[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 1993758, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Ahhhh.... .....there's nothing like gun forum pontification in the aftermath of an election, which in itself is an explosion designed to destroy. But, what really gets destroyed? Likely, the truth. There has been talk among some that there is a fourth quintile of voters that can have a major effect on an election. Many view this group as those that vote on a candidate based on superficial reasons instead of reason. Not many here will remember, but back when Nixon debated Kennedy, Nixon declined to allow makeup to be applied for the television debate. Because of that, Kennedy looked more fit, tanned and natural than how Nixon looked. Even in this years debates, there were different outcomes in opinion of who won the debates, based on whether those opinions were based on television viewing, radio listening, or transcript reading. Shoot....the fourth quintile may even choose what a candidate's hair looks like rather then their political philosophy or experience governing a nation/state. As for Rush, of those that have trashed him so badly, I wonder how much of his show has anyone actually listened to and observed. In the industry of talk radio, a host needs to acquire an audience that will listen to him (or her) for as much as 6 to 8 weeks before the listener actually "gets it." A typical listener can go from being a curiosity seeker to a thoughtful listener to an irate opponent because of what has been heard and then end up being a committed advocate after they have listened enough to really get the full measure of the radio host and his message. As for the OP's first posting, let's face it.....it was the New York Times. Another of the waning industries in this country because they are having trouble getting ad revenue and reader subscriptions. Oh, and yes, I am one of those guilty of being involved with gun forum pontification. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
