This is the first diary that I've written in over four years. Could you help me point out to CNN and Politico that Romney did say, "Let Detroit go bankrupt"? After the vice-presidential debate, those two news outlets were quick to rate Biden's charge that Mittens wanted to let Detroit go bankrupt as false. As they put it, Romney authored an op-ed, but it was the editors of the New York Times (those liberal bastards) who decided to title it "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt". The only problem with that is that Romney DID say, "Let Detroit go bankrupt." In fact, he preceded his statement with, "That's exactly what I said." It was in an interview on one of the networks, and it's even in this Obama ad (45 seconds mark): http://www.youtube.com/...

Could you please join me and email CNN and Politico to point this out to them?

Another short diary. Jack Cafferty castigated Huckabee for the appalling joke he made about Obama being shot. Once again, Jack was blunt in asserting what he thought of Hackabee.

Wow, sorry for the short diary. But I am watching Chris Mathews right now, and that tool James Kevin is being handed his a** by Chris. He's only shouting loudly.

Sorry, for the short diary. Not only do i not know how to write a fancy diary with the fancy quotation method, but am too lazy to actually write a lengthy diary after just getting done with finals at school. But I'd like to know what you guys' take is on McCain not voting for Bush. Somebody could also write a lengthier and better and fancier diary on the topic as well.

I have always thought that being good citizen-leaders is something that could only benefit this country that we all love. In light of recent developments, I have been positively surprised to find that there may be more citizen-leaders out there than I have previously thought. Thomas E. Cronin wrote that "we shall know we are making progress not when we can boast we are a nation in need of those larger-than-life great leaders because we have become a nation of citizens who believe that one person can make a difference and every person should regularly try." I will examine two recent articles from the New York Times that fit in the argument I have been making. One of the article is about the uproar that emerged from the Thursday democratic debate—characterized by Washington Post’s Tom Shales as “shoddy and despicable”—over the lack of substance and obvious bias against Senator Obama, while the other treats of the unprecedented newfound interest that grade school students have for politics.
