Whoops, just remembered Fred Thompson / A-VP Babysitter Poll / V-Chip Fox News Channel, which banned Ron Paul from NH debate

Sure, click.

Ah, shit, I knew I'd forget somebody. For your emergency babysitter for your beloved, adorable little daughter, you can also call Fred Dalton Thompson.

Why isn't anybody responding to the Agence-Vleeptron Presse Campaign 2008 Babysitter Poll? This is really pissing me off.

On Sunday Night, Fox News Channel sponsored a Republican Candidates Debate from New Hampshire, whose presidential primary -- by state law, the first in the USA -- will be held Tuesday.

Fox refused to invite Ron Paul. He wasn't allowed in the Fox GOP presidential candidate debate. Paul has promised, if elected, to stop the Iraq War immediately. Fox saw to it that every Republican candidate in their debate is FOR the Iraq War. They've unified the Republican candidates on American foreign policy -- by locking out Ron Paul.

The debate's co-sponsor, the New Hampshire Republican Party, was ripshit at the sleazy Fox stunt, and withdrew their co-sponsorship of the debate.

I'd like Fox a lot more if they'd just remove that "News" word from their title. Clearly -- as they've done since the 2000 Bush campaign -- Fox doesn't report political campaigns, they manipulate and skew American politics to their right-wing corrupt preferences. Fox, of course, is part of the Murdoch empire, and Fox News Channel is honchoed by Roger Ailes, Nixon's former television adviser. (He tried to make Nixon stop ignoring Pat Nixon in public, and show his wife a little public affection.)

Stop watching Fox. V-Chip Fox News Channel. Don't let it poison the presidential election in your home. FNC is Fair And Balanced, and I'll be singing Rigoletto at The Met in April.

And now a Mitt Romney Moment, courtesy of The Wall Street Journal (now also part of the Murdoch Empire):

Iowa Touches Off a Free-for-All

Romney's Best-Laid Plans
Mugged by Political Realities

MERRIMACK, N.H. -- To get a feel for why Mitt Romney took a drubbing in Iowa Thursday night, consider the reception he got from a little girl in the next battleground state, New Hampshire.

At a recent "Ask Mitt Anything" night here, a nine-year-old girl asked the Republican candidate what is the first thing he will do as president. "I will build the right team," Mr. Romney replied matter-of-factly. "I tend to be a person driven by data and analysis, not just what's political."

The girl looked at him blankly.

Now we return to the Agence-Vleeptron Presse Babysitter Poll. We have added the K-Street millionaire lobbyist, television star, and former US Senator from Tennessee Fred Dalton Thompson to the list of babysitters you can call to leave alone with your precious little daughter for two hours.

An emergency has come up that you have to handle, and you need someone to babysit your precious child while you're away. For two hours, it'll just be the kid and the babysitter alone together.

You're in luck. ELEVEN people are available and willing to babysit your little daughter. You just have to phone and the person you pick will come right over.

You're in a hurry, not much time to give this much thought. Go down the list quickly.

Vleeptron is not asking if you want this person to be President of the United States. Vleeptron is asking a different question.

Do I want this person to babysit my daughter for two hours?

YES NO

Stop blaming FDT for what Fox did.. FDT had nothing to do with that and to be honest all of FDT supporters wrote to Fox also letting them know they were wrong in doing this..We do not agree with what Fox did. So do the right thing and attack Fox, But not FDT. For we backed the Ron Paul supporters to get in the debate, we did not back Fox..PERIOD! get a clue!

well FYI majority of Fred sopporters have also attacked Fox and many dropped our memberships to them, including me. But you RP supporters could have fooled us Fred supporters by the way you use and attack Fred to make your point..:( I hope to be honest Paul out does Huckabee and Giuliani (both big government Bush clones) in NH.

erm....since i am unemployed i have too much time. oh i can finally read all the books by thomas mann and learn spanish and have time to find a new job. those elections are interesting, ober the last few days tv stations from germany and CH have extensively covered the elections in Iowa. since i have to babysit my nephews and nices i cannot anwer the question. but that Mike Huckabee lad is getting on my nerves. oh he seems to be witty and plays bass and all but....is this guy dangerous ??? does he have any chance in the big cities, not just in the rural heartland ? he scares me, i would rather see someone else who is less of a loony as US prez

Jesus, you really need to go back to high school or college or something and learn to read. You can't go on like this ... you can't even get through this campaign like this.

I am not a Ron Paul supporter. If the election were tomorrow, I still probably wouldn't vote for him. But I'm a Vietnam-era army vet, and his promise to end the Iraq war immediately certainly grabbed my full attention, and certainly makes him THE standout in the Republican field.

Hoorah for the Fred camp for objecting to Fox's excluding Paul. That's an interesting piece of news and advocacy which you could have offered without rudely throwing bricks at me. I only know one Fred fan -- you -- and he can't read very well and he's in-your-face rude.

He also doesn't identify himself.

Are you going to go through the whole campaign this way? I'm predicting it's going to be a short run if all Fred's supporters are like you.

Okay, now I have to leave a Comment for a polite, well-read, unemployed guy from Switzerland.

I think that what ABC and FOX have done to Dennis Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter Kucinich and Mike Gravel is pretty much an outrage, keeping them out of their televised debates. Corporate controlled media has no right to decide who the valid contenders are with ten months to go before the final elections. It is a network that is robbing Americans of our right to make an informed decision about who our leader should be. Any way you want to spin it, it's just wrong.

If anyone reading this would like to let the FCC and FEC know how you feel about this, myself and some concerned voters have created a form on our website that will make it easy to do so. Please visit www.everyonespeaks.com and let us know what you think of the place, or better yet, let the FCC know that what ABC has done is wrong.

--End of pitch. Sorry for the spam-like nature of this comment, but we got this website up over the weekend, and if we can do any good whatsoever, I had to move quickly. Thanks and take care.

Note: Hillary made it on Page One of CHs largest tabloid paper today. The headline went something like this: WILL HILLARYS DREAM BUBBLE BURST TODSAY ? Another one went NOW SHE MUST FIGHT (BACK). hmmm i never liked the old bag and just because it is time to have a female prez does not mean it has to be her. that huckabee lad still scares me...not because i am an Atheist, he looks and talks like an Ambassador from the Republic of Gilead. or am i just seeing things that are not there ? in any case you americans need a Prez who can boost the economy (the USD is almost 1:1here in cH compared to the Swiss Franc!!!), end this bleeding war, do something for the envoronment and make sure that the rest of the world starts to love you again. hey, i am currently unemployed, i could apply you know...I know more about World Politics than the crrent rulers, can speak several languages, since i am unemployed i know what the Economy and the poplle need (jobs)and I would singn the Kyoto Protocol first thing in the morning after heving been given the job- oh and i would have a very firm and vetry definitive chat with the WTO and the World Bank before breakfast
unfortunretly fantasy and reality differ. just make sure you do not get a loony or creep that is even or worse than the current clowns in control

Everybody click on Everyone Speaks, his/her site has GREAT YouTube of Ron Paul on The Tonight Show!!!

Then do what Everyone Speaks wants you to do and fill out the petition to the FCC.

Notice that Everyone Speaks is Polite, can read, and left a Link that works.

In the Tonight Show interview, Ron Paul had lovely, friendly, admiring things to say about his Congressional colleague Dennis Kucinich. So I can fantasize about The Mother Of All Odd Couples -- a Kucinich/Paul or Paul/Kucinich ticket to vote for in November!

Yo Pat --

grrrrrr you don't know how jealous i am of your unemployment. you now get to read thomas mann in the original deutsches.

Hillary Rodham-Clinton began her campaign with an aura of "inevitability" about her -- that she was the Heiress Apparent, the pre-destined nominee of the Democratic Party and the pre-destined inevitable next president of the USA.

Now she has to try to slip out of all the chains, shackles and handcuffs that aura has burdened her with. Americans don't like Inevitable Heir Apparents.

There has been a small amount of chat about American resistance to 2 families establishing a presidential dynasty since Bush I was president in 1996 -- the Bushes and the Clintons. Hillary's winning the White House would put the White House in dynastic control for 16 or for 20 years. That's a South American sort of thing, very much not a USA historical tradition.

Who translates Faulkner into deutsches? (My Translator Robot could handle Hemingway.)

Actually, if Hilly serves 8 years, it will be 28 years, but that is misleading, because Bush I was VP for 8 years before that, and was Director of the CIA before that. More than a third of the population of the United States will only have known two families in power. And you can bet your bippy that another one of the Bushes will make a run for office next time around.

The whole pack of them should go away. Experience in this case only means a preservation of the status quo, the broken, corrupt, illegal, immoral governance of an elite class. Hillary will be the new Eva Peron.
