I know this isn't Riverside County news, although I'm sure quite a few Sirius Satelitte Radio's have been sold in the area, but I could resist sharing it with our readers.  Because all of the FCC Commisioners voting on the merger between the top two satelitte companies who voted "Yes" were Republican and all of the the commissioners who voted "no" were democrats, Howard Stern says he will never vote for a Democrat again.

It is a great example of someone who believes in all of the liberal politicians who regualte every aspect of our lives until that regulation effects them.  Then all of the sudden they realize why all of the Cuban and Vietnamese populations are majority Republican.  This Democrat regulation sure seems a lot like socialsim or communism if you have experience either.

Good for Howard Stern for speaking out against the influence of special interests on Democrats in Washington and their over-regulation and anti-business attitude.

Stern on XM/Sirius Merger: 'I Will Never Vote For a Democrat Again'
Satellite radio talk show star cites 'gangsterism,' 'communism' for holding up deal.
By Jeff Poor - Business & Media Institute

Sirius Satellite Radio host Howard Stern supports the merger of his network with XM Satelitte Radio and is fuming at Democratic opposition on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) panel.

After FCC commissioners announced they have reached a deal to approve the merger of Sirius (NASDAQ:SIRI) and XM (NASDAQ:XMSR), Stern ranted about Democrats' 'gangsterism' and 'communism' and the obstacles to the merger.

Stern described a phone conversation he had with his agent, who he described as a "liberal Democrat kind of guy."

"I go, 'That's it!'" Stern said. "[I] go, 'You know what Don, I've voted Republican and I've voted Democrat. I have vowed I will never vote for a Democrat again. I don't give a [expletive] - no matter who they are. I don't care if God becomes a Democrat.' I said, 'I backed Hillary Clinton, I backed Al Gore, I backed John Kerry. I am done with them.'"

Stern took it a step even further and called Democrats on the FCC "communists" and referred to their tactics as "gangsterism."

"The fact that these Democrats on the FCC are communists," Stern said. "They're for communism. They don't want to see companies - this is gangsterism. I said, 'This is crazy.'"

The FCC commission is a five-member panel made up of three Republicans and two Democrats. The Democrats include Jonathan Adelstein and Michael Copps. The Republicans include FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, Robert McDowell and Deborah Taylor Tate. Tate had been the swing vote on the proposed merger and on July 24 The Wall Street Journal reported she would vote in favor of the merger.
