i've been busy. considering only 3 of you actually read this it comes to no surprise.
i can't help but feel frustrated by the current political landscape.
i came into this election season with an open mind. i've always been a staunch republican supporter but obama certainly had some appeal to him. however, i have now made up my mind but it's mainly a middle finger to the media and bloggers everywhere.
i am SICK TO DEATH of this onslaught of negative articles about john mccain. two years ago the media sang his praises for his willingness to work with people outside of his party and for being someone who could not be influenced and made up his own mind. fast forward to today and they all crucify him because he's running against a democrat.
i'm sick to death of the media pointing fingers and trying to influence elections with their crap. worse, i'm concerned because so many people buy into it.
so here's my question.....is it the media's fault that they are so hypocriticle or are we at fault for not calling them out on it?

I feel you man. McCain even has enough character to defend Obama's character at rallies when McCain supporters make false claims about Obama. Frankly, I like both candidates, for different reasons. But when it comes to the war and the economy, I don't want someone in office whose only experience is a few years in the Senate (and who the black community expects freebies from).
even working in my local news station, to take a stance in conversation that attempts to defend or support McCain is conversation suicide, because 5 others will immediately tell you why you're wrong. So is the media to blame? partly. But more so the viewers must demand less bias in their news reports.
But unfortunately, most of the people who vote in the U.S. shouldn't vote anyways (because they haven't informed themselves on the issues of the candidates). Many people just make a decision based on an ad or news headline.
God and Politics: the two things I'll usually have something to talk on.
Peace.
