    Fox News is entertainment, pure and simple.
    It's just a venue to give "dittoheads" something to watch while Rush is in detox.
    Bill O'Reilly may ask "tough and important" questions, but he won't let anyone answer them.
    He may be a consumate performer, but don't kid yourself, as a source for information he is no better than Kurt Loder....

    Well Clocker I guess this is another one of those instances where it depends which side of the fence you sit on. I think the same way of CNN's coverage as you do of FOX's. But the majority of the American viewers tend to agree with me on this one because FOX beats out CNN all time in the Neilson ratings. And with that I'm off to watch The Factor

    Just remember Hank, there are a lot more sheep than there are shepards. Popularity reflects the ability to bedazzle the average mind, not the thinking mind.

    Based on popularity, Aaron Carter and Britney Spears are putting out the greatest music the world has ever known!
    Aren't we in the trust tree, thingey?

    So, come election time, when Bush kicks Kerry's (or Hillary's, or whomever's) ass, the "sheep" will have carried the day, yes?

    What do you libs (or pick your label) think when it turns out you are in the minority; that more people think Bush is just fine, etc.?

    Do you still insist that you are the enlightened few, anointed as practitioners of higher, better quality thoughts?

    People thought the same thing about Lenin, Marx, Stalin, Mao and Hitler at one time or another.

    I don't harbor any such thoughts, I just try to tell it like it is; I don't bother with "how things should be if there weren't so many stupid Republican conservatives".

    Even if you believe Bush won the last election legitimately, the number of people who voted Democrat was slightly greater than those who voted Republican. However, as I'm sure your aware, this "population majority" doesn't translate into an electoral majority.

    Nevertheless in real terms, (number of people) the Republicans are the minority.

    i will never vote for bush...i may at some point vote republican but not bush (i don't hold to any party blindly, i make my choice come election day).
    should bush win a second term i will be dissapointed but i will never think that i am one of the "enlightened" few.
    for the record i am not overly impressed with Kerry but i am less impressed with bush. Perhaps we need a system that offers more choice on election day that doesn't require each candidate to spend the national deficit on campaigning...just an idea.
    Should Kerry win i will be looking at his performance with the same critical eye as i do with Bush...it's my duty as a taxpayer and therefore his boss

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    actually it was just a mis-sight in the post omitting his name ...i can't see myself doing so but as i said i am still chewing things over (even though it might be a default vote). it's a sad day for us when one makes ones choice of a "lesser evil" than on talent......I was more saying to j2 that i wouldn't be thinking that everyone that voted bush are less enlightened than i should he win.
    one thing that is darn annoying is that tactical voting with nader could be to bushes advantage...it's a shame such a thing could happen.
    my main point about more choice i suppose was about the amount of money needed to run. There should be a minimun "entry fee" non refundable unless a minimum amount of votes are gained to discourage frivilous campaigns, but evey election year my eyes bulge more and more at the amount spent ( and worry about the influence the donators expect to wield should the campaign be successful)

    Good morning to all by the way

    And I'll suppose we'll ignore the good things Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler did for their countries. They aren't democratic, after all.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t
