So many Republicans on my Television with so little to say......
Why are they there anyways? I mean why so many?
and why so few Democratic voices?
I don't get it.







or maybe I do.

1. The media will throw the Democrats under the bus every time
to "prove" to the 10% on the right wing looney fringe that they are not "libruls" ..

2. We must have bipartisanshit!
The ship carrying the old white clones is sinking and Ensign, Kyl & Comopany are on deck smiling and fabricating as their vessel sinks. All the while toasting as the MSM Crew continues to serve them cocktails.

3. There was a orchestrated barrage today, some gop committee thing
a "phone call" or something laying out a whole stink bomb on Obama. I guess they figure the time is right to stir up shit.

6. When Bill Clinton was President, Judy Woodruff explained the
Party in Power gets first dibbs.

Over the years, the lack of Democrats on the air is their
choice. We do not have many Democrats who wish to be on air.

I have heard they do not like to be seen on TV. Maybe
they are afraid they will say something some consituent
might not like. It is extra work. You should prepare
yourself and this takes time.

I have heard that Blue Dogs and DLC do not like Liberals
on TV.

People speculate when no one shows.

8. Perhaps we could have some unelected Dems show up......
then.

Cause we need more balance considering that Dems are the majority.

14. Love the way that you keep providing me with the numbers and email addresses
that I put together.

Some have the graciousness to credit me for that list,
that took me several hours to compile.....
others don't....

Edited on Thu Jul-09-09 04:29 PM by Beetwasher
Apparently. :shrug:

I guess some of the whiny ass titty babies are going to abuse the UR button on posters they don't like, regardless of the post, as I can see nothing you posted that would be worth a UR.

15. Of course......
I wouldn't expect otherwise. You know what it's like when dealing with whiny ass titty babies. I work parttime at my stepdaughter's preschool, so I understand quite well the mentality.

17. I asked Senator Harkin's aide
why all we see is Grassley on TV. She said that that Tom always sends statements and things in. He is ignored by all the stations in Iowa.
