Yeah, this is kinda like Boss Hog sayin', "Nuff of this democracy crap... We're callin' it off..."
Hey, it's real simple folks... There's a reason why some songs seem to be ones that everyone knows... That reason these days is ClearChannel which decides what folks are goin' to hear...
(But, Boberdz... There's always the internet... Why can't some candidate use it to promote his or her candidacy???)
Well, they can... All their bloggin' friends will vote fir 'um... That means, what??? A hundred people??? Good luck tryin' to win a Senate seat on the innernet.... Ain't gonna happen...
But Amos has a very good point and that is law suits for libel when the corporations slander and lie... I think that approach has some merit until the Roberts Court stops that one, too... But, hey, it's worth a try... Of course, it can't pass by the 41 Republicans but it is at least a way to rile up the left and get them doin' what the tea baggers are doin'... Workin'!!!
My own feeling is that the Dems oughtta bust ass in Congress, use reconciliation and throw up as many roadblocks as are needed to keep the complete take-over by the Repubs which, BTW, is exaactly what Roberts and his Repub Supremes have in mind...
Yeah, the Dems have about 8 months to build a fort before the big rounds start raining down on them... After that, folks, it's over... Boss Hog wins... He get's all the money and the US bec omes like Haita, sans the earthquake (at least for now)...
