Faux News, doing what it does best. You are aware, Ruggie, that they cut checks to the GOP election committees, right?

Funny thing but I worked with a view Russians and Ukrainians over the years.
They resented the democrats for their Stalinist ideas. They changed my political
life forever, I decided never to vote for any Democrat after that experience.
Funny how clear it was to them, but we the free seem to fail in seeing the red menace within.
"Many Russian immigrants to the "red borough" of Staten Island are flocking to the Republican Party, saying that the national Democrats' "socialistic" policies remind them too much of the top-down oligarchy they fled in their native land."
Thanks for the link!

You are aware that Faux News covered 9/11, aren't you? Does that mean 9/11 never happened? You're a retard of magnificent proportions.

apples and oranges, Ruggie. Finding a handful of immigrants and making some sort of suggestion about the Democratic party based on a few opinions is NOT a NEWS story. It is political propaganda, aimed to the gullible. Oh, and for what it's worth, I can find you a handful of Russian immigrants who work for the Democrats here in PA. Proves nothing, either.

Sure you can. You can do this and you can do that. You know Senator this and Congressman that. You are bullshit artist this and liar that. I hope the rest of your party pshaws that article as well. Because that's what the Dems are best at, ignoring facts and what the people want. You only need look at the health care bill to see what the voters really want.

It's not that hard. We have two fellows here in Central PA who emigrated from the USSR back in the late '80's(I think, may have been earlier) that have been involved, on and off, with the Dem Committee for years. My point is that, despite your goofy name-calling, Faux News does just what the alteration of the name implies, they create FAKE NEWS stories. You can piss away your energies all you want by throwing jabs at me, or making some sort of broad implications about a party you do not participate in, but you're still left with a bogus source of information. Further, it has been clearly demonstrated by legal filings(required by law)that Fox News' parent, NewsCorp donates money to further the Republican Party. How does that fit in with impartial journalism? When called on that, you deflect to criticize me and 'all Democrats'.I'm pretty comfortable with my sources, because they are very wide ranging. I read from a bunch of different newspapers(from left to right wing), don't pay much attention to any cable news, and know folks from both parties, some of whom are elected officials. Sorry you don't bother to develop the same information level, but don't try and beat on me for it, because you just look sort of shallow and foolish. Oh, and FYI, I've pretty much severed all official and fundraising ties with the local Dems, although still on board with Obama's committee.

oh, and Ruggie: if you want to read real news, with a right-wing bias, and strongly conservative/libertarian
editorials, one can do no better than keeping this link around:
http://www.theunionleader.com/
FWIW, I've been reading this paper(and used to exchange letters with it's late editor, Bill Loeb) for years.
They, to their credit, actually allow BOTH sides to debate editorials in the comments section without censorship.

Who does the AP cut checks to?
Their rep is worse than FOX and you quote their stuff. BUt wait!!, FAUX news cuts checks to the GOP, yet it owned by Rupert Murdoch?
On 8 May 2006, the Financial Times reported that Murdoch would be hosting a fund-raiser for Senator Hillary Clinton's (D-New York) Senate re-election campaign.[31]
In a 2008 interview with Walt Mossberg, Murdoch was asked whether he had "anything to do with the New York Post's endorsement of Barack Obama in the democratic primaries." Without hesitating, Murdoch replied, "Yeah. He is a rock star. It's fantastic. I love what he is saying about education. I don't think he will win Florida... but he will win in Ohio and the election. I am anxious to meet him. I want to see if he will walk the walk."[32][33]
In 2010 News Corporation gave $1M to the Republican Governors Association and $1M to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which is largely working to elect Republicans this year. This drew condemnations from Democrats and non-partisan watchdog groups, who claimed that it represented a conflict of interest for the owner of a major publishing empire to contribute directly to political campaigns in this way. A spokesman for the Wall Street Journal would not comment.
More apples and horses? Horse apples? S-H-I-T perhaps?

That was nice of you to explain to him Wullie, but he's dumb as feck and missed your point completely.
