they are the reason the war goes on. they are the reason he won't be impeached. they are the ones who

protect him from criticism and ridicule the ones who do. they are the ones who prop him up. never a

discouraging word. there, i feel a little better.

3. I certainly know it!
This has bothered me forever. They protect him from anything bad and never let the Democratic view go anywhere. While I'm at it, even though I don't get really exited about polls, * ratings rarely if ever go below 30%. I find that very interesting. I feel he is closer to 20% but thats just me.

5. Saving It? They're Still Kissing It...
The corporate media sees Democrats as a threat to their stranglehold on the print, cable and airwaves....while Repugnicans gladly help them get special legislation or tax breaks or both. There's also the media elite who thrive on the social climbing and "career building" that goes with sucking up to power. They don't like anything to rock the boat and they value their access and "exclusives" over the truth or serious journalism. The two together have created the smoke screen this regime has used to bullshit a majority of Americans into supporting a war for profit and still pumps out the talking points and "balance" that far outweights this regime's popularity or relevancy.
