Will there be any balance voices to these two liberals or will the extreme left-wing only be the viewpoint WLKY gives?

Uh, where did anyone say we’d be partisan?
Get over yourself and your east end housewivery.
If you could read, you’d note that we said political parties. Meaning more than one.
Context clues, people. Use them.

P.S. When are Republicans going to learn to get off their high horse and stop assuming ridiculous things with absolutely nothing to back those beliefs up?
And when are Republicans going to get over this bullshit of “liberal” this and “liberal” that?
See? Goes both ways.

All I am saying is will there be a conservative voice to balance out your liberal views? Is this too much to ask these days? I mean, even The View has ONE conservative to balance out the other three. Maybe this makes no sense to you since liberals think they ARE the only viewpoint. Liberals just don’t get it.

Great job, Jake. Good to see you get the recognition you deserve.
Don’t interview me.

Hey, GOP Girl — go read another blog or watch another station. Nobody’s holding a gun to your head!

Balance???
An even more powerful statement from 3 veterans on the real reason for the short term stability in Iraq:
The following is an excerpt from an article by Colin H. Kahl on the Anbar Awakening in July/August Foreign Affairs
-U.S. forces had to convince the Sunnis that they were not occupiers-that is, that they did not intend to stay forever. Here, growing opposition to the war in the United States and the Democratic takeover of both houses of Congress in the November 2006 elections were critical. Major General John Allen, the Marine Corps officer responsible for tribal engagement in Anbar in 2007, recently told me that among Sunni leaders, the Democratic victory and the rising pro-withdrawal sentiment “did not go unnoticed… They talked about it all the time.” According to Allen, the marines, from top to bottom reinforced the message sent by the Democratic takeover by saying, “We are leaving… We don’t know when we are leaving, but we don’t have much time, so you [the Anbaris] better get after this.”
As a result, U.S. forces came to be seen as less of a threat than either AQI (al Qaeda in Iraq) or the Shiite militias-and the risk U.S. forces would leave pushed the Sunnis to cut a deal to protect their interests while they still could.
As Major Niel Smith, the operations officer at the U.S. Army and Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Center, and Colonel Sean Macfarland, the commander of U.S. forces in Ramadi during the pivotal period of the Awakening, wrote recently in Military Review, “A growing concern that the U.S. would leave the Sunnis defenseless against Al-Qaeda and Iranian-supported militias made these younger [tribal] leaders [who led the Awakening] open to our overtures.”
In short, contrary to the Bush administration’s claims, the Awakening began before the surge and was driven in part by Democratic pressure to withdraw.
Colin H Kahl is an Assistant Professor in the Security Studies Program at Georgetown’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and a Fellow at the Center for a New American Security.

We don’t get WLKY in southern KY, so I can’t watch, but congrats anyway.
Shameless plug: If anyone reading is in the London/Corbin area, I will be reporting the Whitley County results on Choice 101.9 FM Tuesday night.

Clark,
As we said, it will be live. Both on the television and the web.
So people anywhere can watch.
11 Clark // Nov 2, 2008 at 4:24 am
ah. I shall watch online then, after I get back from the courthouse. WLKY on the computer, and cable news on the TV!

Will anyone report that the candidate for 4th District Council in Louisville is so uppity that he can’t even put a sign up in his yard for John Yarmuth. Geez, you’d think all the help Yarmuth has shoved off on him, the least he could do is put up a yard sign.
