Given those two choices, gonna have to go with the latter.<br /><br />I reckon you can choose to believe it or not, but the fact that we had<br />gotten no letters in support of Romney's statement is the truth<br />nonetheless. Got our first pro-Romney-47-percent letter today ... at<br />364 words, 164 over the limit. But because we've had none in support,<br />I moved it over anyway and used time I don't have to edit it down.<br />Which is what I ALWAYS do when we've had an overwhelming number of<br />letters on one side of an issue, that is, bend over backward to get in<br />the opposing view.<br /><br />You'll find it in Sunday Forum this Sunday.<br /><br />Thanks for reading,<br />Burgetta Wheeler"The Hammer"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16342812251947807673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-45350180701320445622012-09-21T14:26:39.357-04:002012-09-21T14:26:39.357-04:00Robert Burns and Ben Feller of the Associated Pres...Robert Burns and Ben Feller of the Associated Press already has Obama as a two-term president. Headline, page 3A of today's Raleigh News & Oberver:<br /><br />"Obama's record with Muslims uneven<br />Strides and setbacks in Middle East relations mark the president's first term in office"<br /><br />Or, does the N&O write their own headline for an AP story?
