Whether or not it's newsworthy to those who are wondering if britney broke another nail is irrelivant. The media has a duty of sorts to report this sort of thng and they are failing.

Evidently you can get arrested just by wearing the wrong t-shirt to a Bush campaign stop.

Sorry, run a good campaign and raise the money to get media time the proper way. Don't break the law.

Combine these two with Nader, will they get near as many as Perot got?

If not, then they don't matter, it isn't news worthy

My conscience will be clear if either Bush drives this country to more war, or Kerry breaks the bank with his social programs.

First off, Cleetus has spoken so this thread should be closed because he is never wrong..... :eek2:

Second off, if this was Joe Bystander that had tried to break in the media would of covered it. I know, maybe they should of worn Kerry shirts when they did it, then it would of been covered :rolleyes:

Just like for most Democrats, our conscience was clear about Clinton lyiegn about the blow, there were more important things to get done, the right refused to let that happen.
