Keith. The Washington Post is regarded among the leading daily newspapers of the USA. The Wall Street Journal is part of the company, and its former editor Marcus Brauchi the new editor of the Washington Post.
"Watergate" comes to mind! So why the paranoia about "Leftwing"!!

Cuphandle “battling against time on a "Dial-up connection"”
We can all make excuses
To holidays, come around, I have 2 ½ hours of video we could go through from my last cruise, earlier this year (if that don’t shut you up, nothing will)

and if you want a rest so much, try phoning someone, then you will not be in a position to “dial up” and bore us here.

1 We are each responsible for bringing up our children in the manner we see fit.

2 Who are you to criticize how someone you have never met should manage their family and parenting matters?

3 You certainly lack knowledge of the role of “God” in the American culture, otherwise you would not need to make such banal comments and certainly, when I recall the Godless swill who raped the Soviet Union for 70 years, I can only feel a comfort from the fact that USA holds itself to a higher standard than the dogmatic atheists.

4 She and I would disagree on rape victims, so what, it is not something which is going to influence Australian / US relations.. where does Obama stand on the matter?

5 and 6 Reads like the silly dross of some anti-republican conspiracy website (put together by a prepubescent geek with pimples).

7 we need to get oil from somewhere, no where is more “special” than anywhere else, except in the minds of those driven by emotional subjectivity.

8 somehow, I can see no one having an “emotional bond” to a hydro-carbon and getting up close to a nuclear reactor is not good for pregnant women… more plain silliness

9 Being a US Mayor means a real responsibility for the whole municipal process.

A "community activist" is like a grain of sand, which infiltrates a machine bearing, causing excessive wear and squeaking.

The Mayor, for the municipality, then employs a mechanic to strip down the bearing and replace the sand contaminated grease with new grease.

Hegehog (darn incompetence, I need to switch off the spell check),

whatever… talk to the hand

Col, how does one talk to the hand? I seek your expert advice on this matter. Where you nice to somebody yesterday? Imagine the global situation post November. Rudd, Obama and Brown. not a redneck in sight.

Anasi, SJF
I don’t think many males vote for politicians based on their gender (or their physical appearance).

But does Palin believe in Ritalin programs and the dumbing down of boys, the demonisation of fathers, the destruction of family, the denigration of males, the mass killing of the unborn and artificial reproduction, and in a welfare state (but only for women).

Seemingly not at this stage, and I think Palin will bring in a lot of male votes. A Marxist/feminist wouldn’t.

ColRouge:

It never stops does it? You carry on an argument (criticism) similar to a woman scorned!....You have to have the last word regardless of how pathetic it really is!

Who would want to view a 2.5 hour video of a cruise with you? I think it would be more interesting watching the grass grow!

Man, you must be bored excreteless to spend all your time tapping away at the keys all day!

I suppose it takes all types to make this world and we certainly have our share of weird ones like you!

Rainier

Is that one way air-ticket to the Old Dart, for the Parexocoetus brachypterus, still on offer?

I would be delighted to share the costs with you.

Runner

You state: "Are all lefties as deceitful as you?"

You should refrain from debating by deception Runner for I am not left, not right but forward.

You and your medieval God should consider likewise.
