Now we know why you like it.

I believe this is about Jay's jealousy of Murdock. The "Rocks" money heydays are long gone and they were just as ruthless as Soros and his ilk. Let's just get rid of Jay and do us all a big favor.....

It would be interesting if all the cable news networks, talk radio, political blogs and websites went down for a week. People would actually have to think for themselves.

Senator Rockefeller (D-WV) comes from several generations of Republicans. His Uncle Nelson was governor of NY and Vice President. His Uncle Winthrop was governor of Arkansas. His Uncle David was a banker and member of the Trilateral Commission. That's definitely NOT a long line of progressives.

A strong and loud opposition is one of the main elements of a healthy democracy. Why is the left so into tyranny?

"SEN. JAY ROCKEFELLER (D-WV): "There's a little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC to say to FOX and to MSNBC: 'Out. Off. End. Goodbye.' It would be a big favor to political discourse; our ability to do our work here in Congress, and to the American people, to be able to talk with each other and have some faith in their government and more importantly, in their future."

There's a video here:

RealClearPolitics - Video - Sen. Rockefeller: FCC Should Take FOX News, MSNBC Off Airwaves

When is he up for re-election?

John "Jay" D Rockefeller IV is the "dumbest" of the Rockefeller kids. His dad sent all the boys to take over states. West Virginia got him.
