..."but if they do they will get the boot out of office.

I don't know if they'll get booted out of office. Contrary to the MSM spin, I believe that there's a deepening divide in the country - the ideological split is becoming more polarized. Unfortunately, the other guys control the majority and I don't see that changing in the foreseeable future. If some form of amnesty is passed, I don't foresee Republicans ever gaining a majority position again.

Although I don't agree with many of McCain's positions, I think he would have done a lot to shrink and fill in this massive divide and eased growing tensions. Instead, we got someone who's farther to the left (way farther), than Reagan was to the right. This isn't going to end well.

To paraphrase Margaret Thatcher, Socialism doesn't work because you eventually run out of money to transfer. With a trillion dollar deficit in just the first half of the year, we're going to run out of money to transfer sooner, rather than later. Then, I'm afraid we'll see something that hasn't been seen in over 225 years.

Between this and talk radio, no wonder the libs want the “fairness doctrine.” That’s incredible — FoxNews outpacing ALL the other cable news shows combined.

one of the questions I ask hotels when I call for a reservation is whether or not they carry fox news..if the answer is no, I thank them for their time and call someone else..I call around until I find one, and that’s where I go..

I’m not amazed at the ratings. However, I am amazed that the libs still cannot comprehend the simple notion that ratings sell. They must love losing at NBC cable because they still stuck to their own losing business model of liberalism.

I’m guessing Obummer will sign a bailout executive order for CNN and PMSNBC so that they may continue kissing his Marxist arse!

I would LOVE to see all the business people on CNBC defect over to Fox Business Channel or Fox News!!

Well, except for that Jim Cramer guy. He’s a loon! ;-)

About 69.5 million (53%) voted for Obama. About 60 million (46%) voted for McCain.

Isn't there around 300+ million people in the USA? How many of those are eligible voters who just never bothered because they didn't care about politics?? I wonder how many of them are suffering NOW because of HolyO's 'policies' (read: destructive anti-capitalism programs) and will rethink about voting come the next elections in 2010?

I think we are all going to be in for a surprise when those stats come out!!

I would like to know how many of the 69 million votes can be attributed to vote fraud. I suspect fraud is around 10 per cent, thanks to ACORN and such.

The best way to make a boycott effective is to select ONE of the lib channels and boycott it, for an extended period of time, rather than scattershot across all the lib nets.

I already refuse to watch any of them. I assume most here do not either. How do we then boycott? ;)

I suggest supporting the FairTax.org . If millions of people pressure Congress to get rid of the federal income tax, IRS, etc etc., they will have to listen, or get voted out. I think at least 60 million people agree with the concept of FairTax.

Without our money and consent, the federal government can’t continue along its socialist path.

I have finally concluded that ideology trumps even existence to a true lib like those that run the MSM. I believe they will go down with the ship before they learn that their dumb-ass fellow libs will not keep them afloat.

For all the years I have witnessed the disdain of the people harbored by the MSM, It’s still shocking to me. All of the “Unite, not Divide” crap. All of the vitriol leveled against honest hard working Americans, I still am stunned every day at the belligerence of these media types. I don’t know if there will ever be a day of reckoning, but it sure will be interesting when and if it does arrive.

That’s a great idea!
