Some of you hard core righties are blaming the electorate for being sheep in the election of Obama, but the reality is there are just as many sheep on both sides of the aisle.

This is one of the dangers of making politics so entertaining, from John Stewart to Rush Limbaugh.

I get some chuckles from Limbaugh at times, he is entertaining, (gasp... I do listen to these guys!) Hannity can be to. But I do notice a disturbing trend, they repeat the same thing over and over and over again, like brainwashing. Hannity is worse than Limbuagh is. But I see the same thing on MSNBC, the constant repetition of the same message over and over again...

The reality is, no network is truly "Fair and Balanced"

They all have an agenda, and I wish they would as least be forthcoming and honest about it.
The best we can say about folks who watch any of these networks is that they are at least making an attempt to become informed. What bothers me is the voters who were "recruited" by ACORN because they can breathe and are old enough to vote...what percentage of those voters are informed? The Democratic party is notorious for getting out the vote to uninformed and irresponsible voters.
