Although I am (according to many in my family) a bit liberal when it comes to ideas on Health Care (I favor a system such as Denmark's) I do not adhere to President Obama's ideas on Health Care to date.
I also find it rather disturbing that the mainline media is so willing to bypass any and all regular programming in favor of providing the president a platform to push his agenda. The scary thing is that it seems to be to an unprecedented level...I do not recall the television networks ever giving ANY president the level of support that Obama is currently enjoying.
Also, although I am NOT a Republican, I agree with Republican National Committee Chairman, Michael Steele when he says:
“The liberal special interests have clearly learned from their missteps the last time they tried to force Americans into a socialized health care system — the abysmal failure of the Clinton Administration's ‘HillaryCare,’” ... “That's why their friends at ABC News will be promoting Obamacare at virtually every opportunity, from ‘Good Morning America’ to ‘Nightline,’ and reach from ABC News' websites all the way to the White House's East Room.”
What is more disturbing, is that it doesn't seem that those who adhere to the idea that Talk Radio needs a "Fairness Doctrine" believe the same thing when it comes to television. ABC has rejected the RNC's request to air their alternate views of the president's June 24th townhall meeting which will air on ABC in its entirety.
What's good for the goose doesn't seem to be good for the gander. And Hypocricy on the Left definitely seems to rule the day.
