Exceller,
Now you're putting words in my mouth.
The average American can certainly think (and vote accordingly) for themselves. I NEVER said they couldn't.
I DO think that any newspaper, ANY, has a responsiblity to excersise their right to inform the public they sell papers to. That right is constitutionally protected.
I AM stating that the Repubs, because they control both houses, set the agenda...what is to be discussed.
Pgardn said so much when he started this thread. Go back and reread it.
The present administration is "shooting the messenger" for providing the message...yet ANOTHER diversion from their failures.
Now, should we talk about gay marriage, flag burning, school prayer, "illegal aliens"???????
In my humble view, many see right through these vain attempts to divert attention. Just like I saw through your valiant attempt to label my views.
Stick to the issue (no "name calling"). Doing otherwise denies the wisdom of my words and evidences your lack thereof.
