that's sort of a relief. even tho it doesn't mean much right now.
he knocked romney off the top spot which is good and of course the other w'nuts slipped farther down the list.

I guess it's a relief until you realize that the guy who founded the Oath Keepers used to be on Paul's Congressional Staff. Makes you wonder a little about Paul, eh?

i try to listen to a little bit of everything; fnc, msnbc, rush, olbermann, maddow, hannity, whoever.
my tv is usually on one of the cable news channels which i mostly only listen to, or i may have a.m. radio on instead.

if i'm home in the afternoon, i like to have fnc on in case they have a good cop chase going on. great fun!!
the others have the chases too, but not as often as fnc.

edit-hmm, i seem to like the sensationalism of the cable news channels and a.m. talk radio.

They made the WashPost this AM, I noticed that the divine sarah got 7%. Dr. Paul should stick to delivering babies, his view on economics is pure loonie tunes.

At least we could count on his support to return to enforceable antitrust laws. If we are a capitalist country, we should try to return some of the free market. Now we are much more of a corporatist country than a capitalist one. The sheer size and economic power that these demons possess is one of the things that the antitrust laws were supposed to prevent. Capitalism without competition is not capitalism. The insurance companies opposing the healthcare reform are not trying to promote a free market; they want to retain their power to manipulate the prices consumers pay for insurance, and the prices they have to pay for medical care. Unfortunately, it looks like they killed the repeal of the antitrust exception yet again. Dammit!

Sorry to go OT.
