Nothing but Repubs on the Cable stations. What gives?
The Republicans totally polluted the airwaves during our convention. I was naive enough to believe that they would allow us to speak during the Repug convention. Is there any wonder we have to take to the streets?
Here's a list of faces I've seen on the cable networks for the last 1/2 hour or so:

FOX - Rudy Guiliani, Newt Gingrich, Trent Lott, Dick Morris, Hannity & Colmes show.

CNN - Pataki, Andrew Card, Julie Nixon and David Eisenhower, Bob Dole, (Bob Mitchell and Bob Woodward just appeared)

MSNBC - J.C. Watts, Dennis Miller, Scarborough, Ken DUberstein (Reagan flunkie)

A big "two thumbs up" to the Democrat who held up the sign behind Scarborough that said "Leave Bush Behind". That sign got several full minutes of airplay. We rule!

6. War is right!! Who's winning though!?? I'm pissed off
with the lack of Dem "counterpoint" talking heads.

I stayed up until C-span this morning...watched the diatribe there. Although they DID have our side represented pretty well. Then I had to sleep.

As I did my work around the house today, I watched the tube and found little or NOTHING in terms of Dems defending or debating. This is just abominable!!!!!!!!!! As the day has worn on, the RW got mouthier and mouthier with their vile comments about us/Kerry; especially Frist :puke:

I really don't get why someone from our side doesn't just take a crack at SPEAKING UP and moving IN on those conversations. I did see a piece with Rangel...wasn't too bad...wasn't great. THENNNNNNNNNNNNNN there was Ed Koch????????????????????? WTF????

Do those people think this is a GAME?? I like McCain but now I believe he is a total putz. His wife has more sense than he does.
If Kerry doesn't come out swinging.......omg
