Strange how every other similar poll is showing pretty much the same results and yet the liberals and assorted other obamatrons still keep clinging to their baseless accusations of racism and a republican effort to bring him down

Typical radical tactic.....keep repeating it and people might actually start to believe it

The ONLY issue of color that I have involves the color green and the color red.

• The spending that Congress is partaking in is burdening our present and future economic well-being with a crushing, unsustainable load that is being handed down to generations not yet born;[/*:m:6ils5opf]
• Our currency is becoming worthless as the US Treasury prints money for the Federal Reserve like it's going out of style to sustain on paper this policy of economic suicide. This means that inflation will be rearing its ugly head in a matter of time;[/*:m:6ils5opf]
• The Communist Chinese are beginning to balk at buying any more of our debt in any significant manner, which means that our biggest creditor is essentially turning off the economic spigot when we need it the most;[/*:m:6ils5opf]
• Social Security, MedicAid, and Medicare are going bankrupt already, even as Congress seeks to broaden Health Care Coverage for millions of people. They can't manage the programs they already administer, yet insist on foisting a massively intrusive program upon an apprehensive American public;[/*:m:6ils5opf]
• All this, while promising (in very slippery, vague terms) that it won't cost anything more, and that, despite massively intruding into the business of private health care, we shouldn't notice any changes in our coverage if we already have it. They assure us that private insurance coverage will still be able to compete. Sure... Like a duck competes in a pond with an alligator...[/*:m:6ils5opf]

The one nugget that I enjoyed from the source of this poll, the OC Register, was the tacit admission that the so-called "Mainstream" Media has lost its stranglehold over the dissemination of information - news or otherwise.

And THAT is what lies at the bottom of the poll's question, in my opinion. The media would love nothing more than to spin it as nothing more than a bunch of redneck haters, but they're wondering why their effort to do so isn't working like it used to. In the quote above, they wouldn't even cede that race was a non-issue in the TEA Party and Citizens' Rebellion to a socialist agenda. They're stuck in their own media bubble. They're trying to do that hoo-doo that they used to do so well, but it's just not working like it used to and they're wondering why.

I saw an open letter to the "Mainstream" Media posted by a friend of a friend on Facebook that I found awesome. It explains, in part, why the "Mainstream" Media is green with envy that the new media outlets such as the Bloggers on the Internet, alternate news sources, entertainment sites, and others are making them red-faced and running out of money. Please take the time to read and comment upon this well-written, articulate, and prescient analysis of why we don't (and shouldn't) trust the MSM...

Hmm... on second thought, perhaps it is all about color after all... perhaps it's about the color YELLOW, which symbolizes the current crop of "Professional" Reporters. More likely, though, is that it's really all about red, white, and blue, the color of true American patriotism...
