"I think the country was well-served. I think the public discussion was at a higher level and more intelligent in those days than it has become since."

Sean Hannity was on fire yesterday. It was great to hear.

Public Radio is commercial radio. People vote with their wallet. Air time is paid by sponsors. Sponsors pay for shows that people listen.

If they did not listen, the sponsors would not be paying. That is accountability.

The majority party is revealing their colors. They just don't understand how a democratic republic is supposed to work.

Government needs to get out of the way and let the people, the market, that economy work itself out.

“...But other Democrats in the Senate and House – and even a few Republicans – have made no secret of their support for such legislation...”

In any Republicans are supporting the unfairness doctrine, they need to be cut off from funding and replaced. Now.

People really need to do a better job of searching for threads that are already posted. I think this one has been posted twice already, and I've noticed other articles being posted and reposted several times.

I'm not trying to beat anyone up, just an observation. Just like the article about Palin versus Judd. I see two on here this morning and there have at least two others referencing the same article in the previous couple of days.

"For many, many years, we operated under a Fairness Doctrine in this country," Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M.(and a self proclaimed Guardian of the Universe), told Albuquerque radio station KKOB last year. "I think the country was well-served. I think the public discussion was at a higher level and more intelligent in those days than it has become since."

Gee, Jeff, my copy of the Constitution must have ommitted the "higher level and more intelligent" wording in the 1st Admendment. But thanks for pointing that out, oh great Bingaman, arbiter elegantiarum supreme. Where would dumb hicks like me be without you and your cohorts...

Sean Hannity was on fire yesterday. It was great to hear.

Sean was telling the audience that his staff was calling her office to invite her on his show.

He broadcast that he was sure that by then her staff had been advised she was the topic of the day. His staff was calling a second time to give her a back-line telephone number to call.

He invited her to share an hour with him on his TV show.

When it became apparent she was not calling, he gave out the Capitol switchboard telephone number, and later a number for her South Michigan office.

If the Senator wants accountability, she was getting it yesterday.

People really need to do a better job of searching for threads that are already posted.

People should really not assume because an article is posted a title search has not necessarily been conducted. In fact I have done a title search before posting any article for more than 3 1/2 years and 1450 posts since I started just as I did with this article.

I think this one has been posted twice already, and I've noticed other articles being posted and reposted several times.

Good! Hopefully more will be posted on this subject to remind people of what the socialists are trying to do to the country. It can't be said enough. I'm sure other articles on the same subject have been posted but not this particular article form this source.

I'm not trying to beat anyone up, just an observation. Just like the article about Palin versus Judd. I see two on here this morning and there have at least two others referencing the same article in the previous couple of days.

I suggest leaving the policing of threads up to the FR powers to be.

I heard that, too. He should do it more often. I was shouting along with him as I was driving, lol.

Thank your for your post. There is always a pot of fools gold to be found somewhere amidst the verbiage a Democrat porker like Stabanow spews. She really ought to turn her attention to the miserable condition of the state of Michigan, much of which the Democrats and their union allies have caused. But that would be too daunting a task.

our new president has talked rightly about accountability and transparency.

We should ask Pretend Senator Stabmenow, "you are being sarcastic, right? Obama talks about a lot of things, then does the total opposite. Ask Obi for his long form birth certificate."

There were several threads about it at the time.
All good time was had by all!

Stabenow can be intimidated into backing down.

Are you Jeff Sessions?

Or is this only pro-liberal response on conservative talk radio?

Shockingly, I believe this only applies to radio. Amazing coincidence, huh????

Just a constituent who has seen her back down in the face of constituent anger again and again. It’s especially true with the big issues.

As I posted on another thread on this matter yesterday:

When the Senator is spending more time worrying about what I hear on talk radio than what her husband needs to hear from his wife, it is time for her to resign her Senate seat and spend more time at home.

And, eliminating competition for his liberal radio network, through use of her Senate position, will do nothing for his self esteem.
