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.

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.

Social Security. But I'd much rather the gov't just give me back my $100 Gs in a lump and just call it a 40yr. interest free loan.
Cowllen Rowley is a way wacko Leftist who got lucky ONE time. Let's keep in mind her support for Cindy banSheehan last Aug, and here Moveon.org managed run for Congress here in Mn before elevating her to Media Sainthood.
I like the fact that Boehner hasn't apologized. Yet.
HEE HEE!
Mary "baby fat" Landrieu
Obey sp? from Wisconsin.
Figures.
Who was THAT on the radio??? Sounded like Mr. Haney from Green Acres???
Sounds like a plan to me.
It's nice that you like the POTUS to be so PC. I want him to stand tall, tell it like it is and let the public decide which they like better.
I don't need to bash the dems, they're doing enough damage to themselves and don't need my help.
Harry Reid is up on the Senate floor...he is trying to put in an amendment that would force classified information that is in the Senate Intelligence Report..
That Hagel and Snowe helped the dems use to SMEAR Bush and his reasons for going to war in Iraq...and have the classified information made PUBLIC and CHANGED..to reflect THEIR opinions.
They are talking specifically right now about the time ATTA was supposed to have met an Iraqi official in Prague...
This all goes back to them trying to say the there never was any link between Iraq/Saddam and al-queda.
I heard Fred Barnes say on Brit's show the other night that he thinks there is STILL opinions in intelligence communities that the meeting DID happen.
Check that...I am not sure yet if they want the information, changed and deleted...or just made public.
Will get back to you....
Ugh...Turbin Durbin up now.
LOL
I don't know!
Got tired of holding my breath to tie my shoes.
:)
As I understand it, wikipedia lets anyone make an entry, so reliability isn't always the best. But the stuff on Jones seems right, if kind.
Where has Matt been since the 7th Century?
