but you can't argue that their catterwalling has not been effective.

Let's not forget that they have an entire network built and financed to amplify their idiocy, and fucking hate radio.

Driving is so boring sometimes, and sitting in traffic, I can imagine all the folks with talk radio on, not because they might believe that claptrap, but because they are lonely, bored with the conversations in their heads, or would rather listen to talk than the same CD they've heard a million times. After a while, it has to start eating into their thoughts, because there is absolutely no balance to what they hear.

Hell, I have two brother's who were in sales, and spent a great deal of time in their cars. We came from a strong Liberal to left-leaning family, with a grandfather who helped organize coal minors in Corning, OH way back in the day, but...after repeated exposure to 24/7 Wingnuttery, they started talking like fucking Rush or Hannity!

It took a couple of lay-offs, the great recession, and Kasich's shenanigans in Ohio before they finally saw the light.

Are the "wingers" more political active? I don't know...TALK TO ME AFTER THIS MID-TERM and I'll let you know, because if ever there was a damn good reason for liberals to get out to the polls, this is it.

If the prospect of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnel and Senate Armed Forces Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham doesn't wake people the fuck up...nothing will!
