I've given up on trying to be friends with a few people I know who are Fox addicts, I just don't have the patience to talk to them. These folks I was talking to last night are truly good people, and the definition of independent voters. I don't fault them at all, they just don't have the time to worry much about politics. These are the people rMoney's lies are targeting, and who we need to find a way to educate.
