I do find it manipulative that they excluded Ron Paul and the session after the "forum" last night seemed to be bent in favor of Mitt Romney. While I am disappointed in these I am certainly not surprised. Fortunately, Al Gore's invention makes it pretty tough to dominate the populace with propaganda.

Al Gore never said that he "invented" the Internet. According to your theory, you know that, because you have Internet access. So, you knowingly wrote false propaganda because it coincides with your bias. Now, I can call you out on your propaganda here, but there are no mechanisms to correct the media when they put their agenda above the truth. It's a one-way street with the media.

No, but he does make alot of other lies up. Even won an oscar for them.

He only compiled a presentation based on what many scientists had written or said. He didn't "make alot of other lies up." [sic]

Whether the projections are correct or not is not something anyone can say right now - maybe yes, or maybe no. Either way, there is no evidence that he "lied" about the data or projections of the scientists.

Anyone who claims to be bias free is either dead, dishonest, or stupid. I was joking about Al Gore.

Rolex.. there is no evidence that he "lied" about the data but a british court has ruled that he made one hell of a lot of dumb mistakes all on his own. he did not present the data out there correctly in most cases.. he misquoted some scientific work and it does appear that he exaggerated for agenda purposes.

It is his trademark in any case.

I consider it a lie when his lifestyle shows he doesn't practice what he preaches.

Public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. (He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.) For someone rallying the planet to pursue a path of extreme personal sacrifice, Gore requires little from himself.

One could say the same about you, and everyone else on this forum. everyone is likely to be basised about something they believe in.

Did you read the posts afterward, putz?

It is hard to totally blast Fox when the other networks are doing the exact same thing. Only they are pushing the republican candidates they feel that the dems can easily beat.

However, I sure don't understand it about RP.

I'm running out of people to root for here. I like Huckabee but he is for bigger government, give-away programs for illegals etc.. So I can't vote for him. Julianie is for abortion. Can't vote for him either. Unsure about Mitt Romney. Can't vote democrat. They are always pushing for bigger Gov't and larger taxes. Haven't seen or heard of a decent democrat since Kennedy. He was actually a fiscal conservative.

Putz?

LOL...

You post an ignorant rebuttal and I'm a putz cause I'm not the 1st to point it out?

Funny. You never recanted it by the way. You went right along with your nonexistant point using your nonexistant evidence. But Oh yea, I meant Kucinich! LOL...

Paul FINALLY gets some publicity.... (not good, however) I don't much many of these purported statements of his to be unrealistic

I like this one:

Quote

“The cause of the riots is plain: barbarism. If the barbarians cannot loot sufficiently through legal channels (i.e., the riots being the welfare-state minus the middleman), they resort to illegal ones, to terrorism.”

Fox News had a set deal for what was required to get asked to the debate...

10 percent avaerage of the national polls according to a polling source....Political something or another...cant remember the name...

At any rate RP didn't have 10 percent in the national polls average and therfore was not invited.

I watched both the ABC and Fox debates.....AFter seeing what Paul had to say..and giving him his due...I see why he doesn't have the 10 percent.

Much ado about nothing as always. Unless your an RP fan.

Edit....

Btw....since RP is NOT a republican per se'...why haven't the Dems invited him? Just wondering.
