Kill the Messengers

Douglas Chick -- TheNetworkAdministrator.comIn the mist of what seems like so many political sex scandals, I find it more than curious that The New York Times is being attack for running the John McCain sex / lobbyist scandal? Killing the messenger is a staple political response to getting caught with your “hands” in the cookie jar. If true, is this a case of being in a lobbyist’s pocket and pants? I wonder if the most successful lobbyist put out? After all, you don’t give up military secrets to frigid spies?  My questions are:

If a politician lies, should they be banded from holding any type of office, like convicted felons are to vote?

If a news organization prints false allegations that ruin people’s lives, should they be held financially accountable?

NY times took a year to get this published and this is the best they have? Absolutely no proof of any of this and it was nothing more than a smear tactic. NyTimes has a agendy and it is nothing more than a libtard one at that.

I think they set him up, so they can later drop the hammer. Or they are the slimballs that everyone is saying they are

If that were the case we wouldn't have any politicians.

I understand that. But, what does that say? One of my fav quotes sums it up:

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government..." ~ Declaration of Independence

Gee does quoting the DOI now make me a possible violent homegrown terrorist? My, how far we've stooped as a nation. Let us hope S1959 does not pass this summer.

Let us hope we get back to accountability in our elections so we have opportunity to vote out all those that need to be voted out on their bums.
