“The heaviest restriction upon the freedom of public opinion is not the official censorship of a press, but the unofficial censorship by a press which exists not so much to express opinion as to manufacture it.”

I keep wondering what happened to this country, my country, our country, when a man you wouldn't trust to buy a used car from can become a challenger for the highest office in the land, and arguably the world.

There is something, many things, so very wrong.

I hold a vision that I wake up on November 7 and Barack Obama is still our president. I can think no further than that at this point because the alternative outcome will change everything and not in a good way.

When they treated George Dubya with kid gloves during the debates while George lied and chuckled his way through those debates with the sitting Vice President of the United States, Al Gore.

Then, later when they acted like George Dubya was an honest and hard-working President, even though the truth is, he was asleep at the wheel when 9/11 happened, and he took more vacation time than any other president in modern history.

Andrea Mitchell's husband is Alan Greenspan, and yet she reported the news of the 2008 financial collapse as if it were something she had never heard of, all the while her husband was the Chairmen of the Federal Reserve Board!!
Yeah, that's really "fair and balanced" reporting.
Really "liberal" stuff, ya know.

Now the MSM is supporting a Mormon nitwit named Mitt, and they are actively promoting him as the next Ronald Raygun, saying he is smarter than FDR, stronger than LBJ, and better looking than JFK.
I'll bet I have an ulcer the size of a freakin' orange after watching all of this garbage on tv, and reading it in the newspapers, and listening to it on the radio.

And to top it all off, Romney has been getting top secret, intelligence briefings for the last month or so, since he is the official Republican candidate running for President.
Romney knows that the attacks on our consulate in Libya were caused by terrorists, who were inflamed by the anti-Muslim movie trailer, but then he acted like President Obama didn't have access to the very same information!!!


And he said all of that garbage in the 2nd debate, accusing the President of misleading the American people!!

You know who is misleading the American people? Mitt Romney!!
He won't release his federal income tax returns from the past few years.
He won't return the hard drives that he bought and paid for after he was Governor of the state of Massachusetts.
He won't even publish the official records from the 2002 winter Olympic games that were held in Utah.

And now, Romney is using top secret, intelligence briefings to attack President Obama on foreign policy!!

It doesn't get any lower than this!
