Who’s victory was “huge”, McCain’s and/or Obama’s?

An example of blatant media bias is the coverage the main stream media gave the opposing parties of the results of the South Carolina primary elections. The GOP and the Democrat primaries were held on two different dates. The latest was Saturday with pro-abort Obama defeating pro-aborts Rodham-Clinton and Edwards. I noticed that AOL news (and I suspect most of the old media did as well) used the word “big” and “huge” in in describing Senator John McCain’s narrow win over former Governor Mike Huckabee. In my mind it was a narrow victory, McCain squeaked by, he barely eecked out a win. He won yes, but to call it “huge” is at least an exaggeration. At worst it was manipulation.

The media is in love with the moderate-to-liberal maverick McCain. They would like to see either he or Mayor Rudy Giuliani be the Republican Party nominee for president. Both more nearly represent many of the liberal to leftist positions. The New York Times (NY Slimes – per conservative talk radio host Mark Levin) endorsed McCain, but would never endorse him in the general election. They do not want a conservative to win the GOP nomination. That is why they virtually ignored Representatives Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo.

What Obama did in South Carolina was really HUGE. He shellacked her majesty Madame Rodham-Clinton more than 2 to 1 that is 28 percentage points higher. But of course the media is cautious about telling the truth about the terrible beating the carpetbagger received. She still has a great following among the leftist press.

Being the most conservative of the un-conservative conservatives Mike Huckabee will be cut no slack. The MSM cannot ignore him completely, but they will never fully report the truth about him. They want him to lose to one for anointed – McCain, Giuliani or even flip-flopping and recent forged conservative card carrying Mitt Romney. Huckabee, though, by no means the conservative America needs, is, by his stated positions and his imperfect record is still more conservative than any of the three aforementioned individuals especially on the issues most critical to me – abortion, traditional marriage and Fair Trade. His nearest rival as a near-conservative is libertarian Congressman Ron Paul, who is not as strong as Huckabee on the issues of abortion and traditional marriage and I believe does not fully understand the threat that Islam, Islam-inspired and Islam-supported terrorism are to the Western civilization.
