The numbers show an overwhelming slant on Fox towards both Republicans and conservatives. Of the 56 partisan guests on Special Report between January and May, 50 were Republicans and six were Democrats -- a greater than 8 to 1 imbalance. In other words, 89 percent of guests with a party affiliation were Republicans.

On Special Report, 65 of the 92 guests (71 percent) were avowed conservatives--that is, conservatives outnumbered representatives of all other points of view, including non-political guests, by a factor of more than 2 to 1. While FAIR did not break down the non-conservative guests by ideology, there were few avowed liberals or progressives among the small non-conservative minority; instead, there was a heavy emphasis on centrist and center-right pundits (David Gergen, Norman Ornstein, Lou Dobbs) and politicians (Sen. John Breaux, Sen. Bob Graham, Rep. Christopher Shays).

Hello, My Older sister, went to a store to copy her SS # her son's SS # (her son is about 10 months old) Her Husbands SS # and Her birthcertificate, that has our Moms SS # on it, well she went to the store to copy those, and i guess she left them on the counter when she paid for them, and she left, (w/o the copies or the originals) And she went back to the store (I'm guessing after she got home) and realized she forgot them there, she went back to the store and said she left them, there and they can't find them.

I have a room that I am renting out in my house at a discounted rate in exchange for them to serve as a maid to clean my house, "Live In Maid". Because I am not paying them I am hoping they are not an employee, more of a renter... How does this work? And what forms do I need to protect myself?

Ok, Hillary and Obama are not likely electable.
Chances are they will split the Democratic party because most of American wouldnt vote for either one.
So will those votes swing to Mitt, McCain or Rudy?
Would a Romney/Giuliani (vica versa) ticket be strong enough to defeat the present choice of Hilary or Obama?

I say it is a lie for propaganda! How is it that suddenly because we leave Iraq the terrorists will come here? If they can just come here then, why are they not here now? The facts are that the terrorists want to come here now to America and are trying to get here. We have defenses that keep them out now, and that will not change if we leave Iraq.

Lou Dobbs demands that Jury decisions that he disagrees with should be overturned by Congress. What gives him such authority? The Jury did find those guys guilty. Lou has never said that he has any evidence that they are not guilty. He says they should be let go because they tried to kill a suspected drug dealer. If I tried to murder someone I suspected of selling drugs to my kids, would Lou give me the same kind of support?

This poll confirms what we already know, Liberals are a Miserable LOT. Why?

"Some 45% of all Republicans report being very happy, compared with just 30% of Democrats and 29% of independents. This finding has also been around a long time; Republicans have been happier than Democrats every year since the General Social Survey began taking its measurements in 1972.

Since 1972, the GOP happiness edge over Democrats has ebbed and flowed in a pattern that appears unrelated to which party is in political power.

For example, Republicans had up to a 10 and 11 percentage point happiness edge over Democrats in various years of both the Carter and Clinton presidencies."

The United States is a nation of laws. We believe in our Constitutional rights above all else. If American Citizens were being held indefinitely with benefit of trial we would be outraged. Yet we condone this behavior for detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Now I am not advocating that these people should be released outright, or given the rights of American citizens, but how can we condone indefinite detention in absence of formal charges and trial. How is this different from say the Soviet Union jailing political dissidents in its Gulags? A practice most of us found appalling by the way. Consider the quote below from Commander Jeffrey Gordon, a Defense Department spokesman on the matter and then give me your thoughts.

"The government does not have enough evidence to try the bulk of detainees in a federal court system, yet maintained that releasing them would be foolhardy."

I think liberals would ruin the U.S. We would be attacked and we would not be able to retaliate. Also, the military would be downsized to crap. As well as them pulling us out of every conflict worldwide but to no avail because the terrorists would still attack us and with no retaliation. Look at Clinton, could have gotten bin laden and didn't....U.S. Cole Bombed, and we dropped a few bombs and called it a day.

Or, at least within a few days of being caught? I think one reason the death penalty hasn't been much of a deterrent is that you get to live for many years after you get caught.

At this point the Republicans have proved that there are unwilling to send the troops back home.
Hillary Clinton will get the liberal votes and the women votes.
Obama will get the black votes.
Does this make them a favorite to win?

White Water Hotels here in Arkansas? Does no one remember? This was a land deal gone bad. Someone was actually murdered!!! Just because they cleared them doesn't make them innocent.

Who can tell me why the Clintons were cleared exactly?
