The history of this nation is built on old white men stepping on minorities (women, people of color) to claim positions of power, to claim the privilege of holding the keys to every door of opportunity available, to create a situation in which "competence" is measured by standards that they themselves create. An old white man does not know the feel of a door being slammed in his face the way a black man does. He does not know the glass ceiling that women still press up against. A competent democracy would truly hear the voices of all of its citizens. Building a government that reflects those voices is critical to assuring that we truly are a nation "of the people, for the people, and by the people," in which "all men are created equal."

You can (and have) boil this down to "Dems are stupid", but that misses the broader argument. In fact, you use the Iraq-9/11 connection (or lack thereof) to bolster your argument, but you seem to miss that this is exactly Ziegler's point. In 2002, I'll bet you were a Bush lover (or were you outside that 90% of supporters?), but even if you weren't, the fact remains that many felt (and feel) that the media didn't do enough to vet these stories. Ziegler's point is merely that (and yes, I know his conservative background and I agree that had McCain won under similar circumstances, Ziegler would not have made the opposite point). But your quick desire to call this "Obama Voters Are Dumbasses" misses all that. I thought the point was that the media didn’t “share” with the public both sides of the argument.

Instead of 82.6% of Obama voters not knowing he won his first election by getting his opponents kicked off the ballot, what do you think is the actual percentage of Obama voters that did not know this under-reported fact?

What a paradigm, beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth. I am earnestly praying for you, and believing for the best success in Alaska, which is too cold for me, but your love warms it up. God has a plan, and God’s Word does not return void. Thank you for showing us your heart. Thanks to John McCain who put country first, and gave us you, Sarah. How good is that, you bet, ya! Sarah for President! Always grateful for America, the land of the free and the brave. Comment by LJ — November 7, 2008 @ 5:19 pm Sarah:
