Uh....YEAH.

"9 out of 10 doctors agree that flag burning is the number one killer of liberals."

Maybe not the "local" upstate reporters

They pretty much chewed her to pieces yesterday. But the national media....they can't get the stars out of their eyes.

JeffW... I Second

JeffW...

I Second everything you said here.

Nationally, a double standard indeed.

The msm is nothing but filled with their constant bias/hypocrisy.

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh

Although when they first

Although when they first tried to get to Caroline and she didn't answer questions, they did sound quite peevish. 

“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.” ~ Winston Churchill

not just against Sarah ...

but just as against Hillary. How anyone with common sense can ignore the fact, that conpliteli rookie witch is Hennedy clan another push for position in Senat is just a schame on DNC and the whole Democratic Party. Since known name is more important then experience. It is publicaly spitting against both woman as Hillary and Sarah. Not to long ego we were witnessing endless attack on those woman, for any reason. Dosens of reportes and spyes were fallowing Hillary and Sarah , starting especjally from;MoveOn,Progressive Radio with Ed Shultz on top of, CNN with Anderson360 or Campbell Brown,MSNBC,ABC. All those Media hienas, were after them, and Obama trash them himself, now Kennedy is good id great above all other candidates. This is discrace by DNC, I hope both those woman ;Hillary and Sarah will take adventage of this ugly situation!!! Obama has no experience,Kennedy at all, but  looks that they  are above all!!! I just hope that Mr.Peterson has much more common sense then those who are puishing for complitely inexperience Kennedy to be a part o USA Senat. What an such absurd we are witnessing!!!

ROFLMAO. First time I have

ROFLMAO. First time I have seen 100%. 

Ummm, does a bear s__t in the woods?

"Forget change, I want improvement!"

That 100% means even liberal lurkers here agree!

Some things are so obvious even KoolAid drinkers can see them - or maybe not.

 

 

Those who believe in nothing will believe anything.

The 5 who (so far) voted

The 5 who (so far) voted "no" - you can get back on the bus now....sheesh!

Picture the Abode

In the "minds" of our intrepid media the choice is simple.  The Castle in Camelot vs. the Igloo in Wasilla. 

The fantasy world in which these people live (and deliver news to the American public) is amazing to behold.

But

can you really blame Kennedy for not wanting the Senate seat in NY ?  Obama got in based on American Idol Mentality.  She's just jumping on the psychotic bandwagon.  If they're giving away free money in the streets, wouldn't you jump into the mix as well ?

Dont' get me wrong, it sucks. 

I have to agree

What better time to get to become a U.S. Senator than while half the country and all the MSM is still drunk on all the "stoopid" pills they have been taking. Great timing too, they just voted themselves a nice raise. That is exactly like the CEO's and their huge bonuses for running a business into the ground. "Screw everything up, hell, let's give ourselves a raise".

Poor Little Caroline

I felt sorry for her when her father was killed in Dallas. I felt sorry for her when she lost her mother and her brother. I do not feel sorry for the mess she has gotten herself into now.

Is Caroline Kennedy Schlossenfeffergurgerking the best a state the size of NY can do?

Apparently Baroness Caroline

Apparently Baroness Caroline Kennedy von Schlossberg is especially interested in the Public Schools.
 
And why not:
 
It's not as it she was raised by a Nanny, went to the most exclusive private schools money can buy, followed by an effortless entry into Ivy League colleges.
 
Or that her own children have followed the same path.
 
Oh wait a minute. That's exactly her experience.
 
Unlike that AWFUL Sarah Palin who actually had to pay her way through some god-awful state college. How terribly déclassé, Muffy.

Jack - Some days I ask if it's worth it for the rest of us to post anything.  There's no way we can top you.

thanks caring -- but that would be one boring thread with just me!  Very old, very quick. Even I wouldn't read it.

It's going to be a target rich environment for the next four years.

It is difficult to top the absurdity of reality. What's her campaign slogan going to be

Caroline Kennedy. Woman of the People.

We should have a Baroness Caroline Kennedy von Schlossberg campaign competition.

Isn't Versace a moosescent sold at Walmart's?

Crest & Seal

Perhaps one of our more artsy contributors could design a crest and seal for little Caroline.  It wouldn't take much to develop a display that's classier than the rostrum adornment used by the Office of the President Elect. 

How do you say "I AM ENTITLED AND YOU'RE NOT" in Latin?

Would that be the Office of

Would that be the Office of the Senator-Unelected

the seal should contain-a

the seal should contain-a fine picture of her Dad the best of fathers who never cheated on his wife. Started a war in Vietnam, left the Cuban Freedom fighters on the beach.one portion showing her Camelot mom rolling in the grease with a Greek Magnate on one of his yachts. Perfect!!!

 Oh forgot Grandpa's contribution to buying an election and moonshine running. and that part that show a perfect family history. the seal should depict all of that, or perhaps a bucket of $hit with $$$$$ would be a better reflection??

My immigrant grand parents were better Americans.

Even though I voted yes and

Even though I voted yes and it is, on the surface, an apparent double standard, it's not about applying a "standard" at all - it's all about politics and media liberal bias - the direct Kennedy name (no third cousin here) and the (D) trump everything.

LOL-This might be the most

LOL-This might be the most lop-sided result in the history of polls here at NB.

This nation is about to be brutally raped by the socialists, and the MSM will be a willing participant.

→ Maybe RD

But the Sweet 16 featuring Chris Matthews wasn't that close either.

  • LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

32% voted no?

I'm hoping that was sarcasm that led to No votes...

 

"to call an illegal immigrant an "undocumented alien" is the same as calling a streetcorner drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist".

"You spend your money anyway you want and respect other's rights to do the same"

Or in other words: DUH!

A year or so ago there was a consistent 16-17% who said, in media bias polls, that the media is biased in favor of the RIGHT!  That at the time was beyond my personal experience or understanding.  It would be reassuring if I could conclude from the results of this poll that that crowd has dwindled to 1%, who are voting "No."

Also it would be interesting to plumb the thinking, if any, of the 6 who voted “Unsure.” 

Impunitas semper ad deteriora invitat.

This is beyond double standard

THIS IS HYPOCRISY!  What else would one expect with the corporate fascist media?!  In no mood dealing with the left...nasty cold, and the weather too for all you global warming conspiracy theorists--the 37 of you who voted no to the question.

 

 

For the record, I am NOT RECOGNIZING BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ODINGA AS
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!  I would like to become part of a
secession front!

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is Not Pollution

What I think is amazing is

What I think is amazing is that these two senators (Illinois and NY) are automatically going to have to be Democrats...just taken for granted in other words.

I understand that if the governors of these respective states were Republicans, then we could expect the same.  The difference is that the MSM would then be crying foul and pointing out that there are many Democrats who could fill those seats and that Republicans shouldn't be so damn partisan. 

 

One of the 24% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 89% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
