   If the Republicans had voted like this for the last 12 months, the November elections would have gone very differently.

   I’m sure that after this stimulus passes, the reenactment of the Fairness Doctrine won’t be far behind.

   One can only hope. Time to give put the public airwaves back under the control of the true owners – the people. The profiteers are only tenants, and its time to make them clean up

   Spoken like a true communist! Well said Komrad! What’s first, the torchlight rallies or the executing of the jews?

   The so called “profiteers” certainly are tenants – well paying tenants too. FCC license fees skyrocketed during the Klinton administration, but do “the people” pay for that? No it’s the “profiteers” who are providing what people want.

   Let’s look at how well Air Amerika did for the people… impressive! While Conservatives show a record of SAVING the air waves, generating profits, paying taxes, creating jobs and providing the listener with something they want to listen to, the liberals have utterly failed and left a series of unpaid employees, unpaid taxes, and bankrupt radio stations in their wake. Because no one wants to hear a damn thing they say. Their message was all hate and anger and mind numbing nonsense.

   Personally I’d say the people have truly spoken.

   As for the Big Turdburger – explain to me how ATV trails and abortions in Somolia are going keep General Motors from going under

   Hmmmmm?

   We’re all listening.

   Wow…they gave The Fuhrer a bloody nose. After all his schmoozing and threats (both veiled and not so veiled), and all the talk about how so many Republicans are allying with The Fuhrer, it appears they actually stood up to him, his Cabal and the rest of the Socialists and remembered, if however briefly, just what side of the aisle they are on and just who they represent.

   One could only hope and prey that this is just one of many over the next four years, that they will do so.

   Maybe, just maybe, they are listening to Michelle, Rush, Hannity and other Conservatives, that they actually did learn something after having Democrat-lite candidate McCain get his butt handed to him in the election and actually listening to us…their constituency.

   Too early to tell, and one vote is not enough to get me to actually believe in them, but it is a start. Keep up the pressure, and maybe this waking nightmare will only last 2 years, and then never again.

    Finally, the Republicans seem to be acting like a conservative party.

    I noticed in the article in the Washington Post that the MSM and Democrats seem panicked now that they won’t be able to blame Republicans for helping to pass this bill WHEN no new jobs are created and many lose their jobs because of this socialism.

    This is going to be a rough four years, and hopefully the Republicans will continue to oppose the socialism of Obama.

    I hope they also start publicly denouncing his disastrous foreign policy changes.

    Michelle,

    How can we thank all of our republicans for staying with their principles?

    By waiting 2 years to see if they stick to their principles, then voting for them if they do.

    I don’t have a d@mn thing to thank them for. They are supposed to be our “public servants”, and their showing in the last election and since suggests they have forgotten that.

    Don’t mean to be harsh at you, but I have been getting more disgusted by the day since the immaculation, particularly with the crap that is in this bill.

    EagleHasLanded,
    The Fairness Doctrine won’t put public airwaves in the hands of the people, only the politicians.

    “Profiteers” who are remotely successful at profiteering are giving the people what they want. Nobody is going to pay for an ad on a show nobody listens to. Thus, their profit is dependent on people listening. Thus, they air things that people want to listen to.

    Politicians take money from you by force via taxes and thus are not under the same constraints. They will air only things that they want you to hear. Listen or don’t listen; they have your cash either way. Not to mention a government-run press with which to campaign for your vote.

    Republicanvet,

    While I share your skeptisism the need to keep these people on “probabtion” I do think it is totally appropriate to thank them when they do the right thing, reinforce in their minds that we feel they did, and encourage them to stay the course.

    If they do the right thing and we don’t acknowledge it and keep complaining about past actions, what reaction will they have to that?

    Heck, my far left Senator, who went to Nicaragua 20 years ago was orgasmic meeting with the Sandanitas voted against confirming Geithner. I even wrote and thanked him. Hopefully he will see the light and do something good again sometime.

    Lord help me, I showed some optimism.

    YEAH. Power to the PEOPLE man! /sarc

    You obviously don’t have a clue about how the FCC and businesses operate.

    But it is typical of how a surrendercrat feels (I won’t say “thinks” because there is rarely evidence of that) regarding the “peoples” right to choose what they want to listen to.

    Why again does PBS hold fund raising drives?

    If this drivel passes, I can’t wait to see CNN/PBS/MSNBC/ABC/NBC/CBS, etc., give equal time to Rush/Hannity/Coulter.

    I’m glad to see so many “conservative”-minded folks actually taking part in influencing the vote now. It’s amazing what happens when enough folks tell their elected officials to vote/act according to the principles of their constituency. Hopefully in 2010 people will not forget this concept by accepting spineless candidates for office who just happen to carry an “R” next to his name. Hopefully the Republican Party has gotten the hint and will only put up candidates who are well-grounded in principle, not image-based popularity. Hopefully…

    Eagle would you agree with this?

    “Time to give put the print media back under the control of the true owners – the people.

    Would you thought this to be appropriate?

    “Today, in a meeting with Congressional leaders, President Bush warned Democrats not to listen to Paul Krugman a prominent liberal economist who has conssitently criticised the President’s econnomic policies.”

    If the people want a voice they can take the risk, invest their money and find sponsors. They aren’t allowed to be a mob and take over a private business. Presidents have no moral authority to single out any citizen exercising their First Amendment rights. Should Bush have acted that way about Cindy Shehahn?

    I hear what you’re saying but it is a little difficult given many of their actions for some time.

    But then, I guess a thank you isn’t like giving a donation…not that I would have any money left anyway.

    This feels like a faux stand by the Repubs. I just cannot help feeling this way. Need I remind everyone CS 1.0 didn’t pass until it was larded up and CS 2.0 passed?

    Sorry, I am NOT getting excited about this yet so as not to set myself up for the big let down.

    Let’s face it, the Dems are forcing us to pay for baby killing all over the globe while, at the same time, working to close GITMO.

    High priorities there Dems. I know I am feeling stimulated.

    I will still bet the house after there are a few cuts and tons more pork, we will see GTA 2.0 pass with flying colors. IMHO for sure.

    If the Reps want to regain our trust, faith and support, then they need to make this a trend, not a once-in-a-blue-moon item. Nobody is going to be swayed by this attempt to show they understand and support “The Base”…at least not The base, so like I said…if they want us to be supportive and fight for them, they need to continue to support and fight for us.

    Should they follow this path for the next 2 years, they will see themselves taking back the Congress within two to four years. If they used this as the stunt it appears to be on the surface, then prepare to lose even bigger come the next rounds.

    We gave them what they wanted. We voted for their “Moderate”. They need to take the message of the results from that debacle and systematically adjust for the future and realize that what this country wants are poiticians that stick to their morals and beliefs and not those that cave in.

    Actually there’s 8,839 – but who’s counting, certainly not the left! They control the TV media and whine and cry like 4 year olds when one network fills the Needs Of The People and their ratings exceed the other news channels by over 200%

    HI MNUSMCDavid. Thank you for your Vietnam era service. I served in the U.S. Army as a draftee (non combat role)stateside then.

    I have worked with a lot of very good military and ex military persons during my 41 year engineering career. I always thought the Marines were the best I knew–smart, tough, and patriotic.
    ***
    During the very early testing of the Patriot air defense system (known as SAM-D then) at White Sands Missile Range the first radar did not have high temperature electronics in it yet. The electronic cards were R and D commercial temperature range parts to speed development and testing.
    ***
    The radar went “Uprange” for critical tests–and the July temperature exceeded 103 degrees F. The radar stopped working a few hours before the test. An ex Marine Corps engineer went to a 7-11 store 30 miles away and loaded his pickup with 50 pound blocks of ice. He put them in the aisle of the turned off radar. An hour later the radar was turned on and made it through the test successfully.
    ***
    After the test the melting ice water dripped down into the power areas of the radar and everything shut down. This became known as the ICE CAPADE at Raytheon. I always liked the way the ex Marine “thought out of the box” and came up with a workaround solution.
    ***
    That Marine had a poster over his desk of a horrible WW1 battle scene–a foxhole in no man’s land with barbed wire, total destruction all around. Three Marines were looking over their rifles toward the enemy lines. There was a sign on the barbed wire saying, “MARINES DON’T DIAL 911!”

    Man…I didn’t realize I needed that laugh so bad. Whew…THAT was funny.

    Of course ILMC could not possibly explain hust how giving all that money to the Special Interest Groups, all those he owes favors to and other non-essentials such as ACORN and others could possibly “stabilize the economy”, but then I would never expect a Liberal to actually know about or understand anything they blindly support in the first place.

    Their view is, “If DU, Kos, HuffPoo and Der Fuhrer says I want it, then I want it…don’t need to know anything about it, just give it to me”.

    I never expect any personal examination of said items by them…EVER.
