How will the public react when the GOP congress blows tax $s getting nothing done? |
|
Because you know they will accomplish absolutely nothing except enriching billionaires and corporations.
Does anyone thing the citizenry will finally wake up?
I can only hope.

1. If Fox doesn't tell them it's happening... |
|
then they'll never know.
More than likely, they'll be told to blame it on Obama.

2. Here's hoping. We need the media to wake up first. |
|
somebody is going to have to do some hard reporting besides Rachel Maddow.

5. THIS is why MSNBC needs to get a reputation for being a good straight up news |
|
network, not a pro-lefty echo chamber. Yes, I know the morning lineup is disgustingly pro-right. Yes, I think Rachel's one of the best journalists on the air, bar none. O'Donnell's running a close second. Ed's show is nothing but a loud-mouthed screed from start to finish, you never know which way the wind will be blowing on Tweety's show on any given day (and he talks over his guests constantly), and KO started out well years ago but now spends too much time deriding Fox.
The daytime lineup? Fire Joe. Just fucking fire him, and get rid of Chuck Todd, too. Get Andrea Mitchell to walk them to their cars and change the locks while she's out of the building. Get Schuster back. Do some actual reporting, fergawdsakes. I am sick to death of "news to make you stupid".

If nothing gets done in the next two years then Obama will be back in Chicago. Likely that there is another HouseCleaning and the Senate too.

7. Won't matter - they're finishing the job |
|
when the government folds for lack of finances...it'll be too late to make any difference...the vote will be done for by disinfranchisement, FCC hasn't changed any ownership rules and with fox now going local...they'll just keep brainwashing.
Two things will have to change, first FCC has to start breaking up some of these communication monopolies - then something is going to have to be done with HAVA...we don't have a chance without work on these...oh, yeah they'll have to do something about the Citizen's United too...
