Gallup has just confirmed what many of us have known all along. One of America’s largest polling firms has released the results of a survey dealing with people’s trust of the media. Its findings should be of great concern to the Democrat Media Cheer Leaders but it won’t be. They are too busy lying to worry about we think of them. Nevertheless, Gallup says that essentially 60% of us don’t trust the media,while just 40% do.
This negative/positive split is the largest Gallup has ever found. Of course the Democrats trust the media at 58% and why not, they are on the same team and the media tells them the lies they live by. But neatly tucked away in the report is an item that should make media heads explode! It tells us 61% of Independents don’t trust the media and considering that Independents are supporting Mitt Romney by about 15 points lying Barack Obama into someone the Independents can vote for is a tall order for the media.
Independents and Republicans’ trust in the media is down sharply even since 2008. These groups have good reason to mistrust the media because of the obvious oversampling of Democrats and undersampling of Republican in reported polls. The constant barrage of negative stories about Romney even when there is little or no “there there” adds to their mistrust. Positive stories about Romney or his campaign just don’t get mentioned.
A handy example of this kind of bias can be found in an NBC News website politics page online survey that gives Romney a clear edge. That story won’t make to the nightly news anytime soon.
An ongoing poll of its readers shows they favor Romney 38/30. Moreover those leaving comments about the candidates expressed negative feelings toward Obama by 60/40 and positive feelings toward Romney by 51/49. Obviously we don’t believe the Democrats media cheer leaders’ fake “feel good about Obama’s chances” stories and the barrage of hate against Romney isn’t swaying us.
In the 1980s Ronald Reagan had to deal with a solidly Democrat House and Senate but still managed to get things done because he knew he had the American people to help him overcome the media’s bias. There were few people getting their news from computers and no social media, yet people laughed at the “polls” showing Walter Mondale ahead of Reagan. We didn’t believe them then and we don’t believe them today. In November 1984 Reagan crushed Walter Mondale and the only surprised people were in America’s newsrooms. The indications are that this will happen again.

Don’t underestimate the tea party known as we the people. We are doing our homework and we know our power. We are working with what we have, to right America and though we are a little ragged and tired, this has been a cycle like non other – we won’t and haven’t quit. Our top priority is to get this man out of our office before he changes our country until there isn’t any hope left. We have been working in Congress and all local elections. We are not ignored any longer. We are many and we are strong, and the election isn’t the end of it. We will work with Romney, and anyone we have to get this country back to a working and free country. Nothing he has done can’t be undone and we will see to it. The spirit of America does not quit!
This will be a most surprising election, and hopefully the surprise won’t be on us. I pray.
“DITTO” !!
So, according to your staement, you wish to endorse a canidate who has already proven he has intention to further limit our 2nd Amendment Right; when he signed into law in 2004 for the state of Michigan; a ban on the ownership of ‘Assualt-Style Semi-Automatic Weapons’ and states that simply due to the fact combat pay is not federaly taxed, US service men in operation theaters are simply lazy and waiting for handouts.
This is not a question, as these two things ARE ACTUAL FACTS demonstrated by this canidate you claim is about the American spirit. This Marine simply would like to ask that you take off the white sheet, extinguish the burning cross you put on MY White House lawn, and understand the difference between the arguement of what someone states they ‘beleive’ is the truth, and what the ACTUAL FACTS prove is the truth. If the Tea Party is seriously ready to endorse Mitt Romeny, they have brought shame an insult to an act that defined our nation… and the people that insured their act would demonstrate the American peoples exhaustion of listeneing to BULLSH*T
All of us know that an AR-15 is no more capable of causing mass harm that my 30.06 hunting rifle with its custom 99 round banana clip, the only difference in the two at that point is PURELY cosmetic. Its apparent that our sitting president fels the same, as he has stated time and again he personally feels we have done everything to effectivly stop gun violence concerning our 2nd Amendment right.
You guys remind me of the girlie in the Sate Farm commercial where she claims they cant put anything on the internet that isnt true… are you really a french model in disguise?
Billary Clitman just signed the UN Small Arms Agreement which includes violation of the 2nd Amendment…what have you to say about that?
Billary Clinton doesn’t make laws. She does not amend the Constitution.
@DOUBLEAUGHTCODE I THINK YOU ARE MISS SPELLING THAT YOU ARE A MARINE,A MARINE WILL NOT STAND WITH ENEMIES OF THE U.S.THE MUSLIM WORLD IS AT WAR WITH ALL NON MUSLIM’S YOUR HERO IS A MUSLIM SO YOU MUST MEAN (AS A MUSLIM ) NOT AS A MARINE, I AM A COMBAT VET AND TOOK THE OATH TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION FROM ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC SIR WE HAVE A DOMESTIC THREAT IN OFFICE NOW SO DON’T DISHONOR THE CORP AND ALL THE MARINES THAT HAVE DIED FIGHTING FOR THIS COUNTRY DID MY TWO TOURS IN VIETNAM ON UH1/C GUN SHIP
He’s definitely misrepresenting, I’ve never heard a Marine call a magazine a “banana clip” nor have I ever seen one of those fancy 99 round “banana clip(s)”.
While it is heartening to read an encouraging article about Mitt Romney’s chances of victory in November, I am still very reluctant to “bet the farm” on the outcome. The woes for our Republic in the event of an Obama re-election just cannot be understated!
I believe, as so many liberal do when they simply lie, that DoubleAught is “mis-speaking”. I find it hard for a real Marine to have that state of mind and be so blind as to believe what the liberal media tells him without doing his own investigation. I for one, don’t think he’s come near a Marine Base and for another, if he had then would know they Improvise, Adapt and Overcome…………not simply believe what is spoon fed to them by a media with an agenda to have a miserable excuse for a president re-elected.
In 1994 when the American people stood up to the Clintons and the very secretively planned Hillarycare and gave the Republicans (oh, how they squandered this victory) the House and Senate to make Bill’s ultimate plans unviable, Tom Brokaw came on camera, ridiculed and belittled the voters by declaring that we had just had a “temper tantrum.” I pray to God that the voters can give the Democrat cheerleaders in the press and the MSM another opportunity to experience one of our “temper tantrums.”
The “silent majority” doesn’t have temper tantrums like the Democrats do. The Democrats are like babies who have temper tantrums when they don’t get their way and they lie, lie and lie some more to impose their sick way of life on Americans. The “silent majority” is “mad as hell and they are not gonna take it any more.” This IS not a temper tantrum. This IS the true adults of America who are gonna take control of this country by throwing the Democrat “children” out and replacing them with ADULTS. Let adults take over and solve America’s problems. Put the “children,” who refuse to grow up, in time out forever — out of DC and out of our government.
We are not silent. Thanks to social media the “vast right wing conspiracy” is alive and well. Facebook is the slow news channel. Twitter is fast and contains a wealth of info. I would encourage anyone not on twitter to get on. Unlike FB, twitter doesn’t reveal who’s logged on so you remain anonymous. If you feel intimidated just create an account and observe the tweets. Search for like-minded conservatives whose point of view you agree with and read their tweets. Find out who they follow. Join the conversation!
