You make a very good point about the rolling over & playing dead… seems like Congress still had a spine in the early Raygun years (several of his budgets were declared "dead on arrival") but beyond that there wasn't a whole lot of stomach for the Good Fight. To use a baseball metaphor, the Dems didn't invest in their farm system pretty much until Howard Dean took over in '04. But yeah, I always wondered why there was such a proliferation of media whackos like Lush Dimbulb without much of a counter from the left.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-5489731000650717302009-09-02T09:03:51.973-04:002009-09-02T09:03:51.973-04:00Pretty good piece, there, Mr. FARfetched.

You will remember how, back in the early 1980s we all waited for someone to counter Rush Limbaugh's lies and point out Mr. Reagan's idiocy. Instead, we got to watch the Democrats roll over and play dead and journalism agreed that Rush, too was a journalist because he talks on the radio and makes lots of money. You see where I'm going, of course, so I'll stop there.<br /><br />Keep 'em flying.<br /><br />JimmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-23429951594719541752009-09-02T08:16:37.771-04:002009-09-02T08:16:37.771-04:00Yup, FM, and like I said it's pretty easy to f...Yup, FM, and like I said it's pretty easy to figure out the bias and calibrate accordingly.

Of course most internet sites are bias based, but being able to do your own research on the internet beats hands down being told something and not being able to research.Family Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101125448247590979noreply@blogger.com
