Britt Hume just teased that they are picking on another CBS error being dogged by the Blogosphere
I only get basic cable as well since I don't really care for movies. But I get Fox News on basic cable. Mine originally did not have it but added it on the next upgrade. So keep checking.
It looks like CBS has bet the farm on a Kerry victory. Bush wins - they are destroyed. Kerry wins - they become the favored network with special access.
I also mentioned the story and the thread would be a great topic for Grapevine...they're paying attention!
Then we had all better be doing everything to see that GW gets re-elected. I just want to see them squirm, especially "Danny-boy"!
In my mind you have successfully identified the reason the FreeRepublic MUST exist.
This is what I meant in my open letter to Brit Hume (OK, so I put too many t's in his name)
Even if I didn't think it was crucial for the future of our Country and the world I would be for GWB just to watch the collective implosion, hysteria and gnashing of teeth over at DU. They have truly become unhinged.
Whoop!
Hopefully you saw the thread earlier today about the comments from the Letterman show - too funny.

No, I haven't yet, but will make a point to go back to it--I need a good laugh--especially if it is at the elite media hog D.R.'s expense!
As in a kid gets busted for lying and is all glum you would ask.... "Hey little Danny where you CBSing again?"
Tee hee, so did I. I wonder how many others did. I sent it to every outlet on my list.
What blows is that Laura Ingram had this story at 9am this morning but because she is so OBSESSED with Tif Merritt and every other left wing singer her stupid staff wasn't even aware of the Cocco subterfuge and left-wing peace nut alliances. I swear this broad spend at least half the show consumed with background music, lead in music, comedy bit music,.............it's crazy. I had already read the information on Cocco hours earlier. All I could scream at the radio was hey Laura, SHUT UP and STOP SINGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By then, what good will it do them. Few will be watching, regardless what they have to report. I know my clicker will never darken their frequency again.

KERRYS SECRET DRAFT PLANS FOR AGES 18-26. MEN AND WOMEN. NO COLLEGE EXEMPTIONS. THIS NEEDS TO BE CIRCULATED AROUND ASAP.
Subj: U.S. Military Draft expected to start under John Kerry
Importance: High
If there are children in your family, READ this NOW.
John Kerry has now called for increasing the U.S. military by 40,000 troops, probably in order "to match its new missions'' in the war on terror and homeland security.

This includes sending more troops to Iraq. http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/nation/president/2004-04-18-kerry-nbc_x.htm
Kerry has gone on record as stating that As President, John Kerry will call on young people to help strengthen America's security.

There is pending legislation in the House and Senate HR163 and Senate S89 by Democrats Charles Rangel from NY and Fritz Hollings of South Carolina to reinstitute the draft.
Here is a link to the CNN article about the Rangel bill http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/01/07/rangel.draft/
All the supporters of this bill are Democrats: Mr. RANGEL, Mr. HOLLINGS, Mr. MCDERMOTT, Mr. CONYERS, Mr. LEWIS, Mr. STARK, and Mr. ABERCROMBIE
These bills will time the program's initiation so the draft can begin as early as Spring 2005 -- just after the 2004 presidential election.
The democrats are quietly trying to get these bills passed now, while the public's attention is on the elections, so our action on this is needed immediately.
See the following websites to view Bills: http://www.hslda.org/legislation
Congress brought twin bills, S. 89 and HR 163 forward, entitled the Universal National Service Act of 2003, "to provide for the common defense by requiring that all young persons [age 18--26] in the United States, including women, perform a period of military service or a period of civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for other purposes."
These active bills currently sit in the committee on armed services.
Dodging the draft will be more difficult than those from the Vietnam era. This plan, among other things, eliminates higher education as a shelter and includes women in the draft. College students would not be exempt under the new draft. Kerry has stated that A Kerry Administration will offer Americans the chance to earn the equivalent of their state's four-year public college tuition in exchange for two years of service.

Actions, actions, actions:
Please send this on to all the parents and teachers you know, and all the aunts and uncles, grandparents, godparents.... And let your children know - it's their future, and they can be a powerful voice for change! Please also contact your representatives to ask them why they aren't telling their constituents about these bills -- and contact newspapers and other media outlets to ask them why they're not covering this important story.
The draft $28 million has been added to the 2004 Selective Service System (sss) budget to prepare for a military draft that could start as early as June 15, 2005. Selective Service must report to the next president on March 31, 2005 that the system, which has lain dormant for decades, is ready for activation.
Please see website: http://www.sss.gov/perfplan_fy2004.html to view the SSS annual performance plan - fiscal year 2004.
WHAT TO DO: Tell all your friends!!!!! Contact your Senators & Reps and tell them to oppose these bills!!!
Send this email to everyone you know, and ask them to forward it to draft age teenagers and their parents.
We need to stop the Kerry draft before it is too late!
YESSSS!!!
Yikes!!! This makes Kerry more dangerous than I thought--and I can't tell you how dangerous I already think he would be for the country!
You don't see something that outrageous every day: a politician cooks up a massive giveaway, AND a plan to force people into paying for it!
Read it and be very afraid: http://web.archive.org/web/20040210043828/www.johnkerry.com/issues/natservice/
