2.  What kind of country do we have when
The news media has to School these Republican Senators on the real facts...The Republicans have an agenda.. 1. To serve their masters, the corporations, who have bought their allegiance and 2. To make Obama look like a failure.

Its time to slap these suckers down ... and show the country what they really stand for. Self Interest.

10. Worse yet, a FOX news person had to tell him he was

4. Shep Smith, a reluctant hero for reason and logic on FauxNoise.
I really like that guy. I just really do. He's one of those Goldwater Republicans I think. They are sane more often than not.

5. Wow!
I can't believe that was Faux noise. Too bad out of 24 hours of programming there is just a sliver of Shep Smith which allows Faux to brag about how goddamn "fair and balanced" they are. That aside, it was nice to hear someone push back on this notion of "government takeover" of healthcare.
I wonder how long before Shep Smith completely goes off the reservation and/or loses his soul and has to leave Faux.

:applause: to Shep Smith for speaking the truth!

12. Kicked and recommended.
This is not the first time Shepard Smith has spoken out. Recall that he's also the one who took to calling Glenn Beck's "show" the "fear chamber" or something to that effect. He was also quiet vocal about Hurricane Katrina. Don't agree with him on everything, but on the majority of the big issues he gets it right.

13. What if
:tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat:
Faux Snooze knows that the PO is gaining support and that those against it are losing support?
What if they see the writing on the wall and are morphing their message to match where this is going?
What if they know they lost this one and are saving their phony poutrage for the next issue Obama tackles?
lets not give him a cape and paint an 'S' on his chest just yet. ;)
:tinfoilhat:

14. I'm sure Shepard Smith will find another job with either Headline News or a local Atlanta station.
