The MSM and MTV run the show these days.Add to that The View, Jerry Springer, and a whole list of other mind-numbing, self-idolizing, anti-character building garbage and we are left with an electorate incapable of understanding the simple fundamentals of what we are faced with in this country. I am like you...I think we are doomed also, but I'll go down fighting as well!

Bush Supporters Hard to Find in Wayne County
Wednesday, January 10, 6:12 p.m.
By Scott Schaffer
The violence in Iraq continues. Gunmen on Wednesday ambushed a convoy of Shiite pilgrims, killing at least nine people. In Baghdad, U.S. and Iraqi troops arrested 15 suspected militants.
On the chilly streets of Honesdale, there were plenty of people who said they will be watching the president's speech Wednesday night, but no one who said sending more troops to Iraq is a good idea.
"I think enough lives have been lost over this thing, you know. It's just like a sinkhole," said John Fletcher of Honesdale.
"Bring them home. This is just another Vietnam. That's all this is," said Jim Durante of Honesdale.
"I think that's sad. Three thousand people have already died," said Becky Butler of Vandling.
Wayne County is a red county. In the 2004 election, President Bush won 62 percent of the Wayne County vote. A little more than two years later supporters of the president are hard to find there.
"I know they don't want to lose, but I really don't think we're going to win. They really should train their own soldiers there," said Debra See.
"You're never going to change those people. They have a different way of life, how we live. They don't live the way we live. And you're trying to force them to live like Americans. They're not Americans," Fletcher added.
