It really show the inability for many on the right to think for themselves and let fox do it from them.
It has happened numerous times on this forum everyone on the right loves one candidate, then fox pushes another and now he's the greatest person in the world and so on.
It's not just Fox, and those on the right. Until people start realizing that we are being manipulated by the media things will continue on as they are. Why wouldn't the media do anything and everything to influence our vote? They are ALL owned my major corporations that have much to gain by who is in office.

He's a Doctor....not a strong leader.
If you've checked him out like you said you have, what do you not like about his stance on the issues. Can you tell me an issue and what about his stance on that issue you do not like? I'm just curious if I might be missing something. Thanks!
