Did I at any timesay that I was a liberal?  How do you know that I am a
liberal?  Can you say for sure that I am a Liberal?  Do you know who I have
voted for?  What policies I have supported?  What philosophy of politics I
fould?  

You don't know anying about my politics,  and yet you conclude that I am a
Liberal,  why?  because I dislike George Herbert Hoover Bush.  


That is my point,  if you want to see the greatest sourse of bias,  the
greatest skewer of information Stevies I Wonder,  look at your own
reflection in the monitor screen.

What censurship,  I learned that Clinton had been booed on the front page
of the Chicago Tribune.  I didn't even have to buy the paper I read the
article at the groocer.  I know that he had a very negative response,  I
know that a plane flew over head with a anti-Clinton sign on it.  

But somehow I have been biased, says Stevie I Wonder,  why because I did
not "hear" the boos.  That I will be better informed if I know just how
loud the boos are.  Because I did not hear the boos, if there is a tape of
them which I don't know,  then I can not comprehend the news situation.

This failure of the media to give everyone a recording of the boos
constitutes censurship and bias?   

Ofcourse in the article there is no report of how loud the boos were,  just
that Clinton was booed.  It was entirely factual,  how was it "blown out of
proportion".

And you also assert that the present situation is biased towards the
Democratic side and that the press should change its reporting to favor
Bush more?

Here a better one,  in Germay there is a group of 5 called the Illuminati
and there goal is to take over the world.  Really they have been secertly
pushing thier puppet David Duke and in reality David Duke leads both Bush
and Clinton 3 to 1.  the problem is that no one knows that they will vote
for David Duke because they have been programmed to support David Duke
without being aware of it.  So the Illuminati is also carrying on this joke
of an election to keep us unaware that David Duke is about to grab control.

Once again around and around.  What is the proof that the election polls
that are being published at this time a biased?
