in the hell you're talking about you should have to shut-up. I think we should do so and we should dedicate the new law to Sen. Ted Stevens in honor of his quote regarding the internet. What do you think?

1. I think the FCC should enforce truth in advertising laws when it
comes to political ads. Here in Arizona, John Kyl is running outrageous ads against Peterson. He says, like many repukes, that Peterson is in favor of raising the taxes by billions of dollars. The truth that is not mentioned is that Peterson, like most all dems, want to REPEAL the tax cuts for the rich. That is not the same as raising taxes, and it onlt affects a small percentage of the people, those who can easily afford it. It is infuriating to me because so many people are sheep and will believe anything they hear repeated a few times. LIES!!!!

4. A couple of points and a kick.
His name is Pederson.
Arizona has a great many of the primary beneficiaries of *the lessor's transfer of wealth, so they like it, and in case it has escaped your notice, they run this state.
:kick: :hi:

5. Thanks for the correction, and yes I have noticed that repubs
run things, Here in Sierra Vista, there are more than the average number of conservatives. There's the army base, and much of the population does the civil service thing. They are almost all repubs.

3. The First Amendment protects idiots too...
However, maybe there should be consequences for lies and slander...

6. Freedom of speech applies to liars and idiots, too.
But the rest of us, and the media, should be making ourselves heard.
