\t\t\t\tI never did thank Air America for re-electing President Bush, so here we go, better late than never.<\/p>\n
I believe Air America is secretly directed by a cabal of Republican Party insiders who use it as a tool to discredit the Democrats. Here’s why*:<\/p>\n
\n1. Splitting the Democrat vote worked for the Reeps in 2000, with Nader draining-off enough votes to hand the victory to Bush.<\/p>\n

So along came Air America, the Loud Voice of the Loony Left, complete with a full battery of political hacks, failed comedians, and radio amateurs, Johnny on the spot.<\/p>\n
3. Air America alienated enough centrist voters to hand a substantial victory to Bush and his party as people asked this question: Do I want somebody in the White House who turns to Stuart Smalley and Janeane Garofalo and Lizz Winstead for policy advice? Do the hosts on Air America reinforce the Left’s claim that it deeply analyzes problems and appreciates nuance and subtlety? Are they smart, well-informed people?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
