The stupid Americans who voted in ‘06 and ‘08 to throw out the GOP to turn things over to the Democrats are equivalent in their brilliance to someone who kills a single Copperhead snake in the yard and then pays someone to haul in a truckload of Diamondback rattlers, Cottonmouths, King Cobras and Gaboon vipers.
Absolutely. The endless drumbeat of negative news stories aimed at the uninformed voters always makes an impact. Also too, republicans don’t know how to use the power once they get it. There’s a simple solution to the nonsense coming from the media. If and when the republicans gain the congress and the White House, they need to appoint someone to the FCC who will bring the hammer down. Tell the media outlets that they will place a banner on the screen of every news cast that states THIS IS NOT THE NEWS. THIS IS A PAID POLITICAL AD FOR THE DNC. Of course they will go to the courts, but then the FCC will ignore any court order, just like they ignore court orders that favor our side. Then comes crunch time when the building is closed, and sold to the highest bidder. You would only have to do this one time before they realized that you meant business. This sounds far fetched, but look at what the Clintons did at Waco, TX in 1993. They surrounded a building with 80 plus people inside, then burned it to the ground, killing all inside, women and children included. Closing a news station is nothing compared to what they do.
