It's always nice to hear from another retired Democrat. To hear the demographics the media puts out, we barely exist. I'm heartened to hear from others who share my views that the television news media upon which more and more of us depend to get our information is not living up to the intent of Benjamin Franklin and the other Founding Fathers when ensuring a free press. As far as your comment that the McCain campaign, and in my opinion the entire Republican Party, are backward looking, RIGHT ON! They seem to feel that the last great years for our nation were the Reagan years. Funny, I don't remember them that fondly. What I really believe is they would like to return us all to the 1950's. It was a great time to be a kid, but my parents don't remember it so fondly. As for me, I'm a firm believer in my high school's motto: He who does not go forward goes backward. I may be old and retired, but I believe in the future! Thanks, again. @Palmdale, CA

It encapsulates the backward-looking nature of everything McCain stands for. I, for one, am looking ahead. I share your concern and disgust with the media. It is totally failing in its duty in a democratic system... well, perhaps not totally, but nearly so. My hope is that over time, if our democracy can survive long enough, citizen journalists will gain the trust of We the People and make the corporate-owned media obsolete. Communities of people are flocking to those bloggers who encourage rational discussion and responsible journalistic ethics. Keep it up! From another old retired Democrat. “Keeping” — great catch!
