sheeats Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Well there was a time when blacks and women couldn't vote... would you like to return to those times? I like allowing everyone to vote... I know some people don't know who or what they are voting for but most do. ...you sure about that? Have you seen Jaywalking on Leno? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barracuda Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 ...you sure about that? Have you seen Jaywalking on Leno? I'm never quite sure if the people in these bits are really clueless or if they're purposefully acting that way to be on radio or TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sifuwong Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 You know what i like to see in restaurants all around the country. I think it would be fun though unscientific. Maybe they should do it in Houston though it would probably be a clear choice for McCain. I would like to see popular restaurants rename their popular dishes called 'McCain.....' or 'Obama....' for the next week or so. Each restaurant would post their results of how many ordered the 'McCain' or 'Obama' at the end of the week. I want to see something other than polls from the media.

memebag Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Well there was a time when blacks and women couldn't vote... would you like to return to those times?Where did you get that? A basic test of knowledge of current events and issues wouldn't exclude anyone by race or gender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJones Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Where did you get that? A basic test of knowledge of current events and issues wouldn't exclude anyone by race or gender.Just to be fair. If Murtha had his way, people in the Western half of Pennsylvania wouldn't be able to vote, as they are apparently "Rednecks" and Obama would stand a better chance. ;)dn't work oI would agree with you 100%, but they tried to have a litmus test back in the 50's. Somebody here posted it before. The test didn't work out to well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's an ingredient I don't like, I skip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example some people will order a candidate to show their support, some will order to show their disapproval. You know like 'I just chewed Obama up'.

TJones Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 The restaurant could have an "Obama pulled pork sandwich" but the media would undoubtedly throw a "Muslim" twist on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's an ingredient I don't like, I skip it.What if that 'McCain...' or 'Obama...' dish was one of your favorite dishes you typically order when you frequent that restaurant ?Still won't work. For example some people will order a candidate to show their support, some will order to show their disapproval. You know like 'I just chewed Obama up'.I guess the restaurant will have to put up something like show your approval of candidate by ordering his dish of the week.

dbigtex56 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 There's little doubt the mainstream media is very biased. I think that's evident just in the fact that they have spent more time investigating Joe the Plumber than they have William Ayers or ACORN. Not a suprise since everything comes from NYC and California. Then how come Joe the Plumber's gender reassignment surgery hasn't been more widely reported? Talk about installing pipe....

I have politically extreme friends on both the left and right who moan endlessly about bias, although of course about bias in opposite directions. It is just so bogus.

I see MSNBC as highly liberal, and Fox News to be highly conservative, and I consider both to be mainstream. CNN is closer to bi-partisanship than the other two. Then there's ABC, NBC, and CBS evening news. They're not partisan like cable news; they're just more sugar-coated and condensed, thus more people are turning to cable anyway. And Face The Nation, This Week, and Meet The Press are pretty good at asking the tough questions to everyone that goes on their shows because their gimmick is just to try to raise hell with "gotcha" questions to whoever's in power because they want to be known as the show that made that moment possible.Then there's talk-radio. I see that as heavily conservative than liberal. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc. get mad play there. Then when you turn to satelite radio, perhaps you may hear a liberal channel or two added to the mix.Long-story short, there's enough liberal and conservative media out there for anyone and everyone to flip the channel like I do and hear both sides of the story. To turn my television from a partisan to a bipartisan media outlet, I simply use my remote control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
