A Second Stimulus Will Not Fix the Economy

As I've mentioned before, Helen Keller was, at least, trainable. But when simple logic, reason, and rationality are absent from your students, such as the blanks mentioned above, all we can do is see to it that the "spendocrats" are booted out of office at the mid-terms ...then concentrate on throwing out that nincompoop currently sitting in our Oval Office in 2012 (...or the sooner, the better!).

If you all are suggesting that FOX News will slander and lie about the Stimulus in order to prevent any more government stimulus to revive the economy, you are probably right.
Just remember that FOX News was the cheerleader for Bush's policies that destroyed our economy and put us in this Great Recession.
Garbage in, garbage out.

I never knew that so many people didn't watch Fox. They always say it has so many viewers, but I guess not compared to NBC.

NBC Nightly News = 11.1 million viewers
ABC News with Diane Sawyer = 6.5 million viewers
CBS Evening News with Katie Couric = 4.5 million viewers
Glenn Beck = 1.5 million viewers
Bill O'Reilly = 4 million viewers
Bret Baier = 2 million viewers
As you can see Fox News isn't where most American's get they're news, just the one that's prefer FOX spinning of the news :)
The major news networks all DESTROY the fake Fox News folks, but hey FOX will SPIN their ratings to say they're number #1 (all they have to do is ignore the major news channels such as NBC, ABC, and CBS!) Drudge report will never publish the nightly news numbers.
The bottom line = MOST PEOPLE DON'T GET THEIR NEWS FROM FOX, thank goodness!

Fox # 1 with 3-6 times more watching prime times shows compared to distant second place CNN.

You're correct about Bill, he's a FOX news man!
Remember, FOX News never has any spin (laughing so hard... ha ha ha!)

Republicans: You say you're against socialism, but Bush passed Medicare part D (a huge social health care program). Plus Tea Party members refuse to cut medicare or social security (don't cut my favorite socialist programs, I'm entitled to them!) while they yell "down with socialism!" The republicans have shifted money and power to communist countries like China by opening their markets. Turns out free trade has made China a very powerful country and ruined our manufacturing base, but the corporations are making record profits and that's what matters. Surprisingly some republicans think that China's communist anti-Christian leaders will someday wake up and support freedom. Tea party members yell "pride, charity, freedom, God, country" and then support leaders that send factories, money, and technology to countries that hate all these things. Americans will have to take a 70% pay cut in order to bring down the cost of production to meet China. A Chinese engineer making wind turbines makes $7,000 per year! (and they're very intelligent and qualified). Thanks globalization republicans!

You must hate polls. Bust your tv tube before election night. Send family away a few weeks before election. Take a couple weeks of vacation and be alone.
You’ll be in a really bad mood..
