Of course, John. I've seen you mention before how FauxNews has the habit of putting a Republicans face and name on the screen, but putting a (D) next to his/her name. (When this person is saying something they don't like of course.) It's just another misleading tactic. These people are full of them.

Take the "Mandated Insurance" issue. Signed into law in Massachussetts by Gov. Mitt Romney (R), correct? And as I recall, it was his idea. But look at how it's always presented by the right-wing media---as a "failed socialist experiment tried in a Blue State". No mention of the fact that it was the brain-child of one of their own. No, no. Never that.

Simple, but effective tactics. Mainly because they know most Americans aren't watching for it.

Regards,
Dave
