after the Bush admin ya think the republicans would go back to their roots, Nah, lets pick a sure loser, John McCain and while we are at it, lets let the dems sweep thru congress. They missed their chance with Ron, thats for sure, thank the media and the corporate cronies. I can see the debates now, a sure loss for the bumbling McCain.

I think I'll depend on the doctor's opinion on that. Not that I don't think you're qualified, mind you, just that I prefer the diagnosis of one who observes it to one who lives it, that's all.

I believe you aren't qualified to judge me. I don't even think you have a sufficient sense of humor to tell if I'm serious or not.

With what you have already presented, I wouldnt put any wacky belief past you.

I believe Mitt Romney's sideburns are small, gray, bristly and not associated with or near any major intellectual capacity...

All right, you hooked me. The more I think about it the more I regret shutting down your usual method of attack with an early parry to your clumsy thrust. Go ahead and make me look like an idiot by persuasively arguing that the guy who put the biggest media empire since Hearst and Luce has no particular power and wouldn't misuse it if he did because the Austrialia native is such a patriotic American. I'm actually dying to hear it...

Mitt is right again. Murdoch's new empire is so blatantly biased it makes Katherine Harris look like Jody Foster. If all his hard work promoting the insanity that is Fox News has failed, all Murdoch can do is ride the gravy train... he has had some effect, but not enough to decide it completely.

At least Hearst and Luce had some understanding of subtlety. I guess we should be grateful Murdoch doesn't.

I would hope to suggest that Murdoch has wanted this outcome the whole time. He certainly does not have the ability to do so by himself but along with how many other elite cronies that help drive the masses; I'm sure coordination is not past speculation.

However, to others here, like myself, who deal with old GOP members a lot, this kind of information can prove very useful, but late, in persuading them to shut off their TV, put down the paper, turn off the radio, and look at the facts.
