Bob; you post a lot of things here and say that you are concerned about 
them, but you don't seem to verify that they are true or a reasonable 
interpretation of the facts. There are SO many distortions in the media.

I ALWAYS look at the original video or quote to see what the person 
really said. Pick a story and read about it in several different 
websites...Washington Post, CNN, Fox, NY Times, and Alternet, for 
example. You can't even tell they are talking about the same incident or 
sound bite. I form my own judgment by looking at the facts, and keep 
track of the media that I feel distorts things. In this case, I watched 
the same video as the NYPost, and I didn't see anything about "taking 
the profits of small businesses". They completely made that up. It's 
getting to be time to stop watching/reading the news until after the 
election. It's only going to get worse.

By the way, I had a great fight on the phone last night with some one 
from the Obama campaign. They assumed I'd be voting for Obama, since I'm 
registered as a Democrat. They were flabbergasted that I don't vote 
'party', but vote for the candidate I like best. They were even more 
flabbergasted when I mentioned Ron Paul....wish I could have seen her face.
