Most of 'the most brilliant financial minds' just destroyed our economy.
Ignoring something and telling yourself its irrelevant doesn't make you smarter.
I haven't said one word that even hints that I am smarter than someone else...that's your area.
BTW, if I watched the same news channels you do, I would have voted for Obama. So...who did you vote for?
This comment has nothing to do with the fact that the more sources you get your news from, the better informed you are, but because it's such a lame comeback, I'll rebut it anyway: In 1941, very few of the most brilliant military minds in this country suspected a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. Should we ridicule them? Guys like Larry Kudlow, who was once Ronald Reagan's economist and an original proponent of supply-side economics are not only smarter than you, they are better informed too, because they get their news from multiple sources. I used to work with Larry. For the past ten or 15 years, he's been at CNBC. Not every word that comes out of Sean Hannity's mouth is true you know. On the other hand, a liberal who watches Fox news (or Bob Beckel for that matter) is always going to have more credibility than a guy like you.

We both know that you are flat-out lying here. I was responding to post 35, where you said "Who said I wanted dummies to take me serious." I guess if you want to nitpick that's 9 words, not one. They don't just "hint" that you think your smarter than somebody else. That was their only intended purpose.

I actually don't watch much TV News at all. I go days without turning my TV on, but when I do, it's usually the History Channel, other educational programming or sports. As for TV news, 90% of what I watch is Fox, but, yeah, I do make a point of flipping around to see what the other guys are talking about. I get most of my news from the radio. My favorite is Laura Igraham, but I also listen to Rush, Mark Levin, Hugh Hewitt Michael Medved and others. I make an effort to avoid Hannity and Weiner Nation.

If I watched the same news channels you do (Fox, Fox, and more Fox), I would also be a braindead automaton who couldn't identify one of the most well-known people in the news business & multiple bestselling author. Please understand that I am not wasting this much time with you to score points or belittle you. I think you heart is in the right place, but no one is every going to take you seriously if you systematically only listen to one point of view. Saying you would have voted for Obama if you ever watched something other than Fox sounds a lot like the only reason you voted for McCain is because you were indocrinated by Fox.
As for me, I don't feel like I voted for McCain at all. I voted against Obama, and the best use of my vote was to cast it for Obama. Among the primary candidates who had a chance at nomination, I favored Thompson and then Romney. I now wonder whether we would be much better off under McCain versus Obama. I don't vote in the primaries anyway. I am not a registered Republican.
Best of luck to you. You'll figure it out.
