The fix is in in the house. Congressional districts have been so jury rigged that no real change will happen. Thank stupid state legislatures for destroying our democracy.

Aren't you right-wingers getting bored out of your minds already by this?

Basically, Fox News is desensitizing the public of any of those issues. The result is people just stop caring or listening. Most because of complete boredom.

Case in point: The nonstop topic of the past two weeks is Obama lied about keeping your healthcare.


At what point does repetitive propaganda work to desensitize the public?
Repitition can be used as a form of torture and Faux news is tortuous to watch, if you are not a mindless right wing bible thumping gun nut ideological bigot living in a bubble. If you switch over to Faux News in between other TV, they are ALWAYS repeating the same talking points ****. It's very apparent when you wait in longer intervals, maybe five days, and then tune in to hear them still repeating the same garbage.

conservatives live in a fantasy world. They keep being proven wrong by reality yet it doesn't stop them from believing.

The ACA disastrous rollout very well could be damaging for the Democratic party, but instead of focusing on a SURE winner because it is true, the conservatives want to say President Obama lied and blah, blah, blah another dead end issue, because as soon as people say well what happened and the attention turns to the actions of insurers many of whom are attempting to lie to their customers it won't be pretty.

conservatives can't seem to get out of their own way even on a slam dunk story such as the complete failure of the rollout of the website and the inability of people to sign up and see what they can or can't get. That is a REAL story and issue that conservatives should hammer. Instead they go the fantasy nonsense route.

The fact that none of this bothers you is bothersome. And it's not just Fox news reporting on how bad Obamacare is and the lies on top of lies that Obama spits out. Go ahead and believe whatever you want...at this point you obviously don't care about what is going on in this country.

It takes the intelligence of a lab rat to post a "He Lied" thread...As the old Spanish saying goes-

"They are in their Glory"
Wow I have a major problem with this comment... Original thought???? The fact that you don't question ANYTHING that Obama does or say, what does that say about you? That you and many posters on here will defend him despite some major concerns by majority of this country. That to me is so dangerous. No one can ever be that perfect! I for one had many issues with Bush and not happy with ALOT of things he did. By not speaking up on any concerns is basically saying that you go along with whatever is "spoon fed to you!"

To me intelligent people ask questions, not blindly follow...

Nah think some are wet behind the ears. Think some have it very mixed up for they are the ones believe u me who live in a fantasyworld.

And some PREFER to live in the real world, and they know BS whey they hear it. Problem is too many of your think you know it all? And you don't Obama has you pegged pretty damn good. So he can act on his many many many deceitful lies.

Fox News did not say that Romney was going to win. It was certain commentators/guests ON Fox News. If you can't figure that out, I don't know what else to say.

Also, Fox News was among the first to call the win for Obama (which many in this country now regret).
