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.

Keep Pounding the Message home Mr. President!!!!
Yes putty's are always ok. Is there a Moonbat among us already?

Lauer opened his interview with the chrome-domed duo of James Carville and Philly radio host Michael Smerconish by rubbing his own less-than-hirsute pate and observing with a laugh in the shot captured here: "First time in a long time I feel like I have a luxuriant head of hair."
But things quickly turned serious. Echoing a sentiment expressed by his rookie sidekick yesterday, Lauer left little doubt he feels the Democrats are squandering an electoral opening by failing to propose sufficient specifics on national security. Lauer to Carville: "if you [Dems] ever had an opportunity to take advantage of it, it's now, and the Democrats can't get their act together."
Hey, at least Matt didn't say "if we Dems."
Carville offered a defensive response: "I think they will. As [the campaign] unfolds you're going to see more specificity."
Lauer was left unsatisfied: "On this particular issue, can we make you safer, can we win the war on terror, why haven't the Democrats come up with a better answer than 'that's not a fair comment?'"
Carville responded by listing a number of Dem security proposals: implementing recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, improving port security, energy independence and cooperation and reaching out to other nations.
Speaking of port security, I'd say the Dems best talking point is our failure to inspect more than about 5% of shipping containers entering US ports. I've never heard an administration official give an answer as to why we don't do more. Why not?
Talk then turned to the recent comment by Republican House Majority Leader John Boehner that "Democrats are more interested in the rights of terrorists than in protecting the American people." That was a bridge too far for Smerconish to defend: "He crossed the line. I'm not here as a Kool-Aid drinker," referring to Boehner's line as a "cheap shot."
and a fairness doctrine on the internet....
DANG GREAT MUSIC RUSH HAS ON RIGHT NOW!!!

"Let's go kick some Leftist butt."
Sounds good to me........just got some new boots that need breakin.
From the sounds coming out of DC re the Care and Handling of Terrorists bill, we might consider kicking some RINO butt while we're at the job.
No, I was watching baseball and reading. How can you keep your Blood Pressure low watching Huffington?
How long before the Political Susicide Club Conservatives and the Junk Media talk this down? Wish I could remember which Freeper did the Gas Price-Presidential Approval number grap. There is almost an inverse releationship between the two.
