And the beat goes on...

Senate debate continues.
Cloture vote fails.

1. The Dems need to be on every television and radio network screaming about how

the Republicans are being obstructionists, and are refusing to get our troops out of harm's way. Shout it loud and clear and often.

2. How long are they going to stay in session?

Will they stay in for days or weeks, until they come to a compromise? I hope so.

Break out the s'mores!!

5. They need to get on places like MSNBC and

CNN especially. These two channels want to perpetuate
the war , continue the slaughter of our young men and
women and rob our treasure spending it in Iraq while
depriving American Citizene.

People like Amy Rorhbach, Anderson Cooper and yes
Scarborough are trying to look sophiscated(while really
looking reckless with the truth) are too willing to
call this a stunt. Theatre. I would like to give them
a gun and send them to Iraq.

These networks have shown they take nothing seriously.
"Let the troops die, Let out money be wasted---I am
with the GOP all the way.

And they wonder why their ratings are lower than a used
car salesman.

7. The War Is More Important to Those Media Outlets Than Ratings Are!

It is obvious that continuing the Iraq war and starting the next war in Iran are more important to the Repiglickin' media than ratings.
It isn't about ratings or audience share anymore. It is about power and control. Power for the companies that OWN these media outlets.
