I like hearing differing points of view as well, but I do not like it the way it was done on FOX tonight — right after the debate with individuals acting in an extremely biased way and ONLY extremely liberal-slanting comments right after the debate.
I actually have totally enjoyed hearing Dick Morris talk — just as much as I like hearing Newt Gingrich talk. (Please no flaming! I know who stands on the right side of the aisle!) LOL I even enjoyed listening to Joe Biden’s convention speech, and I cried too! I am not opposed to hearing what is going on with the other side.
I can’t say I am as open as my husband who actually likes to listen to some of the liberal black talk shows to see what they are saying. However, I like to hear the other side too.
It is just that... WELL.... in a world where we are all scared and sad and confused and smothered with problems, etc. etc. etc.... it is nice to have a news station where we can at least feel like we can go to and feel like we belong — a place we feel like we can be who we are and WHO WE ARE IS OK. I couldn’t belong to that news station I was hearing after the debate tonight, and I would not be able to believe that those people speaking after that debate tonight would think I was OK. I couldn’t feel like I had come home to the place where they understood me. I sure didn’t feel secure and comfortable.
For ME, I want news, I want to be educated, but I also so crave a place where I know I am not alone... a place where it is OK to be a conservative, or a Republican, or even just an Obama disliker. :) I don’t want to go to a place where I have to be told that my side is all wrong.
In conclusion.... (Do I sound like Raymond Burr yet?)... IN CONCLUSION........ :)
You made some good points in your post. I appreciated the insight. You’re also welcome to take ANOTHER last word, but I think I am going to bed, so I’ll get it tomorrow morning. :)
As for name calling, that is OK. I could call you something REALLY bad if I wanted to. I could start telling lawyer jokes! HAHAHAHA!
Thanks for accepting my apology, and thanks for yours too.
You won me over, dear sir.
Good night.
I can’t say I disagree with anything you have just said. I still think Fox is that place we can feel comfort. Just remember, it really doesn’t matter who won the debate. What matters is whether what McCain said resonated with the voters who are decide this election.
May God bless McCain and Palin and lead them to victory!
