Election 2008

Okay so I've been watching the Town Hall Meeting for McCain/Palin (one of those rare times when they are together) and was finding it on CNN and Foxnews, but MSNBC was still doing their regular 'beat up the President' programming.

They did finally jump in -- as soon as the question of Abortion came up and only during that portion -- then as the anchor was throwing it to a commercial she summed it up as a McCain/Palin rally focusing on economics, national security, but "especially on abortion" -- what???

The topic came up because some guy in the audience ASKED about it because it was never asked at the debate.

Now MSNBC needs to stop trying to pass itself off as 'neutral' and 'fair' and 'non-partisan'.

Actually watching the Town Hall gathering --- this is what people wanted in the last debate ... what you saw on national tv was not a Town Hall debate -- it was too planned, it was too controlled .... in a Town Hall debate the majority of the questions should come from the audience members, the mic gets passed from person to person and the questions that come up are the ones that get answered, not the ones that the candidates are comfortable with.

MSNBC: They did give Palin props for being a great campaigner ... then they turned around and attacked McCain (rather his wife) over pointing out that Obama voted against funding the troops because the bill he voted against did not contain a time table - it was a straight funding bill .... why did they call it hypocritical? because McCain voted against the form of the bill that did contain the time table -- which I don't blame him for voting against.

Interesting thing, the anchorwoman (andrea something) came up just short of saying Palin and Cindy McCain where becoming [word for female dog]es during the campaign because they are so passionate in their views.

Interesting. Bet she wouldn't make such implications towards Hillary or Pelosi or any other woman Democrat who are just as passionate

interesting story on CNN -- they actually exposed the difference in the medical records .... McCain +11000 pages ... Obama 1 page.

Obama campaign has said that no records would be released and they would not answer the question as to whether health is a legitamate question.

You have to wonder what they are hiding ... the short statement from Obama's dr says he has been seen regualarly for 'upper respitory' matters, 'skin rashes', and ... drat, forgot the rest ... but you have to wonder what is in his records that they won't release them, yet they bucked at McCain's letting reporters only see his records for a limited time.

But if they think health is such a big deal - and they must because they keep bringing up McCain's age and how Palin is only 'one heartbeat away' - then why aren't they releasing Obama's health records???
