3. I could not say it better. Because
who filibusters each and every bill. Who holds up the appointments. Who holds up the bills. Who runs around the country telling lies about everything. REPUBLICANS REPUBLICANS REPUBLICANS. And I think Fox News should have a lawsuit against them for telling the lies. Damn I wish I had the money to start one. Just to get this crap in front of the public. This is ridiculous. The republicans cause all the trouble and then whine and moan about it.

5. You'd lose. Fox has already been to court and won.
"During their appeal, FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves. Fox attorneys did not dispute Akre’s claim that they pressured her to broadcast a false story, they simply maintained that it was their right to do so. After the appeal verdict WTVT general manager Bob Linger commented, “It’s vindication for WTVT, and we’re very pleased… It’s the case we’ve been making for two years. She never had a legal claim.”"

4. The fact that the ignorant r*tards that believe the Gubmint isn't the answer can keep the Government
from doing its' job is the reason NOT to elect them.

8. In CBS's defense...
Both Bayh and Graham have gone against major planks in their party. That would be why these two are so prominatly on display.

But any person with half a brain could trace the broken government back to Newt Gingrich.

It's all part of their strategy to get people to not trust government, to want to get rid of government so that the corporate model, fascism, in plainer words, can take control of everything American. Of course CBS is a large part of corporate America so it gives one pause to think.
