The run for the 2012 Presidential election has begun. Obama has already declaired his intention to run. The Republicans are searching for someone to run against our sitting President in November of 2012. There are a lot of tired old faces out there but I recently attended a gathering of grass roots individuals and met a man who, I feel, can rescue our Country from the malaise in which we now find ourselves. His name is Herman Cain. Please check him out. His web site is hermancain.com. Go to the News Room page and listen to some of his past speeches and interviews. Personally I found him to be very intelligent, charismatic and articulate with a very deep grasp of the problems facing America and the World today.
I urge you to check him out and, if you feel as I do, send him a donation. Oh, by the way, the first thing you will notice about Mr. Cain and he will tell you this, is he is Black.
Herman Cain has an up hill battle in getting recognized. The reason for this is he is Obama's worst nightmare. The main stream media has a problem with him because he completely destroys their argument that the Republicans are racists. They therefore will not report upon any of his campaign activities. Despite the fact that he is receiving so little media coverage, he is continueing to rise in the polls.

Most of the media is not "truthful" in my opinion! It seems to me that most all behind some agenda or a candidate and adjust the story to their benefit! It is similar to gossip in that each person who passes the info on, adjusts it to suit them or make it "more interesting"! It is just like an English Teacher told me once, "Adverbs and adjectives can sometimes change the whole outlook and meaning of a sentence". I depend on Fox to somewhat relate the truth as they seem to cover somewhat both sides of an issue most of the time, but you do know where they stand!ReactReply

From any journalistic standpoint, from any school, or any academic, Fox news would not be considered "legitimate" in any sense of the word. And if you want to construct a vast "left wing liberal conspiracy" out of that, I'm sure that you can and there is a lot of help out there.

I rely upon the liberal left wing media, MSNBC, George Soros, The DNC, trade unions and others to point out all of the lies perpetrated by FOX News. Have you seen any lately? Neither have I. The so called lies about FOX that these people have stated have turned out to be made up stories to begin with. No one should ever take any statement at face value that ANY organization puts out to be the whole truth. Everyone has an agenda and it seems like no one has a problem with slanting a story to fit that agenda. Every citizen should make it his duty to investigate for himself to find what the real truth is. Remember Edward R Morrow and Walter Cronkite are dead and no one has ever truly replaced them.

I believe it is a waste to argue with you any longer as obviously, you have a personal opinion expressed here and it is a waste of time! I hardly doubt you are involved politically enough in the US to make a difference anyway since you are North of it! BTW, your video is a joke as your "Moderator" Stewart certainly has his own agenda and I do not have to construct a conspiracy as he has shown a perfect one for awhile, so I really need no help! You have your opinion and I have mine! We are even in that respect, so I see no need to argue any further! Thanks for your interest in our Country! Good Bye!ReactReply

Good Bye![/quote] Well we hve had a debate about Fox on other threads, as most people agree people follow news media that suits their own world view, most people in the US don't understand Murdoch's agenda and are very naive, luckily in the UK they are uncovering some of his real lack of interest in Corporate governance. Under US law it is quite probable that James Murdoch will be prosecuted for corrupt practice. I wait for Bruce to react on the latest developments. Varney tried to interview the "Chairman" and was told to F*** off by Rupert, who didn't want to answer. For years he has avoided real scrutiny and probably Sean Hannity would have volunteered to lick his boots. For Herman: Vote for the GOP or teaparty if you want to but you should explain to Herman that most countries have both income tax and a consumption tax. The real problem is various administrations wasted trillions on defence, put your govt in hock and now propose to cut spending and reduce aggregate demand at a time when total demand is flat. GH Bush called it voodoo economics and he was right. No doubt people will quote the Cato Institute etc, I suggest just dividing the republic down the middle and create 2 different economies!! Seriously the net has polarised debate in a new way. I see HC is promoting his new Iowa office opening, let's see what the first primaries say. I still think HC is too limited in experience and political skills to make the grade. Newt would never be elected by at least he has a serious level of knowledge, sound debating skills and is not as socially conservative or loopy as Michelle Backman. For a tax lawyer she seems very loose with her logic her memory and knowledge, no way can she win a general electionReactReply

Yes. A man who advocates changing the labour laws so younger children can work. According to him, they should replace unionized janitors in school to save money. He's the worst hypocrite of the bunch and is in no position to be arguing any moral issue as he does.

(49)ReactReply - DEDesertRatOriginal PosterDec 7, 2011In one of my earlier posts (which I believe has been deleted or combined with this one) I stated that one of the biggest threats that Republican had to over come in this Presidential election was the main stream media. Well Cain was getting too high in the polls and it scared them. They had to get rid of him! Well, they succeeded and thereby proved what really low lives they really are.
The main stream media has only one goal for the Presidential election of 2012, that is to get Barak Hussain Obama re-elected to the office of President of the United States. One major east coast newspaper has actually been running ads to pay people for any information that they can use against Republican candidates. This is fine because we don't want the sleazebags running our Country. The problem is, if they don't have the information, they will make up the story about the honest people they don't like.

John Edwards political career was killed by having an affair on his cancer stricken wife. Newt did the same thing, dumping her when she was ill for his mistress. Alas, Newt ascribed his "moral transgressions" to his great love for his country.
