Perhaps the Political Suicide Club Conservatives might want to consider this. In all the political wet dream fantasizes that "Conservatives win by losing" what do they think happens to their slim chances of taking BACK the Congress if the Democrats follow up this with a reinstitution of the Fairness Doctrine?

The Fairness Doctrine would totally destroy Conservative Talk Radio. Without talk Radio the Conservative ability to win the Congress back goes from slim to nonexistent. This wacko wild butt guess that by losing the Congress the Republicans would be "forced" to more to the right is the dogma of political Know Nothings. This "idea" shows a complete ignorance of the powers of incumbency and the very real damage Democrats could do even if by some miracle they only held the Congress 2 years.

Democrats Call on News Networks to Balance Stories TVweek ^ | September 13, 2006 | Ira Teinowitz

Posted on 09/13/2006 3:36:55 PM CDT by 300magnum

Top Democratic congressional leaders are complaining to network and cable television news executives that the networks are giving the party short shrift in national security stories.

"Until now, there has been a complete absence of balance in the news coverage of national security issues," House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in letters sent yesterday to top news executives at NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox News Channel and CNN.

Totally right. The more Democrats talk, the more most people realize they don't trust or like them. :) Democrats getting vocal and trying to get elected is the best thing for Conservatives. :)

If the fairness doctrine is passes, and if there is an Air America, will conservative talk show hosts be on Air America? Rush, Hannity, Levin, Drudge, etc? :) Yeah right. The liberal version of fair is all liberal all the time and conservatives shut up. That's Democrat fairness.

I would also point out the Fairness Doctrine apply to broadcast outlet. Each radio station would have to have "equal time" for wackos and Conservatives. Most radio chains would simply close down ALL political talk to avoid being snared if some bureaucrat decided he did not like their broadcast decisions.

It's remarkable how similar the experiences are for the families and caregivers of Alzheimer sufferers. I pray medical technology finds a solution...soon.

You're quite welcome. I thank you for putting together so many facts about Saddam and the first Gulf War. Your points are well made and backed up. Concise too. You put a lot of bottom-line info into a very short and readable piece.

ANother reason it's all just a crock. The liberals just want it all shut down because it's killing them by telling over 100 million Americans things the liberals don't want to be found out so easily.

I am envious of your nerdiness. I am terrible at research. I will start a Google search for, say, an antique truck part. An hour later I'm looking at websites about volcanoes or rafting trips or an article about the effects of chewing gum on lifetime earnings. Or whatever. I might have actually found the truck part. If I was really on the ball I would have bookmarked it. ; )

Don't feel flattered; my compliments were sincere. I hope your blog is prosperous and widely viewed.
