There's a Difference Between Mostly Dead and Really Dead

News Type: Opinion — Thu Nov 5, 2009 11:21 AM EST

I seldom think of those idiots in faux broadcasting positions be it radio, television or print. The substance of their gatherings is directed to simpletons who must be led in to these jerks circle of enchantments…for otherwise they will wonder around aimlessly missing the entrance.

These Prince and Princesses of the conservative intelligential are fabrications, legends in their own mind…which are reinforced by a following of the few who do make the most noise but under represent the party that originated from a totally different set of morals, standards and beliefs.

I believe there is a bubble just as in the housing market that will "pop" eventually and ooze the slime from beneath the locked doors where deceptions are echoed from the chambers of broadcasting booths nationwide. When this happens there will be a revolution in the Republican Party where the greater standing will appear more in step with the fellow citizens of America and not those chanting "One America of One Belief.

Of course entertainers know their audience and will market to their likes however simple or undignified they may be. It's not the quality of impressions these broadcasters want. It's the quantity! Unfortunately you can find a lot of people who's belief system stretches only as far as the city limits sign and those are who is willing to listen to propagandas being thrown at them through golden microphones from somewhere out in space.

Now would be a very good time for progressives, liberals or however current Democrats wish to see themselves to make some power moves and not worry about bringing along bi-partisan approval because the rank-n-file right wingers have their marching orders to disobey and disagree with everything that the Administration attempts.

It is time for the Pelosi, Reid, Vice President Biden and President Obama to take the bull by the horns and start kicking ass and taking names. It will bring the President much closer to a second term than waiting around on the powers that be in the Republican Party to come around...face it they will never agree with President Obama even if they are looking at the same thermometer and reading its temperature!

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Bummer. I was expecting one of those..."and they started the autopsy but received a terrible shock to realize she WAS STILL ALIVE!!! When questioned the attending physician said that when he declared her time of death she 'was mostly dead'".

Ah well would've been a cool story anyhow!

I wanted to attract attention from those who would regularly not be attracted to the subject to get a different perspective from them rather than the same hash that those whose minds are made up redundantly repeat. Plus the mostly dead-really dead remark is reflecting on the democrats and President Obama's momentum a year ago as compared to elections held this week...and suggestive that they can if necessary use a mid-evil device to pump some life back into their mission.

    I was hoping to attract a different perspective from a different crowd other than the status quo who normally are not changing positions but wish to kill a dead subject over and over...the matter relating to "mostly dead and really dead" was that the esteem the democrats may have lost from Tuesday's Election being "mostly dead" but it can be revived because it is not "really dead"... a play with words that I was hoping would attract more curiosity from political interests...but as they say…”live and learn!”

      Lol Sorry Casey. I do agree with the last paragraph in particular. I don't agree with all of Obama's policies but would cheer him all of the way if he put his foot down and stopped handling the "toddlers" with kid gloves. I think he has the intelligence and backbone to rattle cages. He's just put a lot of effort into trying to get them all to work together. I think his expectations are maybe a bit too high for many of them on the intellectual and maturity level.
