I think David and Eliot are both right but the motivation to boycott the media comes from Sarah Palin. Since her experience, she has been "instructing" tea party candidates not to talk to the media.
Overall, this will be a most interesting mid-term election. Who knows who will win in most races? Obviously, the American public is tired of the status quo but I worry about placing people in important positions who speak out of place and appear uninformed. Sharron Angle...really?...she should do a better job of investigating the facts before making bold statements such as Sharia Law.
I find so many politicians think that they can say anything and that they think America people are not wise enough to pick up on it. They want the America people to believe whatever they disk out.
When did all that change?
(that people are voting for ideological reasons and have "given up on getting the truth out of any politician"? – what a sad statement that was!)
@Emily & Nancy in Oregon,
"I sure do expect Much More from a politician!"
"it's a sad reality, I suspect."
She didn't even say WHERE she read it. It could have been in a tabloid magazine for all we know!
@Emily re: David Hartley's body, i too expect an interesting explanation.
I agree with Megan....his body will not ever be found.
Excellent observation David. They talk past one another...
I agree with David Gergen that the tea party wants to roll the nation back in time!
Can Anyone explain to me what is Sharia LAW
@ Heather,
The men have always been sticking their feet in their mouths. It's sad to see that female politicians are proving to be no better.
Bloggers,
I agree all of you, it was so awesome rescue 33 men freed last night and tonight... It was touched my heart, too!!!! 🙂 Yay!!!!
That is SO Arrogant! (the way that they are ALL ignoring the Press, and therefore the public; shame on them)
I agree, Heather. Some of these women are sure not making a wonderful impression on me, by a long shot. What an introduction of women to the larger political stage.
Good evening Every one
Evening Anderson, look forward to tonights show.
More of the Sharia law stuff? Boy, the wingnuts just keep on winging.
Can't understand how Sharon Angle can make a statement about sharia law in Dearborn MI. It was a stupid comment and she had no evidence to back it up. I was in Dearborn MI. today and go there often and I know people who live there and have never heard anyone make a statement like that. I don't blame the mayor of Dearborn for being upset with her statement.
Seems like if an strong Independent would have run in Nevada, they would have had a good chance against both Harry and Sharron..

Angle, just another politician spreading fear to the public
Excellent statement! I completely agree. Interesting how she changed her story according to who interviewed her.
Ms. Angle is obviously mis-informed.
I would think that fellow Americans would report any behavior of that kind.
I believe that Harry Reid is unpopular in Nevada...he certainly is in my house. We need a different House and Senate leadership in my opinion.
@Shanny-'oh dear. There have been several female politicians saying and doing super dumb things lately. It's great to see more women in politics but not so great to see them behaving so badly'
The men are doing it too
Jo Ann, it's a sad reality, I suspect.
@Jo Ann,
"How can anyone believe something they read in one place without investigating it?"
I sure do expect Much More from a politician!
Emily
The reason why the body of David Hartley may never be recovered should be interesting...
Good point Emily, I know that might be mistake identified that truck, I think that David Hartley will not to be found anytime..... Good point there.
These politicians really need to start getting proof of their claims before opening their mouths. Quit wasting everyone's time and quit spreading fear
I'm afraid so, Janis and Heather. Back to small minds, eh?
oh dear. There have been several female politicians saying and doing super dumb things lately. It's great to see more women in politics but not so great to see them behaving so badly.
How can anyone believe something they read in one place without investigating it?
Sharron Angle.. wow.. :-O
She should take responsibility for what comes out of her mouth in the position she is in.
Hello Anderson! Hello Everyone!
Angle, just another politician spreading fear to the public
Sounds like more scare tactics to rally for her cause.
It was indeed wonderful, Samantha Rowley. I carried the inspiration of it much of the day yesterday and today!
Good evening Anderson & Team 360!
Hello,David, Isabel, Nichole, Nancy, Megan, Emily, JoAnn, Mike, Casey....all fellow bloggers.

This sounds like it could be fear tactics rather than the truth?!
Oh boy again???? I also disagree with Sharon Angle!!!!!!!! YIKES!
Good evening Anderson and fellow bloggers!
Still elated over the wonderful rescue of the miners! Starr mentioned last night it began on AC360 Tuesday night and ended on AC360 Wednesday night. How wonderful for us to experience this together. Now back to politics...
I know that we can count on you Anderson, to keep them honest!
Good evening people. I won't be up late tonight, but oh it was so worth the past two nights with the rescues and the wonderful sharing here!
Good evening 360 bloggers! :0)
Hello 360ers. Hope everyone is rested from all the excitement of yesterday.
Good evening everyone. I'm still so amazed about how all the miners were saved!
The reason why the body of David Hartley may never be recovered should be interesting...
