So which poor lefties had to watch Fox News Channel tonight?
I just had to know which of you had to swallow hard and with shaking hands actually punch up the number for Fox News so you could watch the Congressional Black Caucus/Fox News Democratic Presidential Debate.
How many think that just seeing the words Congressional Black Caucus and Fox News together is proof positive we have all been kidnapped and taken to Bizarro world?
I watched the whole debate. I know some probably think I watch cable news or more specifically Fox News, but I don't. I actually had to look up what channel it is on the satellite system. (Seems most of the cable news channels are together)
So how about it? Was the debate coverage "Fair and Balanced?" If you watched it, who do you think won/gained?

Somebody needed to say it.
As for Shawn, he is just pissed that CNN was showing "real news" like Paula Zahn and Larry King Live.

Perhaps you should try to write something constructive about your feelings while watching the debate.
Did you feel heart palpitations, or were you lulled into a coma?
Did you get sweaty palms from seeing so many Democrats in one place, or did you find O'Reilly on another channel and get sweaty in another way?
You say you watched the whole thing, yet you haven't added your thoughts on what you saw or heard.

I'll be happy to add my thoughts. Lots of red meat for the folks that have to go to the primaries. I think one of them even accused Bush of letting Haliburton steal lunch money from grade school kids.
Seriously though, there was lots of spending proposed. Universal health care plans, were flying all over the place. I also believe there were plans for everyone who wanted to attend college being able to go.
Very few of them mentioned how they would pay for this, especially with the budget in deficit, even when directly asked. Likewise almost all declined to say they would deny Bush the $87 billion requested for Iraq.
I thought it intriguing that there were complaints of companies exporting jobs while also candidates were claiming (I think it was called a mad dash to the lowest rung or something of that nature) they would close loopholes and charge them billions more in taxes.
Unless they support some form of fair trade, they will be basically showing them the door themselves as they run to countries that don't hit them from all sides.(taxes and wages)
Understand that I am a supporter of fair trade and do believe that corporations should have responsibility in part for the social safety net. However you can't just have open borders and expect them to compete against slave/cheap labor in other countries that have no OSHA, etc. I support tariffs to insure that our local industry is not destroyed while still allowing them to participate and earn money from our economy. However this view isn't popular in either party right now.
I didn't get nervous with that many Democrats in one place. I work in an elementary school, they are almost exclusively staffed with Democrats.
In reality though it was quite hard to tell any of them apart from each other since they all bashed Bush, but didn't hit any differences among themselves.

It's called sarcasm.

I also watch CNN. I also watch Crossfire. I read Slate, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and Joe Conason's column.

What a whacky proposition, don't they think about what this must cost? Surely in this time, you cannot just throw some billions out of the window for something like that.

Oh, I think this is the definition of fair trade most people would subscribe to (if it protects *their* country).
Bennet is a sham. He was Education Secretary and he asked that they CUT his budget... what a good little trooper. I wonder how much he's gambling on the election.
