Thanks for this! I talked to three people today (while waiting to get my oil changed in Vacaville -- yes! Vacaville!). I had FOX News on the t.v. and all three people came out with the normal vitriol - blaming the President! I stood up for him and just told them the truth. Of course they didn't like it, but I wasn't about to let them go on and on with their poison unchallenged. The third guy came in when Bush was in Mississippi and speaking about Katrina. The third guy started saying, "Blah, blah, blah, we've heard all that before..." I cut him short and said, "Look, I like President Bush and I think he's doing a great job. I just want to let you know where I stand before you continue." We ended up having a really great talk and basically agreed to disagree. I felt like I was on the front lines -- well, I was! People are just so misinformed. I basically tell them not to mess with me because I spend hours researching what's going on. That usually makes them take a couple steps backwards. Most people just hear the ABCNBCCBS talking points, repeat them and think they know what they're talking about.

You should add FOX to the string of letters representing the media. FOX hides its true self. It gives much more to the DNC than the RNC. FOX is like the RINOs. Hypocritical. Enemy of Pres. Bush. Filled with Liberalism.
