The right wingers at Fox News are discouraging young people from voting.  Media Matters has the details:

Stossel asks why we should care if young people vote: "Young people often don't know anything."

In my humble opinion, the people at Fox don't know anything.

>>>  Mike Papantonio was on MSNBC's ED SHOW and he just called Gov. Chris Christie's attacks on teachers as "reptilian" and  "predatory."  Awesome.  Rotund, pompous, rude Christie is that and more.  Why do Republicans like Christie and Kasich hate public school teachers so much?

***  TPMDC has something fascinating about Sharron Angle:

With the recent news that Sharron Angle, the Republican nominee for Senate in Nevada who is running on a platform of tearing down big government, actually receives government health care benefits through her husband's pension as a former federal employee, let's take a look at some of her best anti-government lines.....

Her declaration that extending unemployment benefits "really doesn't benefit anyone."

She has also said of Social Security: "My grandfather wouldn't even take his Social Security check because he said he was not up for welfare." ....

Sharron Angle is an example of "do as I say, not as I do."
