A major objection from the rightists is the fear that Elizabeth Colbert Busch will have an outlet for publicity and airing her views on her brother's show.

Guess they cannot stand the thought of a Dem candidate having a means to access the media (though his one show is far smaller than the entire False News network that shills non-stop for rethug candidates).

A level playing field - the GOP likes that as much as Faux Nuze is 'fair and balanced."

JeffJenk, are you seriously arguing that the right controls the media?

Because everybody knows American media companies are owned and operated by hippies for the sole benefit of hippie shareholders who hate capitalist principles.

Also, Rush Limbaugh is an Obama sock puppet.

Jeff....I know your not the brightest bulb in the pack but the left have plenty of "outlets" to voice their opinions. How about MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, Philly.com to name a few. The right has Fox news and that is it. I have an idea, how about worrying about your party's denial to the mountain of debt...7 trillion and counting under this administration. Or the stagnant economy , the increase of people on welfare, food stamps and the decrease in take home for all Americans due to stifling taxes. Any answers to these issues????

Folks who think the mainstream media is "left-wing" or "liberal" have no idea how narrow our political spectrum truly is.

Jeff is correct but he failed to add that the right are all morons. They need the misrepresentations from Fox to feed into their neoconservative lunacy.

What's really funny is that the best the "traditional family values" party could dredge up is a guy who chases every skirt not on his wife. Oh but maybe they have "chronic fornicator conversion therapy" in SC.

Interesting picture for a story about the GOP worrying about Colbert giving his sister a bump in the upcoming race.

Colbert Busch is the Democrat party's ideal candidate. She loves children and education and women and abortion and puppies and unicorns.

More republican victimization. Poor Poor republicans, victims of the left wings press, left wing college professors trying to brainwash their helpless kids, burdensome govt regulation, taxes, science (excuse me, global warming conspirists, stem cell researchers, believers in darwinism, the menace of the hidden gay agenda...
how do they muster the courage to get out of bed in the morning? They should all be awarded presidential medals just for showing up!

if this is the best candidate the GOP puts up and are willing to support, they are doomed. If the GOP is hell bent on changing its image and appealing to a broader spectrum of people this isn't the way to do it. Whether you're red or blue, no one likes a cheater.

It's apparent more then a few of you are clueless(surprise!!!) about election law/rules/tv etc and how she and her brother will both have to walk a fine line during this race.
