I am afraid that we have reached a point where the Republicans have made doublespeak completely accepted, even by the MSM.

McCain engages in it all the time, and he does not get challenged. Look at how, on a daily basis, he now attacks, and blames Senator Obama, and in the very next breath, says stuff such as: now is not the time to engage in the blame game.


The one that annoys me the most is the weak fact checking that the media engages in. They are always swathing at gnats, while giving the hornets free passage.

Take for example Sarah Palin's debate statement  about if global warming is being caused by mankind's activities. The gist of what she said was, she did not know, and that it could be attributed to natural cyclical climate changes.

She then went on to talk up how we have to reduce carbon emissions, and get to the point of using clean green energy, that will greatly reduce mankind's carbon footprint on the planet. She did not put it in those exact words. but that is what she was calling for.

Here is where the Media BS detector should have gone off, but did not.

If Sarah Palin does not know, or fully agree, that global warming is caused by mankind's activities, then why is she laying out a plan to greatly curtail those activities.

Do you see what I mean. If you go to the Doctor, and he tells you that you do not have an infection, and he then writes you a bunch of prescriptions to suppress the infection, that he said you do not have, wouldn't you call him out.

Of course you would. Did you hear Gwen Ifill ,or any of the horde of post debate analysts, do so?
Sarah Palin does not fully believe that burning coal causes global warming, but she wants to stop burning coal so that we can reduce global warming. That is her position, and yet none of the chattering class have said; Huh?
