LOL, true. It’s still the sad reality. I am by no means convinced he wouldn’t lean towards returning to the fairness doctrine himself.

I admit that’s a stretch, but this guy doesn’t like to be challenged, and I know there is going to be some challenging going on.

If the Republicans could hold 41 seats in the Senate they could block cloture on the FCC doing this. If McCain proposes it, it’s a done deal. Every Democrat would vote for it.

You know, as we comisserate, I lapse into futuristic fantasy that actually, in a world where Liberal Democrat Joe Lieberman has a realistic chance at the Republican VP slot --

... Hillary switches parties to Republican, the party of her youth, becomes VP on the ticket of her good friend McCain ... they're for responsibility and good sense, and put such a scare into the American people of Obama, who is already flailing and whose support is as much an illusion as Hillary's was ... but Democrats who don't like Obama, and they are legion, could certainly stomach voting for a winning ticket like McCain/Clinton over Obama.

And I wonder, of all those who consider it a moral civic duty to vote for McCain in order to keep Obama out of the White House ... would they vote for McCain on my wildly hypothetical McCain/Clinton tag?

Ah well. Like I say, as we comisserate.

I wonder if McCain would have wanted to use the “fairness doctrine” on FR , Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity during the amnesty romeo foxtrot last year .
