Fairness Doctrine Options

[Hartmann]

Since this topic is slowly making its way into Congress I am interested to hear what everyone thinks about it.

I heard Obama talking about radio and how some Americans, "just listen to the wrong radio"... So is he implying that if he's elected he's going to shut off the radio he believes is wrong?


Also, can anyone tell me what's so appealing about Obama? Is it just because Oprah likes him? I don't see anything about him that actually makes him stand out.

Although I may be giving too much credit to the American people, I believe most people know who the good candidates are. They may say "oh I like Obama", or watch Oprah religiously, or both, but in the end they won't vote for him. I also think the American people for the most part have a good sense of the BS that goes on, like the democrats calling an all nighter so they could get themselves more campaign tactics for the 2008 elections (i.e. "ooh look at me I tried to bring your father/husband/etc home but the evil republicans blocked it"). I think most Americans can actually see past that kind of BS. which is why you have events like the election 2004 happen, where the media makes it look terrible, like everybody hates Bush, but then he gets re-elected for a second term.

If a democrat had to win... I guess obama would be the lesser of two evils. I shudder at the thought of a democrat congress + democrat pres. when was the last time that happened anyhow?

1993-1994, Clinton + Dem House + Dem Senate.

you're putting words in my mouth. I never said repubs were saints or never do anything politically motivated. it's just that right now, the democrats in congress are a bunch of dipshit babies who aren't getting jack shit done and wasting taxpayer money with fickle bills they know won't get passed just so they can use them as campaign tactics.

they're all useless shit-stain excuses for human beings, so who gives a nig what political party they're affiliated with? THEY"RE ALL THE EXACT GOD DAMNED SAME MOTHER FUCKING PERSON. none of them (any party) deserve to be elected by anyone, so it's either a non-vote or the lesser of all evils. most of them have lived past their prime, so being alive is more than they deserve.

also, i hate mexicans.
