The Dream Team

After the big buildup the Repubs and some in the media gave him, I
thought his presentation was laughable. His one idea for revitalizing
the economy: cut taxes. In other words, the same old crap that has not
worked for the last eight years,.

What was he like, Harry, when you were in college with him?

I would argue the Republican Party is destroying itself. It needs new
leadership, and new ideas. Deregulation has been a disaster, as the
current fiscal crisis shows. Republicans have lost touch with there
fiscal conservative roots for decades now. They are a party in
disarray. The American people have spoken, and it isn't with a
Republican voice. I believe in a strong two party system, but
"government is the problem" isn't cutting it, anymore.

Government is the problem. The more government involvement you have the
less freedom you have.

When you pull in NPR which to any objective listener is left of center,
left, and far left and it is supported by US government dollars. Would
NPR still be broadcasting if they had survive without government footing
the bill?

If I'm not mistaken, government funding is somewhere between 2-6% of
NPR's funding. Corporations and charitable foundations, however, are
major donors. Considering how "leftist" you consider it, at least one
survey has PBS and NPR the "most trusted" news source.

Trusted by whom? I can perform a survey and publish my results and state
that the results are that PBS and NPR are leftist propaganda tools.

Polls and surveys can be conducted to get any answer you want. "Dewey Wins"

There is some really excellent programming on PBS that is available no
where else, most with no political bias what ever. A lot of their
funding comes from user donations, don't know just how much, but I
can't think of any other television network that I would consider
donating anything.

Unfortunately it is about the only news source. Print papers are
dying, and what is left are mere soundbite sources.

Amen.

If it would only stay with "Boating". The political minds might try
the political groups and find were some, with other interests percieve
the country and the world. There are plenty of political groups that
require thicker skin than many have here.

The same with other interests that sneak their heads in here.

Even I can manage to listen with my eyes well enough.

You'll find more mindless right-wing automatons over at the "secret

Well, he made the GOP the minority party for over 50 years. I guess
that's something.

You can award him the Emanuel/Shumer award posthumously of course.

This is what is so interesting about the whole talk radio phenomenon.
Why has conservative talk radio flourished across the USA? Why does
conservative talk radio pull in the ratings and in return the
advertising dollars? Why did Rush Limbaugh just get a $400 million
contract for 8 years with a $100 million dollar signing bonus? Obviously
the advertisers are there, the ratings are there and the listeners are
there.

Yet when we flip the coin over and take a look at liberal/progressive
radio we find that nobody wants to tune in and hear what Al Franken or
Randy Rhodes has to say. There are no listeners, there are no ratings
and therefore there are no advertisers.

When you pull in NPR which to any objective listener is left of center,
left, and far left and it is supported by US government dollars. Would
NPR still be broadcasting if they had survive without government footing
the bill?

Part of it is that the liberals see that the people are generally bad
and need to be told how to live while the conservatives see people as
generally good and want them to live their lives to the fullest without
government intervention.

I still can't unravel the idiocy of people who say they come from
Democrat families and therefore vote Democrat but, the rest of their
life is based on conservative values. Pulling the lever for a Democrat
because your grandfather voted for FDR is not the mark of an intelligent
person. Conversely, pulling the lever for a Republican just because your
grandfather voted for a Republican sometime in the past is just as stupid.


You should sell this crap of yours over at the mindless right-wing
site...aren't you getting the secret emails?

OK, I'll do my part. Most/all of my posts here have been political, but
while the group remains apolitical, I will cease and desist the
temptation.
