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

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.

No, JenB and TalonDJ (I have to look up the spelling of Talon's screenname)
"I want to say this just based on the letters I get, OK? When I talk about the Christian Coalition, I'm not talking about all the members of the Christian Coalition. I am a Christian. I am talking about the leadership that sets the agenda, creates the message and builds these various sophisticated campaigns. I think that ... Well, I'll just tell you a story. I met one of the leaders of the Christian Coalition, in, in Atlanta a few years ago.
"And, we were arguing about this issue of contraception and sex education and so forth. And I said: 'But what do you do about the fact that two-thirds of teen-agers have sex before they graduate high school?' And she said ... she looked both ways, and said: 'We're gonna lose them.' Well, I ... you know, I try to go into things thinking: 'We're really on the same team.' You know, we may be different, you know ... and stuff, but we're all working for the good of the children.
" That meeting showed me that I was completely naive. I'm talking about the leadership. I'm not talking about the people who hear the message that sounds good and goes along. They don't care about children that don't look like them. They don't care about children that are not white, middle-class Christians. As far as they are concerned others can be eliminated. This is a holy war. And everything for our children is at stake.
"And we have to get just as involved as ... People who are on a crusade are passionate. We have to be on a crusade and be just as passionate on behalf of our children but not use the same tactics -- not use lies, not use misinformation and scare tactics."
She also said -- "Where's George"??

Well, you could always have LTC check with a couple of 30-year NCO's for suggestions. It's widely held among Navy NCO's that one reason that kerry (NO, I won't capitalize his name...ever) asked for Swiftboat duty was that it reduced the distance he would have to "fall" off the fantail.
LOL. I'm sure that all of you, like me, are just sitting around in our trailer parks. LOLOL.
