Fox anchorette is voicing the “lack of polical progress” meme

She has totally distorted Crocker's testimony.

I doubt your vote would be missed, as you’ve probably never voted Republican anyway.

Yes, but the media won’t admit that, nor will the RATS. It’ll be all about a “lack of politcal progress” drumbeat.

C-SPAN just said Cindy Sheehan was arrested at the hearing.

Now there's a surprise.

Yeah, I’m listening to Catherine Herridge (sp) on FOX, and she sounds so negative.

I think I am going to have to mute FOX.

Sheppard Smith is also distorting things including attributing the decline in violence to the fact that people have left the country and others killed. He must be sucking these ideas out of his thumb.

According to a CBS/NYT poll, 68% of Americans trust Gen. Petraeus over Congress.

Take a hint, Dems.

Republicans have no b@ll$, that is why I may not vote. They suck at offense and have their @$$ beat constantly! Pathetic wimps.

I sure hope that you change your mind, otherwise you leave it up to those who DO vote, and we are ALL seeing the consequences of NOT voting, the Freakin traitorous Democrats take over. It takes REAL Americans to stand up and vote. People who threaten to NOT vote are whiners of the worst kind, it reminds me distinctly of my two year old who freaks out if she doesn't get what she wants. The difference being, when whiners threaten like this, they play into the hands and plans of those who can and WILL do great harm to this nation. Vote or don't vote its up to you, but shut it when it comes to the threat, its imbecilic at best.

"Yeah, I’m listening to Catherine Herridge (sp) on FOX, and she sounds so negative."

and the twinkie lightweight Shepard Smith is commenting with her. They really need someone with a brain like Brit Hume commenting. I bet Shep couldn't even find Iraq on a map.
