“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
Unfortunately, a lot has changed since John Adams uttered those words in 1770. The media doesn’t want to report the facts and it seems that nearly half the electorate don’t care to know the facts.
My local newspaper, the Syracuse Post Standard, has failed to report on the role in our current economic situation of the Community Reinvestment Act or the corruption at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that Democrats in Congress enabled. They have no problem, however, reporting Democrats’ charges that it all stems from eight years of Republican policies of de-regulation.
Thinking I may have missed it in the newspaper I read every day, I searched their website and the only time the facts are mentioned is in the readers’ comments section.
Katie Couric took no issue with Joe Biden’s fact mangling whatsoever. She either does not know that FDR was not president in 1929 or she does not mind allowing a democrat to tell a lie to the American people without question. Just Joe being Joe.
Thomas Sowell asks if facts matter? If you haven’t heard about who is really complicit in the whole financial crisits read the article. It’s no secret that facts don’t matter to the main stream media. It’s sad that facts don’t matter to many Americans.
I hope John McCain takes the opportunity of Tuesday’s presidential debate with Barack Obama to come out and talk about the facts. His populist turn isn’t helping him. He needs to speak the truth to the American people without the filter of the media. The time to be politically correct has passed.
People seem to be much more concerned about Sarah Palin’s accent than about the constant stream of lies being fed to us by the media and the democrats. Apparently, honesty and integrity have no place in American politics anymore.
“The time to be politically correct has passed.”
If McCain loses this election, I will not fault the intellectually-challenged, the lazy, or the willfully ignorant voters who embraced the “New Democratic Coalition” which will turn our nation into the USSA. Instead, I will fault McCain himself for “playing it nice” with an utterly corrupt Democratic party. The fact that he has not taken off the proverbial gloves shows a lack of judgment to me, and makes me wonder just how much he wants to win this race. Were I a conspiracy theorist, I’d say his lackluster campaign is all for show – making voters feel they actually have a choice of candidates, when in fact, we don’t.

I have to agree completely with your article. McCain needs to speak the truth to the American people without the filter of the media! Denise-Mary’s comments make good sense. I, too, will fault McCain himself for “playing it nice” with an utterly corrupt Democratic party.

Look, its no secret I support Obama……..
I would DEFFINATELY support McCain if it were the same McCain from 2000…..this 2008 McCain has lost his message, the facts, and his mind….he’s reacting irrationally to problems (pseudo-suspending his campaign) attacking when he should be promoting his plans…..he attacks obama for his tax plan and health plans but doesnt get into the nitty gritty of his own……the media does that and he apparently doesnt mind that they are making him look like an A$$……McCain is not the McCain we need…..we need 2000 McCain……thats why Bob Barr is looking more and more attractive
