1. Sorry. There is only one way to fight. Rethugs do it. Dems won't.
The minute a whore begins to think about saying something honest, the rethugs are on them for librul bias, right on the air. I've never seena TV whore NOT back down after an on air charge--they HATE it.

When Judy reads GOP talking points the dems invariably respond as if she's asking a serious question. It's amazing. And very sad.

3. You are damn right.
When they start responding to the typical biased questions by saying "if I wanted to hear right wing talking points I'd be on Fox" every damn time, things would start to change. Sure, it would be uncomfortable, but so what? Just keep repeating it! Take a lesson from the ones who beat you! Same line, same attitude every damn time. Eventually, the whores will get tired of it, they will no longer be able to further the corporate agenda without an IMMEDIATE rebuke, and they will either have to resort to outragious behaviour or they will have to become more civil and truthful.

Hit the crap back into their faces, then answer the question you wanted to get but were not asked. It will WORK.

5. Please take some responsibility for yourself.
Dieharder is talking about ways WE can fight the media - NOT ways we WISH the Dem Party would fight it.

Do you know how a democracy works? When the people lead, the leaders follow. Have YOU done any leading lately?

:P

It just hacks me off when people can think up all kinds of wondrous things other people can do to make things better, but can't for the life of them fathom doing anything themselves. Makes me wanna scream.

Didn't you see my :P??

And the posters who were whining that "the Dems should say so-and-so on Fox" are the ones who make me want to scream. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

11. Oh on here I'm a bit jumpy. Haven't memorized all of the smilies. LOL
I must be getting tired. Some on here are like talking to some republicans. I can't believe how some good ideas or post that seem important to me can sink while an oportunity to poop talk is very popular. I like my zingers but I want to make a difference. :o Thanks for letting me know.
