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.

Kean is such a RINO, not nearly pro-life enough and lately he's been bashing the PResident. I'm gonna hold my nose all of Election Day, not just in the booth - because Menendez has to go.
Yes! She started it.
Justice Alito: 'Reagan an Inspiration for Me'
He was just 14 years old in 1964 when he heard Ronald Reagan make what became known at the time as "The Speech." Yet, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito now says it was at that moment that he acquired the rock solid conservative views that have shaped his life.
"When I thought about the effects that President Reagan has had on my life, interestingly, what came to my mind were not big events but vivid recollections of small things in my life that really marked a turning point," Alito told some 500 people gathered at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Tuesday.
"President Reagan and Mrs. Reagan were an inspiration for me as they were for so many other Americans and, indeed, for people all over the globe."
According to the Los Angeles Times, Justice Alito said Ronald Reagan "certainly deserved his nickname - 'The Great Communicator'" and added that Reagan's greatest legacy was his support of the U. S. Constitution "and holding on to the principles that have guided us for two centuries."
"This, I think, is President Reagan's greatest enduring lesson for all Americans, including members of the judiciary . . . . What really matters is to hold on to those principles included in our founding documents and not be swayed, to not be distracted and not to be blown off course by the prevailing winds of the day," he said.
I'll bet! :)
Rush ping!
In case this hasn't already been answered (I'm still catching up on the thread), Colleen Rowley was an FBI agent in Michigan who reported that her office's efforts to get Zacharias Moussaoui's computer info were stymied by the rules that forbade agents from looking at a personal computer unless they had proof the suspect had committed certain acts (I'm quoting from what I remember). The fact that the FBI had raided ZM's crummy little apartment and found it full of suspicious explosives and stuff wasn't considered concrete enough.
I guess this wouldn't be a good time to talk about homemade fettuccine carbonarra...
