>>Read your post again Mike. It's like the women who says 'Some of you will just disregard my statements because I am a woman.' You already put the premise out there that anyone who would want to discuss it is either partisan or is not open minded. It's a typical democratic ploy and I'm dissappointed in you. You're starting to copy the pundits...

I read that article earlier. The only part I disagree with is that the media attention surrounding the 'lipstick on a pig' came after the mcCain campaign response, which it did not. The media jumped first during the speech itself which the media were covering.
