I have been so completely frustrated with the media bias during the election cycle, not following the basic definition of journalism: "Writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation", that I decided to make a small political comment on our blog...
When I visited Baghdad in the summer of 1990 (3 weeks before Saddam invaded Kuwait), it was very clear that Saddam was one sick dude, as all dictators are. However, I've never been a huge fan of the war in Iraq. With that said, the main stream media seems to be so completely invested in our defeat in Iraq that they are ignoring the amazing progress that has been made in the past 2 years because of the surge.

Iraq: What would happen if the U.S. won a war but the media didn't tell the American public? Apparently, we have to rely on a British newspaper for the news that we've defeated the last remnants of al-Qaida in Iraq.
I don't want to turn our blog into a political message board, however I do want to let you know that we are very excited about Congressman Ron Paul for President in 2008.
It's a breath of fresh air to have someone in politics who's voting record matches what he says he stands for and has espoused for many years (www.RonPaul2008.com). Dr. Paul is a dedicated defender of the United States Constitution and believes in Freedom, Prosperity & Peace.
Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record:
He has never voted to raise taxes. He has never voted for an unbalanced budget. He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership. He has never voted to raise congressional pay. He has never taken a government-paid junket. He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch. He voted against the Patriot Act. He voted against regulating the Internet. He voted against the Iraq war. He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program. He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year. Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.
He's not popular in the media, but he has a grassroots support network that is growing fast as more and more people hear what he stands for and learn that he is the real deal.
Do your own research. Come to your own conclusions. I think you'll like what you find out.
Yesterday, on the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, Ron Paul's campaign received over $6 million in a 24 hr period to protest the hidden Inflation Tax imposed on us. (www.teaparty07.com)
