These people are brainwashed by not only Fox News, but Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and ABCNNBCBS.
They are all liars, using our public airwaves to brainwash people. The FCC issues a license with the idea they are to serve the public interest, not their own interests $$.
It these Republican morons are so brainwashed they think Romney was a good candidate, will they ever snap out of it with the current media?
Of course not.
So if they are going to keep at it, and we are the smart ones....WE have to do something, like hold the media accountable to their FCC license or start a movement to have their licenses revoked.
Everyone here likes to complain and point the finger at idiots.....
but we are idiots if we don't do something to change the current path of destruction we are on.
Sure Obama won, but look at them starting in already. They are going to try to impeach him for benghazi. Their hypocrisy and insanity is out of control, and they are not going to stop unless we stop them.

And major part of getting past all the crap is being big enough to let it get slung at you without freaking out.
I've no idea how things are going to pan out. I hope the cynicism and sniggering die down quickly, it isn't at all suprising, and god knows the left deserves a breather and a chance to let their feelings show, but in the long run it's very counterproductive. It's strong content that will change minds, not fun and games, and I truly believe that now more than ever we can't afford not to change minds...
