4. Yes, they did.
But they don't like him any more because he's become too anti-corporate. Somehow I don't think he and Hillary are ever gonna hook up.

6. Clinton isn't about Ideology.. Shes about status quo politics..
Edited on Sat Dec-15-07 10:46 PM by rAVES
Her supporters know it too.. but they just love her because shes a straight shooter and so genuine, or something...


Actually.. what in the hell is it they like?

I'm convinced her chances of winning is a media fabrication.. I really am.

7. But they also endorsed John Edwards in '04
on the Dem side. I wonder what there reason for by-passing him this time was?

8. It says right in their endorsement

Edwards is too "anti-corporate". They literally say that.

Edwards was our pick for the 2004 nomination. But this is a different race, with different candidates. We too seldom saw the “positive, optimistic” campaign we found appealing in 2004. His harsh anti-corporate rhetoric would make it difficult to work with the business community to forge change.

Now you know why they wouldn't even let Dennis in the door.

Fucking Gannett News..... it ain't Murdoch, but it sure as HELL ain't the "liberal" media.
