiven. Drive them off the land, shutter their towns, toss their life chances into the grinders of big agriculture . . . and praise their values. The TV eminences will coo in appreciation of your in-touch authenticity, and the carnival will move on."
