As I said before...we have nothing (and never had) to fear from REPS & the Patriot Act. I also recall saying if DEMS win they will attempt to supress any dissent toward themselves... no accounting corrupt democrats that they are.

Here is what real violation of the freedom of speech REALLY looks like folks!...and it's not coming from REPS!!!!

DEMS GET SET TO MUZZLE THE RIGHT

SHOULD Barack Obama win the presidency and Democrats take full control of Congress, next year will see a real legislative attempt to bring back the Fairness Doctrine - and to diminish conservatives' influence on broadcast radio, the one medium they dominate.

Yes, the Obama campaign said some months back that the candidate doesn't seek to re-impose this regulation, which, until Ronald Reagan's FCC phased it out in the 1980s, required TV and radio broadcasters to give balanced airtime to opposing viewpoints or face steep fines or even loss of license. But most Democrats - including party elders Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry and Al Gore - strongly support the idea of mandating "fairness."

Would a President Obama veto a new Fairness Doctrine if Congress enacted one? It's doubtful.

The Fairness Doctrine was an astonishingly bad idea. It's a too-tempting power for government to abuse. When the doctrine was in effect, both Democratic and Republican administrations regularly used it to harass critics on radio and TV.

Second, a new Fairness Doctrine would drive political talk radio off the dial. If a station ran a big-audience conservative program like, say, Laura Ingraham's, it would also have to run a left-leaning alternative. But liberals don't do well on talk radio, as the failure of Air America and indeed all other liberal efforts in the medium to date show. Stations would likely trim back conservative shows so as to avoid airing unsuccessful liberal ones.

Then there's all the lawyers you'd have to hire to respond to the regulators measuring how much time you devoted to this topic or that. Too much risk and hassle, many radio executives would conclude. Why not switch formats to something less charged - like entertainment or sports coverage?

Pot calling the kettle

we have nothing (and never had) to fear from REPS???????? Just our homes, jobs and way of life..

Uh...no one can answer what exactly DEMs have done for the WORKING class...WORKING being the operative word here folks.

So stop with the irrational hate & lies about REPS.

I beleive we have seen what the reps do for us..12 yrs of senate control and of course Mr wonderful GWB..

no one ever argues a point on ehre anymore. she posts that and all we got were responses that were intelligible but require me to question the intelligence of the posters. argue your points. its not hard, answer the questions. you all get onto palin about that but you cant even do it relatively anonymously? come ON.


now someone mentions the possibility of obama infringing on our rights and BOOM, thread shuts down no one posts. be fair, spread the love.

the reps are responsibles for the mess we have now.
A nonsensical war and chaotic economy which is destroying the country.

Its always the same from her..Been argued time and time again..If one starts with hate what do you expect..Go ahead and try and give her a diff point of veiw.. We have all tried and tired of

oh lordy. i know its hard to talk rationally about political views, but it goes to if ya got nothing good to say....

Maybe you should take a look at the poo your slinging in the titles of your own posts before you throw loose accusations around!

yes well that's all you get from the NOBOMINATION crowd. they have yet to answer anything he's actually done or answer his questionable activities... it makes you wonder what is happening in the DNC that they can't find one person to run who has any integrity. It amazes me.

All common sense goes right out the window when they play the race card. AMAZING!!!!!

i would have loved for hillary to run. i would have truly. but sinc eits been obama everything has been one sided. obama doth no wrong and mc cain is th devil. everyone is ok with ignoring obama's friends and actions, yet mccain is never going to live down freddie.

There you go with the race card..Its funny the dems dont talk about race only the reps do..But by your words Im an IDIOT

Health care, for one.

lol desm think about race! how many times ive heard someone say theyre voting for obama because hes black. or think he will bring change only because hes black? jesus christ, at least reps admit sarah palin is a woman, when will the other half of dems admit obama is black and different?

No...that does nothing for the WORKING class...

That's a govt. handout. What about job creation WITH benefits?

How about a flat sales tax... do away with income tax completely. Then everyone pays...even the drug dealers... no one would have to worry about the under the table money being made & not taxed. No one would have to worry about if the wealthy are hiding their money in swiss banks. Businesses would not have to work their buz around the tax structure. If you can't find a job then you aren't looking.

come on folks... suggest away.

I beleive from not just on here that more people will not vote for him becauses hes black..There is more to peoples views than just here..

It would do a heck of a lot for me, and I'm part of the WORKING class. (80 hours a week, seven days a week, plus college courses--can only afford insurance for my son, but not myself)

Then everyone pays...even the drug dealers. That Ive got to see!!! If you can't find a job then you aren't looking. Tell that to the people out of work!!! What jobs??? Oh Micky Ds making $6 hr..Is that want you mean?

did you read what I wrote???
