Washington State's governship goes to the Dems & Rise of Liberal Talk Radio

The Democrats are claiming victory in Washington State. The governorship might go to Democrat Christine Gregorie over Republican Dino Rossi.

Prior to the hand recount Rossi won twice. The first count had Rossi winning by 261 votes. The first recount was Rossi again by 42 votes and that was a machine recount. Now the hand recount has come into play and Gregorie has won by ten votes (as of this posting).

It sounds like Hugh Hewitt is right. If the Dems are not close to winning an election they can't cheat, but they are close in Washington State and it now it seems that they can cheat. They claim that the 700 ballots were found in King Country. Let us remember that King County contains the city of Seattle and that the county itself is strongly Democratic. So they go with the Dems no matter what. Again big cites are full of leftys, and somehow people lose their individuality and become part of the herds a.ka. Group Think in the major cites.

There is another factor in play that the conservatives might be overlooking. That factor is the growing influence of the liberal radio talk shows that came on the radar early this year. The one that is leading the charge is not anyone on Air America Radio, although Rush Limbaugh basher Al Franken does come in second place along with former Miami radio talker Randi Rhodes in 3rd.

No THE ONE leading the Left-Wing Radio Air Force is a man from Fargo, ND. His name is Ed Schultz. Schultz who got a syndication deal with Jones Radio Networks (sister division Jones MediaAmerica is now handling the sales for AAR) can say proudly that he is the "Number One Progressive Talker," and he does on his website(www.wegoted.com). I do have to question the left using the term PROgressive.

While AAR has about 41 stations (regardless if they carry all or one of the personalities on the network), Schultz has over 60 radio stations and is bragging that he got more affiliates in one year than Rush did.

This man from Fargo needs to watched "Very Carefully."

On one of Schultz's shows, a caller on the program sounded the rally call to give money to help give a green light to the hand recount in Washington. They barely made the deadline to have such a recount but these leftys did it. You can say that Schultz had a hand in these people to help raise the funds needed to have this hand recount. He used the power of talk radio to get the leftys fueled up to help the Dems claim the Washington State governorship. On today's show Schultz was patting himself on back for this "victory" in Washington State, but the fat lady may have not sung her final note just yet.

Rossi is not going down without a fight and the Dems would be much happier if he just back down and let Gregoire run the state.

To those nay sayers especially "you conservatives" that say liberal talk radio would fail, you better wise up and you better take them head on. One thing that has been going on in radio for quite sometime now is something called "Narrowcasting." Narrowcasting is defined in radio terms as certain radio station narrowing its scope and puts on a type of consistent program in order to keep a certain type of listeners listeners for a certain amount of time. In the case of "Progressive/Liberal Talk," these listeners are well-educated, poltically active, listens to NPR and keeps up on the issues so their you have your listener profile on who would listen to a commerical liberal talk station.

So with the help of the biggest radio company in the world Clear Channel (and some other well-known radio companies), they have signed on radio stations devoted to mostly liberal talkers. Clear Channel and then some think they can make money with these type of talk personalites.

Well they like to call themselves Progressive talkers. I think a better term for them would be REgressive because all they support is more government in our lives and wish to take this country towards a socialist state.

These radio stations have signed on in several key markets that are known to be liberal strongholds, and while two stations to my knowledge are getting ratings around 4 or 3 shares, these other REgressive talk stations are start to get some numbers and interest and it looks like liberal talk will work on radio stations that just only have personalities that call themselves liberal/progressive. It seems that it works better that way, the right and left with few exceptions can not co-exist on the same frequency.

Lovers of Freedom and Liberty, you must fight like you never have before. The old media may be on the way out but the REgresives have not. They too have their own blogs and they are making gains in talk radio. The left is acting just like the character Linus Van Pelt from the Peanuts comic strip. Linus always carries a blue "security blanket" around with him and at times sucks his thumb while taking comfort in his blanket. If anyone took that blanket away from Linus especially his sister Lucy he would overreact and thinks that he would die without the blanket.

The Democrats on the left act in very similar way to Linus, and their desperation to win the majority of a government branch anywhere in the country shows it. Should they gain the upper hand (state or federal levels) their security blanket will be their "power" and rather than sucking on their thumbs they will suck on our pocketbooks taking away from those who work and produce and giving it to those who don't produce(their are exceptions to the rule but more than not the rule is in play). They was also restrict your freedom while claiming there are for protecting you from harm, and that also includes taking away your right to keep and bare arms (Gun Control). They will also make sure that those nasty Republicans never get the upper hand and take away their security blanket every again. They act like babies, just like Linus.

Oh and one more thing the Dems are famous for making too many rules for you and me to follow. They always did love regulation for the sake of regulation. I shall save that for another post.

The media loves to go after "whistleblowers" when it comes to our FBI and Worldcoms, and Enrons of the world. However when it comes to whistleblowers that want to take on the UN the media turns a blind eye more less. Mark A. Adomanis of the Havard Crimson tells you why the media does so. This paper is a dally "college" newspaper and I plan on highlighting Adomanis time and again in the future.

Frank Gaffney tells us that it is the "smart people" that trying to shaft Rummy. Gaffney comes to Rummy's defence.

Token Lefty piece this time from Arianna Huffington says she is worried that the Republicans would nuke our Constitution. What Huffington is really saying she is afraid of judges that might roll back their so-called gains.

There is hope there is trust a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child
"Eyes of Child" a tear jerker that the duo Air Supply recorded. Remind us that during the holiday season we look to our past and then turn to our children to see our future. The song was written by Graham Russell and Ron Bloom. Russell along with Russell Hitchcock are Air Supply. Love their take on Sleigh Ride by the way.

Speaking of Dolly Parton here is a lyric line from a song she did with Kenny Rogers and its a holiday song and NOT "Islands In the Stream."

And you've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December

Holiday Lyric Line

Christmas is almost here and their are few songs I want to highlight before we put the music away for another year. So I will do this in evenings for the rest of the week. In fact my local station playing all Xmas will end the music at 7PM on Christmas Day and go right into their 70's music feature they do on Saturday nights (and at 12:00 p.m. for an hour during the weekdays) during their all year around format.

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never startand wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
"My Grownup Christmas List" which has joined the ranks of Holiday Standards and you can thank David Foster for this song. It's a song about adult who talks to Santa Claus about just having peace on Earth. Best known versions of this song were by Natalie Cole, Amy Grant, and Kelly Clarkson

Bush Comes to Rumsfeld's Defense

From the good ole AP

Sending Me News and Commentary Links

This morning finally someone sent me some links. However this person (I will not tell who that person was so your safe with me) sent my specific sites and not certain news and/or feature stories and commentary pieces.

I did check out the sites and what they were because I would like to know about them. I will talk about the sites this person sent to me in another post. For this post I need to lay out some certain guidelines if you want to see a piece considered for my blog.

1. Give me a specfic link to a story, feature, or commentary piece. However if you send something from a fringe website I will go through those pieces with a tooth comb. A site like Men's News Daily does not look as professional as World Net Daily or Newsmax but still has some great commentators on the site such as Bob Parks and Bob Newman. Chances are if I considred the site and piece off base I will not post it. Still give those pieces a try with me.

2. Unless you wrote the piece yourself and it was not published anyplace, you must give me a specfic link to the piece. I do post pieces from Neal Boortz's program notes blog from his website but I always give him credit by linking his main page. If all posssible I would rather just link the piece than copy and paste the piece. That way all the Copyrights and then some will be all right.

These are my two rules as of date. Not to hard to follow. If I need to add more rules I will do as I go. The rules and this blog are a work in progress.

Now if you got something for my blog the quote The Rock "Just Bring It."

Chris Eaton also wrote this song, but its more popular in the U.K. than here in America. One reason is that the 'British Elvis' Sir Cliff Richard made it a hit in his home country (early 1990's and is still alive), and the second reason. No high profile artist here in the States or and artist popular here recorded the song as of yet.
