Good too many people either don’t know about this or assume it’s just conservatives being paranoid.
No democrat will go on record; they’ll give a mealy-mouthed non-answer.
DeMint ping!
SC Bump for Senator DeMint!
I think the Dems have given up the idea of reinstating the Fairness Doctrine. Instead, I think they will try to enact similar restrictions, only under the guise of something else. They also hope to target internet sites as well.
In a somewhat related note, MoveOn.org has begun running attack ads on Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) which is curious because, as best as I know, he’s not up for an election anytime soon. I guess the MoreOns just have more Soros money than they know what to do with.
it won’t be called ‘Fairness Doctrine’. It will Media Diversity and/or localism
this bill even if passed is meaningless
It’s my prediction (I hope I’m wrong) that Spector, Snowe and Collins have already been bought with the Porkulus.
Does anyone see them as not being owned?
Either that, or they’ll ALL be against the Censorship Doctrine, and the Libs will try to end talk radio with Local and Diversity rulings by the FCC.
I wonder if the Maine twins and Specter will vote in favor of reintroducing the Fairness doctrine?
They will just do like zer0 and vote *present*
My prediction for the vote on banning the Fairness Doctrine
For 38
* 38 (R)
Against 62
* 56 (D)
* 2 (I)
* 3 (R) (Snowe, Collins, Specter)
* 1 (Al Franken jumping the gun as Senator-Elect)
Present 1
* 1 (Senator Barack Obama forgot to turn off his APVM, or Automated “Present” Voting Machine)
How exactly can he “force” a vote? I’m thinking the Democrats could quash that if they wanted to.
Well, this could be good for a giggle or two...
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
LORD, PLEASE CAUSE A GROUNDSWELL OF SUPPORT FOR THIS.
DeMint is becoming my favorite senator more and more every day. For those who are more experience in the political activism realm, what is the best way to support this? I think even those who are not hardcore politically active conservatives would support this. Churches would definitely be behind this.
yes indeed, we will.
This is good, it’s time to take a different approach. We’ll see what happens.
