State of the Union--People Like George Bush

I saw a bit of the Bob Schieffer interview on CBS.
It was part of the big "SUPER SPIN-DR PREVIEW OF THE STATE OF THE UNION" effort to completely defeat anything the president says, and to give the news pundits the opportunity to say, "as we discussed last week" which means the President is proposing what I said.
The media has a problem, they don't like George Bush and their "peace, love, drugs" counter-culture. He's been there, and he knows he could have ended up in the morgue a broken man. And he reclaimed his life and became a success in life by embracing God and eternal principles. The media hate that. They promote the most common denominator. Look at the fight over Samuel Alito, because he might push the issue back to the states about abortion. Is it so important to "find a constitutional" right to allow abortions, or is that the only way to prevent news anchors and sports heroes from having to financially support their children.
But I digress.
It's really a sad state of affairs for the media today. They don't merely report, they use "unnamed sources" and "administration sources" without any backup and if you call them on it, they get defensive and then threaten you.
The First Amendment is a wonderful thing, but you can't license freedom, after all, look at gun control.
So, here we go, approval ratings dropping, the war continues, deficits and that darn Republican controlled Congress won't RAISE TAXES. You know of course, that if the President proposed increasing taxes instead of growing our way out of our financial crunch while fighting an international war, the main stream media won't hear of it.
This George remembers his father George. Yeah, it was the democrats who demanded he raise taxes or they wouldn't provide funds for a first gulf war. It destroyed his father's base of support.
If George W. Bush has learned one thing, he's learned that you have to keep those folks who like you liking you. He's not articulate, he's not a great public speaker, but he's more like us that the tongue wagging elites that make up the national democrat party.
That's what keeps him popular, and gives him strength because he believes like most Americans believe. We believe in God, and we support life and protecting our nation from terrorists.
You wonder where the other side is on that important fact.
