And JOAN, I here ya! I’m right with you.

Cheers!

I’m probably as old as you are! With 2 grown kids (grandchild on the way) and business of my own etc etc, I’d say I could easily call MOST of the people here kids. So please next time before replying, make sure you’re replying to the correct person for the correct reasons. Thanks!

How’s the weather up there on Pluto or is it Uranus?

You’ve just added the capital “S” to S-T-U-P-I-D!! Or in your case I’d have to simply say Stoooooopid!

You forgot Maher btw, I know you idolize him when you’re alone in bed at night.

Agreed..All she can do is talk trash about other people…and I wouldn’t really call her a news reporter.

The claim that “logic is the bane of statists and progressives everywhere” is certainly applicable to this forum.

but there is, Medicare and Medicaid are the comparison that has to be applied and they are both failing due to fiscal unsustainablity, it is completely illogical to assert that adding to those systems will magically make them solvent.

logic, the bane of statists and progressives everywhere.

I must disagree with you on one point.

Maddow would have Nora O’Donnell under her desk, in order to put a smile on her face!!

Ed definitely wouldn’t do it for her!!

I guess it depends on your personal preference. If you emphasize preventive care, you invite the government to come into your life and tell you what to eat, drink, and smoke, and how to conduct your day to day activity. If you emphasize emergency care, you gotta love the system we have compared to everywhere else.

Opinion: Let government regulation serve to control cost through litigation reform and overcharging and fraud. That’s how you make this the best system in the world.

As for Beck’s assessment, his opinion is as good as anyone’s, since there is no viable criterion.

Beck NEVER was one sided, even when at HLN, he ALWAYS went after both sides or whichever side deserved it the most at the moment.

He called them Idiots waiting for Jesus to return. He basically said some really awful things. And, he said the liberals should just move on past the “idiots waiting on the hill for Jesus’ return”, leave them behind where they belong.

Maddow was right there along with him, whooping it up! It was the worst attack against Christians by Leftist Liberals I seen or heard in a long time. Anyone should be able to find the video on the net.

The thing is, Hispanics, who most of whom voted for Obama are Christians and deeply religious. Wonder if they are going to be upset by Shaeffer’s tirade against their faith.

His prime-time slot should be replaced with Beck’s. I’m really starting to like Beck now. He’s said some very outrageous and ridiculous things in the past, but he’s learn to reapply himself and start telling the people what they want and truly need to hear. He’s playing “in between” now, he’s not totally one-sided and completely biased like Hannity is. I’m tired of hearing him say how we have the best health care system in the world, when the reality of it is, we don’t.

As I said in another posting Lou Dobbs was getting boring with his nightly tyrades over the mexican border problems and not anything else. CNN and MSNBC as well as the rest were attacking Hillary as well as supporting the attacks made by others. As an independent, I still would’ve wanted Hillary for the insane hopes of her bringing us back to where we were when Bill was in office. I didn’t like Bill at first, but as the money grew within my pockets with the passage of time and Bill being the first to bring us to a surplus, I changed my tone.

Knowing how things work politically here in Chicago and such, I just didn’t trust Obama. He hadn’t shown enough qualifications for such a huge job. But I’m straying here from the original subject… sorry. Towards the end of my “analysis” of ALL the news channels, it was down to CNN and FNC for my so called viewing pleasure. What sealed CNN’s fate was the crap stunt they pulled on the Palin interview. Even after the author of the article whose words got severely twisted around got on air everywhere to set the record straight and denounce what was done, CNN STILL REFUSED to apologise to Palin! The “self proclaimed” reporter who conducted the interview even later acknowledged he had distorted the article and to this day has not apologised. That was the final straw! Regardless of what anyone feels about Palin (or any other candidate for that matter) it was the lowest of low blows. The same feeling would apply it it was done to McCain or Obama etc. The point is… journalism was finally dead for good at that moment.
The ONLY people that still hold on to true journalism regardless of wether you support them or not is FNC. O’Reilly, Hannity and Beck ARE NOT journalists! They only do commentaries of the current news. It’s the people behind the scenes at FNC that actually do the investigative work. As for CNN, MSNBC etc, their reporters sit on their a$$ all day long and scoop up what they can online.
It’s amazing how over the past few months all the other channels are breaking stories as much as a week or more AFTER Fox has already broken it to the public. Maybe they’re spending too much time still looking for things to blame Bush and Fox for to care about what’s REALLY happening in the world around us.

Oh… and to “Republiturd”… The name suits you… you are a turd! And if we were all full of hatred and racism as you and so many like you accuse us of… do you honestly believe that Obama would be in the White House now? Get real!

I like it when people say that ratings do not legitimize the stories and information being told. I think they absolutely do, people tend to watch, read, do things they enjoy, believe in or that challenges them to think about a certain topic or matter for themselves.

FNC doesn’t make fun of viewers who may have opposing opinions. Often they give equal time to the opposing views. You can think and say what you will but they also to not tell alot of untrue facts. Maybe the person presenting them has their own opinion, but almost all of what they say you can look up yourself.

Watch MSNBC, if you don’t agree with their “big 3(?)” they basically degrade and make fun of you. They almost NEVER have opposing views on their shows, and alot of what they do is trying to slander FNC. Very little if any substance. I’ve been trying to watch MSNBC more just for the opposing views, but its becoming increasingly harder to do. They tend to not even discuss the stories and issues that they claim they are reporting on it seems lately. Not to mention they don’t report on what should be important things to most Americans like Acorn, the czars etc. Not to mention the lowest of the lowest scum tactics of now seeming to think we’re all racist if we don’t agree with them and/or the president.

You’re right

Republiturd:

I apologize for the name calling…

and my rude remark toward Rachel Maddow

Evil corporations, haliburton…. you ever seen a poor guy give someone a job … DUMB@ss!!

This pretty much mirrors the current national state of affairs. The liberal element still lives in a fantasy world where everybody shares with everyone else, nobody is greedy, and everybody deserves the bounty with which we are miraculously blessed. The conservative element believes that institutions should be given free reign, even though greed will eventually bring such a system down.

We need to realize that individual freedom of choice needs to be the objective, and that the only interference with that should be when that freedom will harm others.

When you look at the ratings and truly look at the program content of all the news sources, who do you honestly believe is closest to defending that freedom of choice? There’s the answer to why the ratings are as they are. It’s what the people want. Wake up. Get real.

“Your freedom to swing your fist ends at my nose.”

The reason I said “Not gay” (most people assume guys in theater are) is I could tell you were an ASSUME kind of guy. See what I mean about assume I did it to myself by assuming that you would assume. Good Grief now you got me talking in circles like a democrat. Maybe if both parties (yes both) could stop talking in circles the Americans in this country could get some work done..it only took 56 people to sign and start this great country.

Not trying to get personal however you do have a foreign car in the bunch..I must say I am surprised they are not all foreign…you proved me wrong, YES a republican man enought to admit I am wrong.

All of my democrat friends drive foreign cars and buy foreign electronics..complain about republicans being non-american. I just shake my head most of the time.

Doesnt it make sense if you own a company, to try and get things done as economically as possible, so you can have more money to hire more people so your business can grow? Isnt that the American way or have we lost that somewhere along the way. What happened to hard working AMERICA..it seems democrats are ok with letting foreign people move here and take jobs..but get panties in a wad if a republican goes overseas to hire. When either way the company is going to get a tax break.

Am I just whacked out of my head or is that almost the same thing.

I think I’ve seen the sitting and rusting away in your front yard. I do like the GE washing machine on your porch.

I noticed you avoided my question as do most democrats trying to get you off topic..I said “what kind” NOT “how many and if they were paid for”…Also I TinMan is not because I am a hick and live in a double wide like you assume (we all know what happens when you A$$ u me) Thats why I asked what kind of cars rather then assume…By the way I played the TinMan in the Wizard of Oz on stage not to mention plenty of other shows..I am around liberals all the time and no I am not gay either I do family theater with my kids. Hows that for off topic? You think you can answer now or are you going to avoid it again like most democrats.

How many of them run?

I clearly have no HEART for “Idiots” such as yourself (since you are into immature name calling)..why dont you go start a business..pay your high priced union workers..I will sit back on welfare and you can support me..How do you like them APPLES? Is that “free market” enough for you. What kind of cars are in your driveway?
