viewers will vote as Fox News brainwashes them. They don't know facts. They think Joe McCarthy was a hero, we found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, democrats raise deficits, heck they even think their taxes have gone up.

I'd love to see a landslide. It's deserved. But as long as a lot of people watch Fox 'News' and repeat the bs that it spews, it won't happen.
