Jon Stewart does Glenn Beck, and yeah, it was funnier than hell

Thank you for further proving my point… You remain unable to admit that the Rights are just as full of disingenuous information as any Left-wing commentator you feel like typing back to me in all-caps. Just more ill-contemplated accusations and a general skirting of any issues I’ve risen. Well, in keeping with our little debate theme, if you’re so confident on the matter despite all those “same documents” you’ve read (hadn’t realized I’d given you the list), then you can surely trace the validity of much of your information and political positions farther back than the word of those pundits you continue to defend (on a website called “ihatethemedia” no less) or my own unreliable interpretation of what you seem to be implying is an unaltered health bill…?

So do it. What exactly is this unerring source you get your information from that’s so much more reliable than the actual legislation and congressional hearings on the matters? Any overview on any program certainly won’t cut it when you consider that the nature of the credibility in the sources you contest over any network/chainmail/webpage lies in them alone having ALL the details included and therefore only being suspect to the interpretations and ethics of the reader – and not the spread of false facts. It’s pretty easy with that knowledge to conclude how much BS makes its way into all your favorite shows. Really though, convince me otherwise PLEASE. I’d love nothing more than to believe that all these politicians and their ball-cradlers aren’t just out to get their own regardless of affiliation, but I’m just a bit too aware to be able to assume that anything that humane occurs…

And it gets worse. My switch to the Democratic Party is anything but an act to ridicule as the Admin seems to think. It’s more a sad realization that I’d like to see disproven. It came just this election and was due to a severe lack of performance ability on the part of the Reps, a newfound transparency of the lies all these networks spread to keep their pockets heavy (and not just CNN and MSNBC), and a desire for a return of true small government with intelligent regulation rather than a continuation of false small government with increasing private restriction. I was actually pretty embarrased once I’d realized the extent of the duping I’d recieved.

McCain’s done plenty before this and is a decorated war veteran, but his information was vague and often not completely true (like the whole abortion bill Obama refused – conveniently left out that it was because it was reiterating legislation already in existence and adding a bunch of selfish earmarks he refused to support. Obama even says this in a debate, but of course I doubt anyone listened. After all, he was the only liar on the campaign trail, right?), his plans for action were almost non-existent, and his strategy was based around his propogated image as an oxymoron… er, maverick conservative… and extremely frequent use of half-truths to slander his opponent rather than to offer legitimate proposals of progression and iad. Or honest rebuttals in debate, which he didn’t do well at in the beginning and it gave him an even worse reputation amongst fact-seekers. Plus, few public figures supported the Reps anymore because of their assumptions about the Bush admin, so everybody that didn’t know what they’re doing fell in automatically with that crowd against him, and that made the creation of such public indecencies all the more appetizing.

But they messed up and got caught too often trying to lands hits on a very intelligent opponent, and then I started to see all the lies pile up, expecially post-election. Expected, I admit, but not to this degree – it’s been a year now and I haven’t seen an end to it. When one lie gets proven false, the next one is accepted as whole-heartedly as if it hadn’t happened dozens of times before, like a dog headed straight back to the hole it got it’s last snakebite from. That’s what makes it so unbearable to have to watch, seeing these nice people with good intentions be tricked to agree, for no reason beyond agreeing, with those decieving hosts and then without any hin of evidence themselves proclaim my own ineptitude as I give more and more proof of why they might reconsider such staunch and unrelenting stances, as we’ve repeatedly seen happen to me here.

I hate politicians, be they conservative, moderate, or liberal, and the media even more as they’re the decieving left arm of such dangerous games. I’ve just got enough factual information under my belt now to recognize the lies as they’re reported, and treating every bit of information as equally suspicious as if I did know it was false helps make the learning process much more authentic. And trust me, once all is said and done, the sifted facts are just far greater on “liberal” networks these days, not because they’re any better than anybody else (or because I’m always right and you’re always wrong in our political convictions), but simply because they have no reason to lie right now – they’re getting what they want for now.

So stop nagging me over these trivial issues of hurt feelings and defensive obligations, and get the big picture I keep eluding to – that neither I not you should trust any of them. ANY of them. It’s why I’m challenging you to get facts and post them to me… Prove me wrong, right, whatever; just do some good research or don’t tamper with the national situation by contributing an uninformed vote. They’re all assholes out to get the dough and could care less how it effects you, me, the economy, or anything else considered in whatever skeleton of a moral hesitation they experience.
