Dimocrats bury vote on bill to ban 'Fairness Doctrine' !

Just when you thought there was no further mischief that the Dimocrats wreak on America before vacation, the Dim Majority Leader blocked any vote this session on a pending bill which would permanently ban re-birth of the so called Fairness Doctrine.
Don't be misled by the name --- the Fairness Doctrine is one which prevents privately owned radio and TV stations from broadcasting what their listeners want to hear, and what the program sponsors want to pay for. It makes the Feds the Arbiter of what we will hear on the public airwaves......


“With the support of Speaker Pelosi and the majority leader for a return of the archaic legislation that, combined with the support of Senator Durbin, Senator Kerry, and Senator Feinstein, it seems very clear to me that should the next Congress remain in the hands of the Democrats, there will be an effort to restore the content regulation of the so-called Fairness Doctrine to the airwaves of America,” Congressman Mike Pence (R) told CNSNews.com.

Pence further noted that when he added an amendment to temporarily ban the Fairness Doctrine to an appropriations bill in June 2007, 113 Democrats voted in favor of the amendment. But now that that he has organized a discharge petition that would force his bill (which permanently bans the Fairness Doctrine) to the House floor, not one Democrat signed on.
