The Media Sure Seems HAPPY To Be At the RNC!!!
I mean, they all seem GENUINELY happy, all smiling, and talking so sweet and nice about laura bush and the bush twins, and arnold, and rudy, awwwwww...

and their smiles are all so BROAD and AUTHENTIC when they have to talk about how well the republicans have been doing so far in NYC!

At the DNC they all seemed to just kind of be "going through the motions" just kind of THERE because they HAD TO BE.

Now, all the anchors and journalists and analysts are truly home!

Remember, home is where the heart is!

:loveya: Media & RNC :loveya:

4. Must be nice to be a republican!
Anyone else notice how many black female spokeswomen there are for state delegates at the RNC? It's like they used them all for that purpose.

3. one difference...
nobody else is happy...there are protesters galore at tweety's place..with Mission NOT accomplished...all I saw at the DNC were some few bush signs...

the true picture of the American people is the protesters..more people feel that way than feel like these assholes..they will see...November 2nd will blow EVERYONE away...get everyone to the polls...TURNOUT is the medias enemy...they won't know what hit 'em

6. We had this problem in 2000 also
There is something going on behind the scenes where the GOP just treats the press better in ways that the DEMS do not. There is obviously a social friendliness and connection between the media and the GOP that is missing from the relationship with the DEMS. How this computes with the "fact" that "most" media people are DEMS and vote DEM is a mystery to me?

7. I guess we're going to have to bribe them to ever get them back on
our side again. Free food, free cars--hey, whatever it takes. I'm sure that the Repugs have to be doing something to gain their favor besides tax cuts. . .

9. Maybe the bathroom situation is better than at the Fleet Center....
portable toilets vs. NYC glitz and food...half of them probably live in NYC, too.

10. The face of the media we see are rich Republican ones.
Most of the celebrity talking heads we see as the face of the media and read their columns in the newspapers are very highly paid and very wealthy. They are not Democrats, they are Republicans by the nature of their wealth. They have "made it" and know what side of the bread the butter is on. Rich people are Republicans because they know the Republicans will protect their wealth and give them government that solidifies their position.
