Is The Telegraph being honest and straight forward?

Back in the year of 2008 the Editorial Page Editor of The Macon Telegraph Charles E. Richardson described the United States Congress as “Courageous cowards”, among other things for what he called a “flip-flop". He tells us: “After voting down a 106 page bill on Monday that would have bolstered the economy (we hope) and stopped the slide of Wall Street, Friday, the same body of 435 representatives voted for it.”

For this The Telegraph Editorial Page Editor Charles E. Richardson tells us: “They were like two-bit whores who bellied up to the taxpayers’ bar and declared, ‘I need to bring home the bacon. My no vote will turn into a yes vote once my palms get greasy with pork fat.’” 

He tells us that: “The American people should know that our legislators are motivated by one simple principle.” Then in spite of the fact that he is seriously offended when anyone talks about what he thinks as we see in the following video, he crawls into the mind of every individual who holds elected office as he tells us: “At the forefront of their thinking during almost every waking hour they are calculating: ‘How Do I get Re-elected?’”



These video clips are from a conversation with Bill Knowles at wearepolitics.com and Richardson. It shows two things: (1) How Richardson portrays his self as even handed, e.g. – Sam Hart and Charlie Bishop: (2) How he gets offended when he thinks people are looking “in my head”.

If Richardson wants to change those names to Bush and Obama we will gladly oblige with a documented list. The Editorial Page Editor and The Telegraph did everything they could to denigrate the Bush administration. They have done everything they can to cover-up for the deceit, dishonesty and incompetence of this administration. They have done this while promoting the paper as “middle Georgia’s Newspaper”.

The Telegraph and Charles E. Richardson was more than glad to con the people of middle Georgia when the Obama Administration was in the process of cramming the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) down the throat of the people of this great country.  

On November 19, 2009 ABC news ran a story titled The $100 Million Health Care Vote? The story tells us how “Democrat Mary Landrieu” who had “…been playing hard…” because the bill which: “Senator Harry Reid, who drafted the bill, cannot pass it without the support of Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu.”

In her case there was not a word from Richardson and The Telegraph about: “…two-bit whores who bellied up to the taxpayers’ bar and declared, ‘I need to bring home the bacon. My no vote will turn into a yes vote once my palms get greasy with pork fat.”  

No sir, there was no palms getting “…greasy with pork fat.” here. At that time The Telegraph in bed with AP (Associated Press) was telling the people of middle Georgia in an article titled: “$849B health bill sets up historic debate”: That “After weeks of secretive drafting; Reid outlined legislation to rank-and-file Democratic senators at a closed-door meeting.”  No sir, no one was getting “…greasy with pork fat” here.  

We then find at Nebraska Compromise 
The Nebraska compromise or Cornhusker Kickback refers to a deal made in December 2009 by United States Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to Nebraska’s Democratic Senator Ben Nelson, allegedly in order to secure his vote as the last Democratic hold-out for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and provide the Democrats with the required 60 votes needed to overcome a Republican filibuster. Concessions that were said to have been granted included a provision allowing states to restrict funding for abortions under certain circumstances, as well as a provision giving Nebraska 100 percent federal funding of the Medicaid expansion indefinitely into the future.”
If we fast forward to March 08, 2010 we find an AP article telling us: “Bye bye, Cornhusker Kickback. Hello, special treatment for Tennessee and North Dakota. Democrats unveiling revisions Thursday to their health care overhaul bill decided to kill the extra $100 million in Medicaid funds for Nebraska that has become a symbol of backdoor deal making.” We also find:


 “Special spending for other states” 

“Still alive is special spending for Louisiana, Connecticut, Montana and other states that was included in the health care bill that the Senate approved in December. The House may give it final approval this weekend.”

On this day in The Telegraph we find in less than 100 words, in the Brief section of the paper: “Democrat: Health bill likely to pass
Again nothing in The Telegraph about palms “greasy with pork fat” or “two-bit whores” here.

 “If we look in The Telegraph there is nothing about palms “…greasy with pork fat” here and we do not find any indication what-so-ever that: “They were like two-bit whores who bellied up to the taxpayers’ bar and declared, ‘I need to bring home the bacon.”
The only difference as far as we can determine is one vote occurred in the Bush administration and the other vote in the Obama administration.

If we are asked why, we have to say we do not know – we cannot look into The Telegraph Editorial Page Editor’s head.

We have to ask why would anyone trust these people?

For this we would guess we will be condemned to hell, we will have to go straight to hell and we will not be allowed to pass go.


Have a nice day.
