"They own the media, fool." So Dave, you're claiming these giant corporations that OWN our media are all LEFTISTS? Socialists? en.wikipedia.org "Disney, "New" Viacom (and its former parent CBS Corporation, the former "Old" Viacom), TimeWarner, News Corporation, Bertelsmann AG, and General Electric together own more than 90% of the media holdings in the United States." There, there now.. When you're a little emotionally older, you'll be able to admit that your team lost because your team did a lousy job, almost financially destroyed America and just sucks.

What a pathetic excuse-wielding baby you've revealed yourself to be. An unknown Governor from Arkansas was able to cause a recession 2 1/2 years before the election while the President of the United States (who was talking up the economy) was powerless? How stupid are you? And when it's not the liberals, it's the media. And you pretend to deal in facts? In reality? What a joke. More laughable still, here's President Bush on the financial meltdown: "Now, obviously these are very difficult economic times. When people analyze the situation, there will be -- this problem started before my presidency, it obviously took place during my presidency. The question facing a President is not when the problem started, but what did you do about it when you recognized the problem. And I readily concede I chunked aside some of my free market principles when I was told by [my] chief economic advisors that the situation we were facing could be worse than the Great Depression. "So I've told some of my friends who said -- you know, who have taken an ideological position on this issue -- why did you do what you did? I said, well, if you were sitting there and heard that the depression could be greater than the Great Depression, I hope you would act too, which I did. And we've taken extraordinary measures to deal with the frozen credit markets, which have affected the economy." So Bush caused the markets to go down by saying this could be worse than the Great Depression, right? You've always been pathetic, but lately you've taken it down a notch... SD
