What would Alex Keaton of Family Ties do? The New ...

What would Alex Keaton of Family Ties do? The New York Times asks this question. I doubt they will publish my own comment. So I thought I would ask it here. Alex of "Family Ties" was not written in Alex's voice. It was written in his parents voice. Family Ties was as cynical as what Goldberg just wrote of the values Alex stood for. I find it amusing that Goldberg of the times feels that Alex's voice wrote Alex's voice. Alex was a puppet for the left to laugh at and to have feminine moments of love for. What made the show so annoying to people like me was it often felt like a cartoon. Did it have enduring moments? Yes Michael J Fox was a superb actor. Yes... they got my attention. So did my favorite show at the time. It was called "Sledgehammer". It portrayed a man who was in love with his gun. Sometimes I wish I had one too so I could tell the NYTimes what I really thought of they're attempt to character assassinate John McCain. But I'm not a terrorist... I don't kill people, and hence the difference between reality and FICTION! Still I think Goldberg is being very witty, even if I don't agree.

I think the article has an interesting point to it. Tt shows how both the Democratic and Republican parties have changed over the years and how people who may have been clear supporters of one side a few years ago might change their mind today. The analogy to "Family Ties" may not be accurate but I think the point is in place.

Moretoknow you are right people are more confused and flakey nowadays, thanks to mass brainwashing by liberal media with articles like this vs. A deep embeded logical knowledge of what is right and wrong. I have not read this article but if it's a charecter assaination of john mccain, then it sucks and it's inacurate, because "alex" would vote for mccain and every republican candidate that came after him.
