The Republicans have lost touch with their base. You have Santorum preaching like he is the pope and wanting to turn the USA into a theocracy.

You have Romney wanting to be like Joe Six-Pack by talking about all his friends who are NASCAR team owners and his wife drives 2 Cadillacs.

You have Newt who dares to talk about family values when he had affairs when married.

And that leaves Ron Paul. He would take us back to 1778 (when he was a teenager). Smart man but out of touch with reality.

Yes, the media used to be made up of real journalists - Walter Cronkite, Huntley and Brinkley, Edward Murrow, and Ted Baxter. We used to get news at 6 pm and read one newspaper for our daily news. Now, there are news feeds constantly - but you cannot read them all. Some people will not listen to news from CNN or Fox but still talk news with the those who listen to as much as possible.

Today, we can be very well informed as well as mis-informed.
