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.

The Most Important Undecided Group in the 2006 election per Rush is...?
Republicans are the most important undecided group in the elections?
Thanks
Something I posted earlier this morning
IMO
Newt has shot his load already. He had the chance for greatness and blew it.
Tancredo, outside of the interior West and border/illegal immigration followers, is unknown.
Allen, unfortunately is best known for his 200 or so apologies for the Macaca statement. If he'd just said,"Yeah, I said it and I meant it! So what?" he'd be in much better shape with pubs, libertarians and indies. Now he is damaged goods.
Romney, has possibilities. His drawback is that he is the Governor of a state both hated and dismissed as beyond hope by the right.
Rice, bright, articulate, but a babe in the woods when it comes to national politics.
McCain is a loose cannon to be avoided at all costs.
Guilliani, more a pragmatist than a liberal. Mayor of a liberal city with a population greater than that of 38 of these United States. Did what he had to do to rebuild a city broken by more than 36 consecutive yrs of liberal rule while constantly fighting a liberal city council.
I just sent rush a private e-mail to see if he has inside info about the taliband funeral escapade.
Yikes the post count was huge today. LOTS of eager posters happy with the news today. What's the count of the highest post Rush thread? LOTS of great posts today.
A: Islamic Terrorists...
what will AQ do to influence the elections???
will OBL release a tape?
what will the Pres of Iran do?
they all have a vested interest in the outcome...
We are not done yet either. Could be our 1st 1000 post day!
Its a Record
My Mom too. It really sucks. I told my neighbors here to let me know if they start seeing signs. I'm not going that rout.
You have my deepest sympathy, aligncare. That's a very, very hard path to walk.
It doesn't matter how much you know intellectually that it's going to happen, or how great a blessing you know it will be for them, when the terrible day comes we're suddenly five years old again and our mommies are leaving us.
The only thing that made it bearable for me was my absolute certainty that my mom was going straight to heaven and that I'd see her again some day.
Deer, the suburban cockroach.
I think it will be either Newt or Guiliani, or both together on the same ticket. I used to think Allen, not any more. I used to think Newt had no chance, not any more, I think he is slowly moving into the lead.
Forget it. He will never be the nominee. McLame is toast. Allen blew it. Rudi is too liberal.
As Always Johnnie you make this Thread the number one Thread in Free Republic
Come on... the terrorists are the most important undecided group. (tricky question) Will they release a tape, will Ahmadinejad start threatening and showing his ______.
Terrorists
They're undecided and say it doesn't matter because they'll kill everybody no matter who's in the whitehouse.
Bravo!
Can't you take 'em out yourself? Donate the meat if you don't like venison. I fill the freezer every fall. I love it.
