    No, the GOP are extremely intelligent which is why they chose to use fear to run their politics. It's extremely successful as anyone can see from their recent history. Hell, it's extremely successful as anyone who has ever taken a class on Western Civ., European History or PoliSci.

    I have no idea if you lean left or right simply because it's not important to me. I can't honestly recall reading a single word you have ever typed outside of this thread. The only thing I know about you (and many others here) is that you comment on things for which you have no knowledge. To me that is not a sign of an intelligent person.

    I don't really watch any of them. I might catch something while scanning channels (when I have cable) but it's never been anything that I tune into for the purpose of educating myself on the world around me. In the past I would be sure to catch The O'Reilly Factor and maybe Crossfire, Meet the Press, etc. if the guest interested me, but that was probably years ago. Now I will catch the occasional clip on YouTube when someone brings it up as a topic of discussion.

    Dude, this conversation was over the minute you typed the first word after not reading the article because of the title. :rofl:

    When I feel like typing, I'll line out the fear agenda of the GOP in chronological order for you. We'll cover the topics of same-sex marriage, immigration, catering to the evangelicals, trying to link other candidates to Islam, etc. and all the other idiotic ideals that seem to take precedence over real issues like national healthcare, policies on the economy, energy, etc. that us tools prefer to discuss.

    So I take it you didn't read the article? Of course not. I can tell you didn't by your response.

    You aware of another network that manufactures the news instead of reporting it? I bet you don't even know the difference. You just think that anyone with an education higher than the 7th grade is a filthy liberal cause you didn't need no fancy book learn'. You got along just fine with your 'readin, 'ritin and 'rithmatic from the parish school-marm. You probably don't wear shoes, brush your teeth, etc. much less read articles longer than two paragraphs and don't have flashy graphics and pictures of eagles and flags surrounding them.

    So the GOP scares you?

    Sorry bro, I don’t need to read an article to understand that Fox pushes an GOP agenda. It is up with you and that article whether you truly think they run a fear factory.

    SO if you don’t watch any of them, why the **** does it matter what they push? There are just as many left wing outlets as there are for the right….


    Go ahead, type out the proven fear facts.. Please point to it and not the campaign garbage adds. Real evidence of FEAR.

    REAL FEARFUL PEOPLE VOTING GOP B/C OF FOX…….

    But I mean,

    “We'll cover the topics of same-sex marriage, immigration, catering to the evangelicals, trying to link other candidates to Islam, etc. and all the other idiotic ideals that seem to take precedence over real issues like national healthcare, policies on the economy, energy, etc. that us tools prefer to discuss.”

    Above is basically the left vs. right argument. Fear is just a spin-off of what conservatives believe at the heart. It’s not fear to them, more like


    Common sense.

    It’s a shame no GOP candidates or even GOP politicians ever talk about real issues……:dis::bncry:

    Dude you don't freakin know me. I have a 92k a year job running the radiography dept at the third largest refinary in the country. Don't come here with that your stupid shizt. I have a asnt level 3 expert status in my profession. I'm not a stupid asz because I don't give a damn about your dislike of fox news. I don't give a damn about your freakin article. I make more a year than the engineer that runs the inspection dept at the refinary. Now look at you with your readin and rithmatic parish school crap. I don't personally attack someone on here because they don't agree with me and I sure as hell don't like being attacked. This don't wear shoes or brush your teeth crap was way out of line. I have a damn nice brick house on an acre of land and a beautiful wife and kid that I take damn good care of. My family doesn't want for much and I'm not the trailer trash you think I am. I also had my own business for five years where I tested 9 others for their blackbelts before I broke my back in an accident. I'm not the loser you wrote of by no means.

    I got it. If you're not a liberal democrat or buy into progressive thought you must be some stupid redneck. You must not brush your teeth or know how to read. I was raised a Christian and a conservative. I was raised to have pride in this country and to respect the men that defend it. I was raised that a man goes to work and provides for his family. I have never received a penny of unemployment or foodstamps from the government because I have never not had a job since I was 16 years old. I was taught that a real man doesn't need government to do for him what he should do himself. I take care of my family. I believe in family, God and country. I like my guns and religion. If that makes me a redneck than so what. That's what's wrong with liberals. You made the case yourself with this seventh grade education and not brushing your teeth crap. If your not a liberal you must be stupid trash. You made the case for your kind. Liberal elitism bullshizt. Boy you really pissed me off tonight. You have no freakin clue.

    Because compared to the other news outlets he fawns over they are indeed moderate. However if you look at the picture as a whole CNN is very far left.

    Looking in that mirror again huh? You like to flaunt yourself as an elitist much like Obama, but like I posted earlier you're nothing more than a brainless sock puppet not capable of rational thought. Keep letting the far left do your thinking for you, it gives us great comical entertainment.

    I didn't say that. What is funnier that someone trying to twist words? Someone who is unsuccessful at it. That's you, still commenting on an article he didn't read.

    Because I'm not the only person who lives in this country? I am surrounded by people who watch this **** and think it makes them educated and knowledgeable. These people make decisions that affect my life like who they vote for, what taxes they vote for, public policy, etc. How the **** do you not grasp that concept?

    Did you miss the post where you called me a tool?

    Rwilliams, you read that article yet?
    No, I am not Republican. I used to be until I actually saw how retarded it was to be Republican when I discovered how traditional Republican policies affect my tax bracket. Even then though I was a firm believer in dental hygiene.

    I was taught those same things. Then I grew up and entered the real world without help from mt parents and discovered it's mostly bull****. I didn't see any reason to hold onto these values that were lies.

    I have pride in my country, but I am not blind to the bad policies that we have made and the effects on the world around us. I have not been without a job for more than a few days since I was a sophomore in H.S. Even then, I held a summer job since I was around 12. I did file for unemployment once (slow season and the employer encouraged it), but had a job before I ever got a check. When that first one did arrive, I tore it up. My family is #1 in my life and #2 is pretty distant.

    Never been big on guns, though. I think they're for pussies. Stop hiding behind guns and come out and fight like my grandfather and father did. Sure you might get your ass beat every once in a while, but at least no one is dead.

    What I don't do is comment on things I know nothing about. I just don't reply to the thread at all, although I have been known to offer up a smartass comment for the sake of humor. If there is a discussion that looks interesting and I want to participate in it, I read up on the subject first. Why? Because I don't want to look like a ****ing idiot.

    I bet you didn't get pissed off enough to read the article. You'll just come back here today with some stupid reply, completely uneducated on the topic of discussion and think there's nothing wrong with it.
