If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, period.
We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it.
I did not have sex with that woman.
I've listend to talk radio on and off for over twenty years. What I can say quite confidently after all that time is that I hear more dissembling, more obfuscation, and more bald-faced lies (with the exception of Mark Levin, but only because he has a beard) in a single three hour broadcast than I hear from several months of public statements from all the elected politicians of both political parties I hear on the news.
The point is this. Regardless of the merit (or lack thereof) to what you typed, talk radio is a pretty much little more than propaganda foisted on the naive and the ignorant for two primary purposes as far as I can tell.
1. Purpose one (and the MAIN purpose) is to make money. Radio hosts, radio stations, and advertisers are ALL feeding at that troth. They're enriching themselves like a bad rock band that gets a lot of press attention because they throw wild parties, engage in bad behavior, and thumb their nose at everyone with their conspicuous consumption.
2. Purpose two is to poison the well of public discourse in order to either maintain the status quo or to so turn off people from the political process that the wealthy and powerful can continue to manipulate the system to their singular advantage while the rest of the electorate squabbles on the margins over mostly nonissues. It's commonly referred to as divide and conquer. Many liberals get sidetracked by the tactic and it seems like most conservatives buy into it hook line and sinker. Meanwhile, the rich and powerful make a bundle while they benefit from the distraction like magicians who make you look at the moving hand while the other hand performs the trick. Meanwhile the common man and woman get screwed, regardless of their political leanings or political party affiliation.
As for me, I just wish people would wake up to see how they're being manipulated by people who are experts at misdirection and creating chaos as a result of their tactics. But I see no sign that's going to happen anytime soon. Meanwhile, the world is challenging America's previous economic preeminence at every turn, our problems continue to get worse because our leaders don't work together, and the wealthy continue to finance the political process which allows them to feather their nests at the expense of the rest of us while we allow ourselves to be distracted by BS talk radio nonsense and ridiculous reality tv shows that aren't even about anything that's real.
