VOTERS read these magazines. Lots of Voters!!

[TommyDale]

Perhaps, but certainly not SMART voters!

when Louisiana maintained its near-130 year refusal to elect a Republican to the U.S. Senate..

The Voter turnout was small in NewOleans which has the highest concentration of Black American voters in La.

..and they are manipulated by these magazines in their thinking. Remember there was not alot of "winning by a landslide" out there this past election. Never underestimate the power of magazines such as Newsweek and Time.

Reading and BELIEVING are 2 entirely different things.

And, I don't mean for his huge schnoz.

You mean for his microscopic, bent dink.

[My2Cents]

And the mainstream mediods say there is no bias in the mainstream media....

Bill Clinton could have a ho for life, in Eleanor Clift. All he would have to do is cut a mouth hole in the paper bag.

Sit-ins were very successful in ending segregation years ago.
What would Time and Newsweek think of folks holding sit-ins at abortion clinics nowdays?

[My2Cents]

OMG...what an image! And this just before lunch! :-P

[Republic of Texas]

His bag or hers?

[Paul Atreides]

I think he had one especially made for Eleanor, of Kevlar (to prevent accidental ripping and spoiling the moment).

In the 26 major civil rights votes after 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 percent of the votes. By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 percent of the votes.

Newsmax

After the Civil War, the Republicans passed the 13th Amendment, banning slavery, and the 1866 Civil Rights Act, the nation’s first Civil Rights Act, both despite the opposition of the Democrat President, Andrew Johnson. The Republicans went on to pass the 14th Amendment, requiring the states to obey the Bill of Rights, and the 15th Amendment, recognizing the voting rights of racial minorities. Later, the Republicans passed the 1875 Civil Rights Act. Decade after decade, generation after generation, Republican campaign platforms consistently included committments to the constitutional rights of blacks and minorities, while Democrats actively opposed Republicans on this issue. In 1956 and again in 1960 Republicans passed civil rights acts. So in 1964, when the Democrat President, Lyndon Johnson, submitted the landmark Civil Rights Bill, a greater majority of Republicans than of Democrats voted for the bill, enabling its passage. This bill had been the dream of generations of Republicans. The chief opponents of the bill were Democrats. Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Bill, even though they knew the Democrats would take credit for the law in the North and the West, and even though Republicans would lose votes in the South at a time when they were making a concerted effort to win over more southern voters. Republicans had been working for this legislation ever since the 1875 Civil Rights Act was overturned by the Supreme Court. Later in the 1960s, when the Voting Rights Bill and an additional Civil Rights Bill came up for a vote, the Republicans made the same choice and accepted the same risks.

Fair enough. I know of at least 3 million farmers who use Time and Newsweek to smear other things....
