      <description>How many Democrats are running ads saying they voted for ObamaCare

Here's what Politico is reporting:

    A handful of House Democrats are making health care reform an election year issue - by running against it.

    At least five of the 34 House Democrats who voted against their party's health care reform bill are highlighting their "no" votes in ads back home. By contrast, party officials in Washington can't identify a single House member who's running an ad boasting of a "yes" vote - despite the fact that 219 House Democrats voted in favor of final passage in March.

    One Democratic strategist said it would be "political malfeasance" to run such an ad now.</description>

      <description>Curiously, I Googled it to see what I'd find.  lol.  I'm in GOOD company!

"Bill O'reilly is nothing more than a pathetic homophobic racist pig,"
"Jon Voight is a homophobic, racist pig ..."

Instead of engaging on the issues, this is so typical of the liberal left.  I know why they don't engage on the issues:  They have no case.  That's why we rarely see that sort of engagement here.  Most liberals who post here NEVER make a case for any liberal position.  I'd love to see a rational defense of Obama's spending or of the enormous health care bill.  Not even those who voted for that monster will defend it publicly.   hmmmm, now what does that tell you?</description>

When liberals have no argument, they resort to calling names.

Against Obama?   You're a racist.
Make fun of Obama?   You're a racist.
Against illegal's coming into this country and want it stopped?   You're a racist.
Want illegals deported?   You're a racist.
Think entitlements perpetuate the cycle of poverty and want to see some major changes to welfare?  You're a racist.
Think marriage should only be defined between a man and a woman?  You're a homophobe.
Think abortion is wrong because you consider it taking the life of an innocent human being?  You're an oppressor of women.  

and on it goes.   To those morons I say, bite me.  </description>

      <description>Democrats asking voters to forget their record
Rick Moran
First, Democrats started running away from Obama. Then they started running against their own Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Now, they're running away from their record.

    The candidate was outraged - just outraged - at the country's sorry fiscal state.

    "We have managed to acquire $13 trillion of debt on our balance sheet," he fumed to a roomful of voters. "In my view, we have nothing to show for it."

    And that was a Democrat, Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado, who voted "yes" on the stimulus, the health-care overhaul, increased education funding and other costly bills Congress approved under his party's control.

    Faced with a potential wipeout in November's midterm elections, candidates such as Bennet are embracing budget cuts with the enthusiasm of Reagan Republicans.</description>

      <description>BBC Director General Mark Thompson has admitted the corporation was guilty of a 'massive' Left-wing bias in the past. The TV chief also admitted there had been a 'struggle' to achieve impartiality and that staff were ' mystified' by the early years of Margaret Thatcher's government.

But he claimed there was now 'much less overt tribalism' among the current crop of young journalists, and said in recent times the corporation was a 'broader church'.

He claimed there was now an 'honourable tradition of journalists from the right' working for the corporation.

.........Speaking of the time when he joined the BBC, Mr Thompson told the magazine: 'In the BBC I joined 30 years ago [as a production trainee, in 1979] there was, in much of current affairs, in terms of people's personal politics, which were quite vocal, a massive bias to the Left.

'The organisation did struggle then with impartiality. And journalistically, staff were quite mystified by the early years of Thatcher.

'Now it is a completely different generation.

Good to see the raw report rather than some right wing extortion. </description>

      <description>BBC Chief Admits 'Massive' Left-wing Bias, Vows to Remedy Imbalance&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;from NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias &amp;lt;span&amp;gt;by &amp;lt;span&amp;gt;Lachlan MarkayBBC
 Director General Mark Thompson admitted to the UK Daily Mail in an 
article today that Britain's state-run news outlet has had a "massive" 
left-wing bias. He insisted, though, that the network is taking steps to
 remedy the ideological slant.
BBC has a history of promoting the ultra-leftist agenda on most 
issues. But to see the channel's top dog admit it in an interview with 
the Daily Mail was quite a sight.
Now if only some television outlets on this side of the pond would do the same.</description>

      <description>(V): There is prejudice everywhere. In every political party. Prejudice against any possible classification/group. 

I guess I just get sick of either side sounding like the other side has exclusively done it.</description>

      <description>rod03801: Sometimes a movement will take on someone to try and show they are nice guys. It is often called a token character. Such was a popular concept when it came to films/tv even though the politics of the time were still predujiced against that character.</description>
