Yep, the percentages are against it, and I wouldn't be too sure that a republican vote is much better, althought at the moment the percentages are a little better, as is the direction pursued by the Republicans to attempt to protect the country, however, the lack of stance on illegal aliens, and free-for-all imigration leaves a lot to be desired and bodes much ill for the future.

Only $9 million? ... Moonves can buy it himself, and show it at home to all his Marxist friends.

Clinton Broadcasting System

I thought it was originally the Carter Broadcasting System. Guess they just changed what the "C" represents.

"Get rid of Al, Ronnie, or you’re never going to end the cold war!” Bingo. “All right!” he says. “Now get off my goddamn back, will you?”

From what I've heard about President Reagan, he never talked this way.

Poor James Brolin, a 5th-rate actor with no job prospects in sight, married to a harpy who is probably now not in the best of moods.

. “This is censorship,” says one source. “A pressure group has had a major network rip this movie to shreds.”

Horse pucky. It's only censorship if the government makes you edit a piece. When the hew and cry of the public forces you to edit a piece, it's called holding your feet to the fire to produce a piece that the public will purchase.

Viacom also owns VH1...you should see how they chop up Reagan on the "I love the 80's" flashback/nostalgia shows.

The bias is extraordinary.

Good day for The People
Bad day for the Dem goons at CBS!

No, idiot. This is the market at work. Censorship denotes government-imposed restrictions, and the govenment hasn't had a hand in this subject.

[ Lets make a movie about the Clintons. Lets show them planning and laughing while talking about ripping off the FDIC. Lets show them personally running drugs through Arkansas and offing Vincent Foster and ordering hits on people like Ron Brwn. ]

-AND/OR- with a part showing one of the Clintoon D.C. parties with marines in full dress uniforms as waiters to give their smarmy friends something to laugh at... with appropriate dialog... BOY! would that would make even the RINO's cough up their beer and spill their popcorn...

I say let them play the Reagan piece, and go them one better on Fox.. because the democrats are a target rice enviroment.

I have a Sat dish and live just close enough to a city 60 miles away that I can't get NBCCBSABCPBS on the antenna or dish for alledged legal reasons er sumpthin. Haven't watched em in 10 years I've been living here. And haven't missed Katie, Peter or Dans "Shit'n Shineola Show" at all..... Only reason I know they are still on this earth is FR threads like this.

One has to wonder if such bad films are subsidized by the socialist democrats backed National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Thus Communist Backed Sedition Ltd doesn't really care if they lose sponsors or financial backing. They get the free publicity and face time in the nooooooze anyway.

Stay Safe Ya'll !
