the MSM has exhausted me!
They are winning!

Whatever they want us to think,
that's what a majority of us start to think.
That's not good!

1. Tweety just said that it bothers him that the President...
isn't impulsive enough. WTH??? Who wants a cowboy-shoot-from-the-hip president? Been there, done that, which is why we're in the mess we're in now. I'm with you, they really beat me down more, and more each day.

4. That's the plan......never to retreat!
For the most part, they are the ones that have been running this country,
and they are running it into the ground!

9. Tweety especially wears me down because he's usually all over the place.
He seems to get a tingle from Obama, Cheeeeeeney, AND the Beautiful Idiot known as Palin.

8. I'm sorry, but why do you guys keep watching that fool? There's at least...
Edited on Wed Jun-23-10 12:50 PM by Tarheel_Dem
a half dozen daily Tweety threads. He's a spitting idiot, who reports the "news" like an episode of West Wing. "No Drama Obama" is not good for ratings. Keep that in mind when watching tv "news spokespeople".

19. Tweety makes me sick. One minute he's tingling and the next he is attacking.
I had to stop listening to him. He gives me headaches - literally!

22. If I Were Obama, I'd Go On Tweety's Show and Kick Him in the Nuts
Then I'd say, "hey, is that impulsive enough for you?"

See, that's why I'm not the president.

14. Nah, they aren't winning....
The vast majority of Americans don't even watch CNN, MSNBC, Fox. They are too busy working, planting gardens, going to the park with their children (if they have children), going camping, having friends over, spending time with each other, family and/or friends.

The only people watching these 24 hour infotainment networks are those obsessed with politics and all that comes with it (this includes me as well, lol).

If there is an actual winner, it is the internet, imo. More and more people, political aficionados included, are tuning out the gabfests and turning to the internet to find the facts and that, to me, is a VERY good thing.

20. Agree...
A large majority are turning to online news resources and forums to become informed about the actual issues of the day....minus the SPIN!
