I'm not worried about the Wal-marts of America. I'm guessing it'll be Murdoch who will unload his cash so he can own the White House.

4. I think you should ask when is Ailies going to do that.
Murdoch has liberal leanings. His family, the children are very liberal. I suppose when Murdoch passes Fox News just might collapse. If it is making money they might keep it up, but since they are starting to charge for every thing, I think they are running low like the rest of the channel shows. Remember the sponsors are dropping them. Especially in Britain.

Congress could be replaced by the Taliban... and Al Qaeda... no women, except those wearing burqas keeping the glasses full and the cigars lit... or hookas.

8. Maybe I'm missing something
We still get to vote, right? Is this going to change who we vote for? It may increase the money required to win. And increase the money-raising effort and the "debt" owed to donors. That's not good, but not significantly different than the way it is now where they don't listen to the voters.

10. you t hink maybe they're gonna listen now??
at all? The dollar champs over the chumps any day. Sadly, it's not a matter of helping the citizens out, but more, being in the club. The very exclusive club that none of us are ever gonna get our foot into, unless we're serving drinks, cleaning up plates, or handing out fresh towels before they leave the restrooms.

The party is over, get those dumb ass ideas that the people count out of your head.
