I'll give you credit for being a good study. You parrot the White House "Reichministry of Propaganda" lines as well as any of the empty talking heads or shill politicians on the networks.

Hello again, Robert... re: There are news services that are totally supportive of these Radical Republicans, ... There are a few. But there are far more left-wing / liberal media sources than there are conservative ones. The mainstream media (CBS, NBC, ABC) are very liberal in their reporting and bias -- so even if there are a few "right-wing" conservative media they don't come close to the influence of the "left-wing" media. re: A free press is a must for a democracy to survive. Every time I hear someone wanting to see the news restricted or someone advocating news censorship I shudder! Finally, something we agree on. re: Thanks God for the strength and ethics of the Democratic Party! The modern Democratic party has become a party of panderers to special interests. It's become the party of class envy and warfare. It's become the party that wants to control virtually every aspect of peoples lives (you MUST carpool, you MUST quit smoking, you MUST register your firearms, you MUST give your hard-earned money to those that "need it", you MUST join an HMO, etc. etc. etc). I was a democrat for most of my 48 years. I campaigned for McGovern. Bob Dole was the first Republican I ever voted for President. The Democratic party has been hijacked by pseudo-intellectuals whiners like yourself. I reregistered as a Republican before the 1996 election because I concluded that they (the Republicans) believe, far more than the modern Democratic party, in what the Kennedy/King liberal wing of the Democratic party once believed in -- in equal rights and personal responsibility, a color-blind society and in limited government, -- and in the rule of law. You, on the other hand, seem to believe in the politics of victimhood and political/personal popularity. Well, Robert, let me tell you something. If we ran this country according to the polls (which, by the way is exactly what WJC does) we would have never supported the British prior to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. We would have never abolished slavery. We would have never passed the civil-rights laws that were passed in the '60's. I think you get the picture. Robert, I know this won't change your mind about WJC and what should be done about his behavior, as you've demonstrated time-and-time again that you don't care one whit about the facts surrounding the issues. After all, facts can sometimes be very difficult things to deal with -- especially when they're all against you. There's an old saying that has some relevance here and it seems you're trying to follow it... "When you can't dazzle 'em with your brilliance, baffle 'em with your bullshit." Unfortunately, Robert, you've done neither. You're just not smart enough. Regards, Ross
