Of late, I've been reading more of the right's media. No, its not a form of self punishment but rather a periodic check of what's au courant. The article below is an example of how you all are mislead by your media. The Never-Ending Gubernatorial Race nationalreview.com The author slips in enough truths and half truths to appear to be doing an honest story. However, intermixed with those truths and half truths are his own opinions passed off as facts: Opinion 1: A majority of WA state were in favor of having the election redone. Huh? A new election would cost the state $4 million....thanks to the Bush recession, state revenue is just now recovering..........balancing the state budget for the past 4 years has been hell. Why would voters want to have a new election when the vote was so close? Its total nonsense. A majority did not want a new election. Opinion 2: The state is a worse voting travesty than FLA 2000. I don't think so! The state is talking about erroneously-counted and misplaced ballots in the tens and hundreds, not the tens and hundreds of thousands of a FLA. Nor was there a hanging chad issue. Opinion 3: With the voting miscounts discovered by the GOP, Rossi would have won. Nonsense! Using the GOP's own standards, the Seattle Times who endorsed Rossi in the race concluded that Rossi would not have won any which way the votes were counted. Opinion 4: There was voter fraud. Right! Not once has there been any indication of voter fraud. Its a recurring fantasy of Vance, the head of the state's GOP....and that's all it is, his fantasy. Those are just four of the pieces of info in the article that were not presented truthfully. There are more. How can you all get a straight picture of the world if you are fed BS. Of course, you can't.......that's why some of you still believe that there were WMDs in Iraq. And you want us to let you lead. I don't think so!
