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.

Perhaps so, I just think the ticket would drive them nuts because they couldn't whip out the race card.

I recall some thread that were over a thousand posts had over 20,000 page views as well, we may yet get there.

Laura Ingram calls it Tragedy TV

Thanks, Johnnie--I couldn't remember.

[rodguy911]

We miss you being there as well, your are the link Queen, no one can touch you when it comes to research.

[Roccus]

It comes down to what do you want? Someone to drive the libs nuts, or a leader? Times being what they are, I want a leader.

My exact sentiments. The experience has changed me in many ways...I'm talking about assisted suicide...there was no reason for mom to suffer the way she did in the last few days and weeks. Nor was there any reason that my father, who took care of her to the very end, should have had his emotional health and financial viability endangered.

Mom's doctors were of no help...It was Hospice of New York that offered the help and comfort we needed.

Dems peaked too soon. Notice how when Lament won, things went downhill for Dems. Bush soon after that primary went on TV with the blitz, and he has been doing it very aggressively, answering the critics. Dems are panicked! I think they were blindsided by a one-two punch of Lament winning and Bush swinging. They believed their own spin (and the media) that GOP were out for the count; now they pay a price because they STILL cannot provide ANY plan or agenda other than Bush hate.

[Roccus]

Almost 3200 posts and I don't know how many views. I still up-date it when something pops.

Oh, but you want me to come over and poach, eh? (heh,heh)

What? Who, me? Umm (shuffling feet)...it was wishful thinking on my part. (sidling away)

[TexasPatriot8]

I wonder if the 4th hour has anything to do with that. You think? What's Rush talking about on the 4th Hour?

[TexasPatriot8]

Kewl. I effected you. :) Heheheh. :)

[rodguy911]

Absolutely I agree, add in the damage of the mini-series to the clinonistas and you have bush at 47% or even higher if the truth were known!

Thank you for the kind words. Alzheimer is devistating. And society will have to brace itself for waves of boomers soon getting sick this way.

Hey man, nothing wrong with postulating.
In reality it's going to be Rudi or Newt, unless a dark horse is out there.
Both have their strengths and weaknesses to me.
I think Newt would be a better ideologue.
I think Rudi has a better chance of winning.

[MNJohnnie]

Yeah. When the history of this war is written, 09-11-01 will be the fatal day for Islamic Facism. The should of remembered what Admiral Yamamoto supposedly said after Pearl Harbor

"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

The world really does not quite grasp the awesome military and economic might the USA carrys. You really do not want us pissed at you. Leave us alone and we ignore you. Mess with us and you die. When they crossed the line to attack us here, they destroyed themselves.

[MaestroLC]

...add to that oil/gas dropping like a rock.

Icing on the cake!

[RobFromGa]
