Palin on Hillary: Sure, respectable media would NEVER speculate about a female candidate's health

Trig truthers.

Remember this: The political media has no idea what real news is, because the view everything through the lens of political tactics.

A post earlier this week showed Franklin Roosevelt walking.We all know the story now about how he fooled the American public,but I have talked to numerous people who recall when he was president.Not a single one of them knew how severely disabled he was,or that he was disabled at all.Each and every one of them said that they would have voted for him regardless.A secret of that magnitude could not be kept with today's technology.Fortunately for all of us some things are simply meant to be.
