brucetee_ Tell me what part of this discussion you are winning...
1. “.just as the captian of a ship is held responsible for what takes place on board by the people under him.murdoch,and others in a similar positions of power,”
barry is still blaming Bush. Here his speech. Wars must be paid for under Bush even though barry signed PAY AS YOU GO. barry blamed Bush for not paying for wars. barry should, according to your example be charged for not paying for wars. Law was passed while he was Captain.
So Democrats failed to follow the law. “murdoch” will be judged BY LAW. Not by your “analogy”.
2. “as to fox news,i said that they have not covered the story.thats a fact.”

3. “as to sarah and her e-mails,i did not say,or imply,anything negative about what was found in her e-mails another fact.. ”
No you didn’t, but liberals sure tried to dig up bad stuff on Sarah . We did dig up BAD WH E-MAILS on WH. I can add digs into liberals. Just as I did on Soros.
4. “as to republican peter king calling for an investigation of murdoch's conduct in the u.s. thats also a fact.”
Have no problem with that. Hillary Clinton and Biden both said barry was not ready to lead. Still isn’t.
5. “as to what news you watch,from you views it would seem to be right of center. ”
Key word, “Seems”. Now you are not sure. Before you wrote ““but for anyone to only rely on one news source is not getting the complete picture” . Besides, you don’t know what I watch.
6. “as to george saros he has no part in this matter. ”
This article is “McConnell Changes Course on Debt Ceiling - Will Back Cut, Cap and Balance”. You are talking off subject about “murdoch”. But I can’t talk about Soros. Bull hockey.
7. “as for tearing my comments to threads.you never laid a glove on me.but if it's makes you feel smug,think what you want.”
Ah, sleep the sleep of the ignorant. I don’t have to ignore articles like you do. Refusing to answer comments...

hey old fellow,you would seem to be the one in retreat.i guess that part about spending,earmarks,and republican hypocrisy on the subject touched a nerve.
instead of recycling the same old talking points,most of which are not germane to the subject at hand ( in this case hypocrisy on earmarks and a clean debt ceiling bill )it,s difficult to engage in meaningful dialogue.

it is truly amazing to hear the republicans,particularly the freshmen,out there railing against raising taxes, spending and earmarks.one of the current candidates running for president,michele bachmann,is out on the trail postulating against the evils of earmarks,except when it comes to her district.
these people lift the term"hypocrisy" to new heights.
as to raising the debt ceiling,it;s time to end this bickering.raise the debt ceiling,pay our bills and move on. this is not the venue to deal with other economic matters.

Appropriate to talk about Murdock and the growing News Corp Phone Hacking Scandal. Yes there are already convictions confessions and arrests to the substance of News Corps criminal activities. Yes there has been censorship by Fox News to the extent of their parent companies' crimes because it calls about their own credibility.
We keep getting this pig swill about this perverse 'balanced budget' amendment that would essentially give away this country to some minority oligarch rule to permanently shift all entitlements to keep the wealthy secure in a reverse robin hood corporate welfare state.
We keep getting this kind of pig swill because we have a criminal media dictator like Murdoch pressing us to give away our Constitution so we can continue to give $4 bil a year to News Corp in reverse taxes.
Problem is we have got a bunch of harpy wackadoddles who believe all the mularky, nutty Fox viewers who think if Fox News doesn't report it it isn't true. People who base their whole world view on the nasty Fox News hatemongering and tabloid exploitation. The result is news in America has be perverted by edicts handed down from mercenary hacks at Fox News, the Republican Ministry of Propaganda.
Lord knows what Rupert Murdock has from phone hacks for blackmail over his Republican evil minions. Murdock probably has a whole pile of dirt that he uses to pull the GOP puppet springs, with GOP morals and integrity being at the bottom of the barrel.
Murdock's criminal News Corp is dictating this kind of swill about amending the Constitution to make slaves of "We the People" to serve our wealthy overlords.
It should be no surprise that another conservative Hannity listener went on a murderous rampage, killing a Sioux Falls woman for no other reason to carry out some right wing agenda.
