I found the pundits at the last debates on ABC outrageous. The “debates” should be renamed "Pundit Trials." The fact is that these overpaid pundits, who are part of the intelligentsia, do not have the same concerns that regular citizens have. It’s simply impossible due to the fact that they do not live among the citizenry but live and are part of the elite. Do you think that with their fat salaries they are really affected by the rise of oil prices? Do you really think they are concerned with the state of public schools when their kids are mixing with the elite in the safety of private schools? I was so offended by the fact that I had to watch over half the show before they finally dealt with the issues that concerns most people. This is the only way we can get a real idea of where the candidates stand. I mean, who cares about the pins. The pundits certainly were not wearing them. Does that make them less patriotic? Meanwhile, the Media is having a love fest with McCain and his life story and forgetting once again to deal with the issues. If they did, it would be clear that McCain’s policies are the continuation of the Bush and Neo-cons agenda. Last time I heard the citizenry rejected this agenda – clearly the Media has not. It is time for us to get our house in order - it is not ok to go to war and not pay for it. It is not ok to go to war and lie about it. It is not ok to talk family values and not support health care and job security. It is time to change the status quo! Shame on these pundits and their cohorts. Be aware that the masses will rise and be heard whether through the ballot box or their pocket books, but rise they will. It is only a matter of time. Meanwhile, I am shutting off my TV for good. I just cancelled my cable. I cannot take this propaganda trash any longer.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
