I have no idea what election you are referring to. Since you mentioned Rodney King, I assume that you are in California. I will further assume that you are referring to the presidential election since the media has been trumpeting the fall of Bush in the polls. I am sure that warms you liberal little heart.

I hate to disappoint you but I am not a “Bushie”. I will admit that I voted for GWB, I had to hold my nose but I did it. The Democrats are their own worst enemy. The Democrats couldn’t pour enough perfume on John Kerry or Hillary Clinton to induce me to vote for either one. I will distill my thoughts on the two major parties and the last election down to two sentences.

The national Republicans represent the Right most 5-10% and national Democrats represent the Left most 5-10% of the population; the rest of us are screwed!

The last election was between a well-intentioned idiot and a socialist traitor.

Now to really put some “Spin” on your liberal little head. I probably could have voted for “Slick Willie” over GWB. His alley cat morals aside, I give him credit for knowing when to put a muzzle on the socialist, Hillary and take some direction from “the people”. To bad he didn’t have a little more backbone when it came to dealing with Usama.

As far as your statement “a picture is worth a thousand words”, I couldn’t agree more. The problem arises when the picture represents a distorted image of events. A picture shot of a single event that fully encompassing the surrounding environment can indeed be an accurate portrayal of the event. Unfortunately, what you have seen and heard about the “Great Bridge Incident” is nothing of the sort. NO single picture or person’s account of the event can possibly tell the complete story. You believe what you want to believe. Your liberal “filter” discards everything not in keeping with your pre-conceived worldview. The one indisputable difference between you and I is that I know several of the players in this drama. I fully realize that means nothing to you. Your filter discards anything I relate about the event as lies.

There is no help for you or anyone like you until you finally realize that everything you THINK you know isn’t necessarily the Whole Unbiased Truth.

If you think what you saw from Shep Smith was “the whole truth and nothing but the truth”, I have a bridge I want to sell you.

That old adage, “Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see” needs up dating after what I saw from good ole Shep. It should now read “Believe nothing of what you hear and only one tenth of what you see”. Even that may be a bit too generous.

I didn’t expect any better from Geraldo, but Shep Smith now resides right along side Geraldo on the unbiased, “whole truth” scale, somewhere below 0.

WHY didn’t those people get picked up, the ones on the bridge and in the convension center?? I can understand the other’s having to be rescued under those conditions, but I saw Shep TRY and talk to a Police officer and he got NOTHING out of the man, Shep, good thing I wasn’t with you, we’d of went straight to jail!

Do tyou think that Shep was acting? That man is REAl to the core of his heart! I felt for what HE and so many others had to SEE. AND WAIT… we have NO idea what is yet to come! I hope you spill your guts Shep, but most of all I pray your safe right now too. We’ll ALL be watching for you tomorrow!

I know you’re a REAL person and you don’t play things up… Thank God for people like you who report facts without beefing them up, it is bad enough. On another note, if anyone wants to see happy that is great, however remember, people, real people are suffering like we will never know. I hope we will never know.. some of us our suffering with them. We need never forget this, like 9-11.
Forget the blame? I don’t know. But FIX it so this never happens again? YES INDEED!
