In a “news report” found under the headline-”Spinners and Winners”, Jonathan Karl, Avery Miller, Richard Coolidge and Sherisse Pham are up to their now familiar –bias disguised as news– tricks.

The story, which includes ”contributions” from  ABC News’ Gregory Simmons Lemos, features such breaking news information as:

“An infusion of millions of dollars, unlike anything we have ever seen before may now be the single biggest force in American politics. Some of the players are well-known, such as conservative activist and former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a business interest group long active in politics.

This year, there are new players on the scene, so-called SuperPACs, that, unlike candidates or political parties, can accept an unlimited amount of money. For many of these groups who gives and why is a tightly-guarded secret.

“We can see the money going in, but it is very hard to follow what the political favors out are,” says Bill Allison of the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation. ‘I think that is the most concerning thing about all of this money going into the political process.’”

NOTE-The typos and incorrect grammar in the above quote are part of the original article.

In what is now a very familiar, oft repeated pattern of biased political slant and deception, this “news” report specifically names former President George W. Bush and his former adviser Karl Rove, commonly vilified as the worst type of criminals known to man within “progressive” circles in the first paragraph, but completely fails to ever mention the name of the biggest, long time financier of the institutionalized “progressive” left:

George Soros, who’s spent untold millions of his ill-gotten fortune funding such anti-American foundations as:  The Open Society Institute,  Human Rights Watch, the Shadow Democratic Party, Air America Radio (Now defunct, this was a self-identified “liberal” radio  network), Alliance for Justice (Best known for its activism vis a vis the appointment of federal judges, this group consistently depicts Republican judicial nominees as ”extremists”),  America Coming Together (Soros played a major role in creating this group, whose purpose was to coordinate and organize pro-Democrat voter-mobilization programs),  America Votes (Soros also played a major role in creating this group, whose get-out-the-vote campaigns targeted likely Democratic voters), America’s Voice (This open-borders group seeks to promote “comprehensive” immigration reform that includes a robust agenda in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens), American Bar Association Commission on Immigration Policy (This organization “opposes laws that require employers and persons providing education, health care, or other social services to verify citizenship or immigration status”), American Civil Liberties Union (This group opposes virtually all post-9/11 national security measures enacted by the U.S. government. It supports open borders, has rushed to the defense of suspected terrorists and their abettors, and appointed former New Left terrorist Bernardine Dohrn to its Advisory Board), American Constitution Society for Law and Policy (This Washington, DC-based think tank seeks to move American jurisprudence to the left by recruiting, indoctrinating, and mobilizing young law students, helping them acquire positions of power. It also provides leftist Democrats with a bully pulpit from which to denounce their political adversaries), American Family Voices (This group creates and coordinates media campaigns charging Republicans with wrongdoing), American Federation of Teachers (After longtime AFT President Albert Shanker died in in 1997, he was succeeded by Sandra Feldman, who slowly “re-branded” the union, allying it with some of the most powerful left-wing elements of the New Labor Movement. When Feldman died in 2004, Edward McElroy took her place, followed by Randi Weingarten in 2008. All of them kept the union on the leftward course it had adopted in its post-Shanker period), American Friends Service Committee (This group views the United States as the principal cause of human suffering around the world. As such, it favors America’s unilateral disarmament, the dissolution of American borders, amnesty for illegal aliens, the abolition of the death penalty, and the repeal of the Patriot Act), American Immigration Council (This non-profit organization is a prominent member of the open-borders lobby. It advocates expanded rights and amnesty for illegal aliens residing in the U.S.), American Immigration Law Foundation (This group supports amnesty for illegal aliens, on whose behalf it litigates against the U.S. government), American Institute for Social Justice (AISJ’s goal is to produce skilled community organizers who can “transform poor communities” by agitating for increased government spending on city services, drug interdiction, crime prevention, housing, public-sector jobs, access to healthcare, and public schools).

This is only a tiny few of the Soros funded foundations.  A much more comprehensive list can be found here: http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=1237

In yet another display of open bias and unadulterated misrepresentation, the “new report” refers to the Sunlight Foundation as nonpartisan.  The truth is, in 2011 the Sunlight Foundation received funding over $300,000.00 from Open Society Foundations as well as Open Society Institute, both of which are funded by George Soros.  They have also received funding from the Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Family Fund, Pew Charitable Trusts, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and Marc Cuban, as well as a plethora of other leftists and leftist organizations.

If Bill Allison is so concerned about “all of this money going into the political process”, he should first look at all the money that for decades has been going into the political process from promoters of the institutionalized “progressive” left.  He should man up and realize that politics is a two way street.

ABC News, Yahoo News, Jonathan Karl, Avery Miller, Richard Coolidge, Sherisse Pham, and Gregory Simmons Lemos, should either stop spinning and whining or put in an application to work for MSNBC and/or Media Matters.

Today I am seeing that the SAPs are increasing their ranks to include those with no integrity.

The new SAPs that come to mind are Republican defectors; Karl Rove, Ricky Perry, Jon Huntsman, most of the FOX opinion hosts pretending that they believe they are journalists, and the list goes on. It includes Democrat demagogues as well the “clever” Republicans. Sadly, the SAP is growing exponentially.

The one that really floored me is Ed Rollins. There was a time when I could consider him a standup guy. Not anymore! He recently bailed out on the Bachmann campaign due to health reason; he was just getting too old for that much intensity. Yet, in the last few days he has exerted more energy than he has in years…basically trash talking whom he once claimed to support.

Americans see this day after day, week after week, and month after month. They are tired of the cheap abandonment of integrity by their elected leaders. It seems as though nobody can be relied upon to have integrity anymore.

Integrity is not simply telling the truth, or being honest. Integrity is the integration of what you think, believe, say, and do. Americans (yea, even the world) know that elected pontiffs will scatter their professed principles in the winds of popularity. We don’t like!

The Say Anything Party has devastated the landscape of opportunity for the nation by fostering a bargain basement deal for their own satisfaction. Americans hate that!

What candidate can the populace look to for integrity, one who will integrate what they say and do with who they are? There are two Mormons in the Republican race that have switched parties to the SAP status. I start with them because I, too, am Mormon. Neither has the courage to simply standup for their beliefs without vacillation.

Huntsman is particularly offensive in that he lives off his father’s empire, and yet rejects publicly that which his father has dedicated his life to. This guy won’t even explain that he and his father believe differently. He thinks he is being honest. He is not. He has no integrity because he pretends to espouse one thing and does completely different.

I noted the deceit of Ed Rollins above, for his betrayal of Michele Bachmann, whom he supported. Nothing he has said is relevant regarding her campaign or her as a person, other than that it hurts her. Destroying trust is the consummate means of rejecting integrity.

The media, particularly Fox News, has the least integrity of all influences in Washington DC. They promote themselves as providing information, when the public realizes all they are getting served propaganda. The worst offenders are Megyn Kelly and Sheppard Smith. Sadly, Bill O’Reilly has moved in that direction; there is nothing fair and balanced about his hour in your living room.

What happens from all of these houses built on sand is that they distract Americans from confidence in their government in exchange for a few minutes of personal gain.

The Say Anything Party is the consummate group of people willing to destroy America, while preaching they want to save it. Either they are liars or stupid!

Americans distrust our government, leaders, media, schools, businesses, entertainers, banks, etc. because they are begging for someone with integrity and none can be found. They are there but can’t be found because those who truly are corrupt and lack both honesty and integrity have created a pervasive level of doubt.

What has happened is we are now a nation of Philip Nolans, thanks to a generation of Benedict Arnolds.

Sarah Palin greeting supporters in Iowa September 2 photo via Washington Post

Will she or won’t she? That’s the burning question in the minds of anyone in America who keeps up with politics.

Will Sarah Palin run for president in the 2012 election? Or will she stay on the sidelines, cheering on the “spirited debate” of the other candidates?

According to a Fox News poll, the majority of Americans say that she should stay out of the race. When asked the question, “Do you think Sarah Palin should run for president in 2012 or not?”, the results are overwhelmingly against her entering the race.

• 74 percent said no
• 20 percent said yes
• 6 percent said they’re not sure.

There is only a 9 percent gap in the between Republicans and Democrats who say she should stay out of the race, while nearly three quarters of Independents and Tea Party people said she should stay out of the race.

• 71 percent of Republicans
• 80 percent of Democrats
• 66 percent of Independents
• 66 percent of Tea Party people

Sarah Palin continues to leave the country wondering what her decision will be. The speculation is wide and varied, with pundits such as Karl Rove saying she will run, while other pundits and bloggers saying she will not. There’s also some who just do not know if she should run or not.

Jennifer Jacobs, chief political writer at the Des Moines Register, polled the politically involved in Iowa, and one reason listed as to why she shouldn’t  run is her indecision about what she is going to do. Saying Sarah Palin is the “Brett Favre of politics”, Ms. Jacobs  reports that the guessing game is getting old for potential voters.

Sarah Palin is speaking at a Tea Party rally in Des Moines today, and the rumor mill has been buzzing that that “today is the day” she will announce her candidacy. Her aides give the impression that there will be no announcement at today’s event, and Sarah herself continues to be non-committal either way.

“I think there’s room for more, though, because spirited debate and more competition will allow an even better discourse and more rigorous discourse that the public deserves.”

If she does not make an announcement one way or another in Iowa today, there’s always New Hampshire later in the weekend, where she will make an appearance. If she does not make an official announcement yay or nay in New Hampshire, there’s always the news media hounds, political pundits, her Fox News colleagues, and any other number of people to keep the rumors going.

There’s only one person who can put an end to this guessing game, and that’s the lady herself. She has said that her supporters deserve to know very soon which decision she is going to make. She has left the impression in more than one interview that September would be a fair time to let everyone in on the secret.

So the question still remains: Sarah, are you going to be one of the candidates? This guessing game is just feeds into the media and political drama.

Sarah Palin. Her name alone is a dichotomy of emotions, depending on who you are and which side of the political aisle you lean.

For the Conservative mom’s of America, she is a role model to be admired. She is a true lady in every sense of the word, full of grace and beauty, strong yet gentle.

For many Conservatives, men and women alike, she is a champion of the plight of the American people, who’ve been sold out by a myriad of political chess players.

Still, to others, she is a modern day Queen Esther, destined for “such a time as this.” (Esther 4:14)

The the feminist she is a threat, though they will never admit it. She has the strength and resolve they say all women should have, but she is despised for having. She proves the point they have been trying to make for decades, but does it with grace and style that repulses them.

To the liberal media she is a mockery and proverbial punching bag they would love to dismiss, but they just can’t seem to get enough of!

Finally, to the political establishment she is a wake up call. Unfortunately, they keep hitting the mute button. Very few people understand that she is not who they think she is, no matter how many times they think they have her figured out.

Karl Rove, one of the leading political pundits, stepped up to the plate and took the official stance that it appears as though Sarah Palin will indeed be entering the 2012 presidential race. Hold up, Karl! Not so fast! You may be a Washington Insider, but there’s one thing you seem to have forgotten: Sarah Palin is not a Washington Insider!

Her 2008 running mate may be known as a “maverick”, but Sarah Palin is the embodiment of the term.

She’s on a cross-country bus tour, standing up for the values she holds near and dear to her heart- patriotism and love for America. She makes no promises, she makes no apologies. She simply speaks from her heart.

The main stream media continues to be cast to the sidelines, not even earning the privledge of a hint of what her next move will be.

Not even her friends at Fox News, where she is a regular contributor, has an inkling of an idea what her plan is. She keeps them guessing at every turn! Just when they think they have her figured out, they find out they were wrong yet again (though they will never admit it!)

Sarah Palin and her family were thrust into the media circus during the 2008 election and were virtually ripped apart at the seams with wild-eyed scrutiny and criticism that would curl the toenails of any seasoned politician. 

Never mind that Barack Obama was pampered by so-called journalists who’ve been in the business for more years than he’s been on this earth- the priority was to find any speck of anything that may appear to be dirt on the Governor of Alaska.

Oh how the mighty have fallen! Just three short years later, Sarah Palin still haunts the liberal media.

Will she or won’t she?

Now the tables are turned. No longer bound by handlers as a secondary candidate, Sarah Palin is in complete control. Every media outlet in the nation is on the edge of their seats, just waiting for the slightest hint of an official announcement.

Will it come September 3?

Sarah’s not tellin’- until she’s darn good and ready!

How sweet it is! Sarah’s got ‘em right where she wants ‘em! And the media hounds and pundits can’t stand it!
