Pete,  Neither party speaks to me so I tend to doubt everything from both
sides.  That includes posts from list members. Brad and Ed made a claim that
the media buried the story...I took the time to check and could find nothing
to support their viewpoint. Just because your read something in your
"in-box' doesn't make it true! It is amazing how many folks believe
something off a blog/news without taking the time to check facts.

Both sides claim media bias and they are right. The truth is out
there.....you just need to look.

Hey how about C. Powell endorsing Obama! I didn't know he was a
Marxist/socialist freedom hater!! ::-)

Fair winds,

Wally
