The grandstanding is an abomination.<BR/>It should be easy to tell the difference between respectful probing of an issue and harassment. Too many of our congressmen the military is an enemy, except for a few photo-op on a holiday.Paul is a Hermithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11119019764545408730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-20492732875524149862008-05-25T23:14:00.000-06:002008-05-25T23:14:00.000-06:00Hey Karen, interestingly enough I read a different...Hey Karen, interestingly enough I read a different blog today that did exactly what you said. They stretched the truth or left out certain aspects of an issue. It was with regards to the new GI bill that Chuck Hagel is pushing. John McCain and Bush oppose the bill because it attached a troop withdrawl clause and enlisted insufficient financing to GI's. The spin was that Bush and McCain don't support our troops. It only too one google search to find the truth. <BR/>I hope you have a great holiday! Happy Memorial Day! All the Best...:)NNikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506161645223765063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-82827740733622716542008-05-25T18:06:00.000-06:002008-05-25T18:06:00.000-06:00Hey there wild woman!

I wish I could trust journalists and mainstream media. I'd rather spend my time on other things than cross-referencing the news, occasionally reading the actual bills, intell reports, etc. myself. I hate that. It's tedious, half of which I don't always understand, which is why I hunt for those I trust to lay out for me in layman's terms. It's pathetic when your breadth of knowledge regarding a particular issue is greater than that of a columnist/journalist. There's so much hogwash written, as well as spin, when it comes to such things as NSA Surveillance, PlameGate, al-Qaeda/Saddam connection, and on and on.The WordSmith from Nantuckethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15937868119894243815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-86535659955981028152008-05-24T19:16:00.000-06:002008-05-24T19:16:00.000-06:00karen, you do such a good job.
