Obama's Infrastructure Plan Is a Sham Proposal

Since 1776 the political parties have had several major changes in political ideology.

That is in the process of happening again.

The values and issues of the Tea Party grass roots movement is taking over the Republican Party !

The Contract From America - what the Tea Party grass roots people desire for America - Is the new ideology that will be the NEW Republican Party of the future. It has already happened for sure in Maine and West Virginia.

The rest of the country is fast realizing that the new philosophy (radical idea) of actually doing what is best for the people and the nation (not the next election and legislators' good ol boy personal power agenda) is what is needed to fix Washington... Go Figure.

Of course, "Consumer Reports" and "Motor Trend Magazine" both consistantly state they take no donations from manufacturers R/T evaluations of the products they test

...my rubber red nose!

Political corruption has been, and is, running rampant in this country, and, at this point in time, Obama is the head cheese in that department.

Regarding Fox News though, I recall they were not all so nice to GW when he was potus, and that is why I believe Fox is into politcal "reporting" more so than politcal "favoritism".

ALL of the broadcasting news medias are basically telling us Obama is a doe-head and his falling approval numbers reported by virtually every independent poll state the same.

Best choice here is to get rid of Obama and his "pickle barrel cronies" before we turn, disasterously, into another "Mexico"! Also, we need to get out of our one track minds and initiate consistant communications with our elected representatives. I know it's a PIA but we have to do what we have to do if we want them to do what we elected them for!

Nightly does everything. We Fox watchers are into politics.

Now matter your childish cuts they are the best at what they do.

You must repeat same comment over, over, over, and over again. Can't think off the cuff...

As does Fox they are # 1 on Cable with CNN a far second...

Learn the distinction...

Bill Hedges of MO 10:44PM September 08, 2010

Independent of MA went back to February, 23 2010 for “NBC News said it was the most-watched week for “Nightly” in more than five years.”

I agree Independent of MA was at least misleading. But I agree with you he was "(I believe you are being untruthful)". Feb 23, 2010 for highest in 5 year number when today is Sept 8, 2010. He handpicked highest number.

That's Independent of MA style...

Bill Hedges provided the links proving my numbers are real. If you want you can always google "NBC nightly news ratings" and some lame Fox show to compare the two. Fox can't compete with a real news program like NBC nightly news.

Let's look at FOX's funny numbers. Take for instance "polling" in terms of tv ratings. Fox News says that they're #1, but that's only if you discount NBC, CBS, and ABC news! Any SANE person would consider NBC nightly news to be a valid comparison to Bret Baier (Fox News) . Below are the numbers.

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 :)

Don't trust all the numbers you hear from polls, wait until the election :) A lot of republicans will be crying... :)

We surround you FOX News! ha ha ha!

Independent of MA 10:35PM September 08, 2010

Independent of Ma. was providing “most-watched week for “Nightly” in more than five years” .

“Nightly News” averaged 11.1 million viewers for the week. ABC “World News” and Diane Sawyer had 8 million. The “CBS Evening News” and Katie Couric delivered 6.4 million viewers.”

“NBC News said it was the most-watched week for “Nightly” in more than five years.”

“CBS Evening News Ratings Tie 20-Year Low”

“For the same week, the normally first-place newscast, “NBC Nightly News,” had an average of 7.42 million viewers. ABC’s “World News” had an average of 6.51 million. NBC gained attention on Wednesday for broadcasting live pictures from southern Iraq as the last full United States combat brigade left the country.”

Get to the article . The 50 billion is no more than another union payback and an attempt to buy votes . Lets just piss more money down an empty rat hole . What has been spent has done nothing except raise unemployment and nothing in the future looks to change that . Why give tax breaks to people that already pay no taxes or don't hire people ? Why not encourage the risk takers and investors , people that hire people ? Quit demonizing the business people or the so called rich .

Give me a tax break , I'll save it , save it because I like businesses don't know what's comming down the line , what's so hard to figure out . I don't hire people , my boss does , encourage him , encourage the companies that buy our product , that will put people back to work .

Get you head where the sun shines and smell the roses , not what you've been smelling and trying to sell .
