This is less of a question and more of something which I hope will start a conversation. Republican or not, is anyone else fed up with how even though almost all media cooperations are biased towards the left, people still flip out when they hear something from Fox News because it's majority is Conservative? Everyone else can have their Democratic bias, but as soon as it's a Republican bias, well that's just wrong!! Why is this? You don't typically hear Republicans flipping out over a Liberal comment someone made at ABC. But as soon as Bill O'reilly opens his mouth, it just makes Fox seem even more despicable in many Liberals' minds.

I thought Liberals were supposed to be full of understanding and open mindedness, and that we were the ones creating stereotypes. Maybe it's just me, but it seems that lately many left wingers have begun to stray away from what makes Liberals unique (and attractive, in my opinion).

Discuss!!!!

Ok last political question...but I really want to understand this...because Canada isn't much different than the USA but nobody really sues one another here. I don't know if it's because we have insurance which covers us for a lot of things (ie Workman's Comp for injuries, private insurance, long term disability, auto insurance, etc. etc.) or what.

But in the USA it seems you can't open your mouth without fear of being sued. Someone slips on your driveway and you're being sued. One child hits another, and parents sue....this is insane.

Don't you think that somehow this has to change? That courts and judges need to make a point of dismissing ridiculous claims and banishing these money hungry lawyers who just profit off of people's miseries?

I mean am I missing something here? Why is America like this?

I mean if I would have sued for a kid slandering my daughter all over the internet the judge would have taken a strip off me for wasting his time with that nonsense.

This notion was actually brought up by a liberal local radio personality when trying to have a discussion with his more moderate co-host. The one guy was trying to explain something the city was doing, which seemed to be perfectly sensible and was met with very little opposition, but the lib could just not get it. He told the other guy he couldn't even hear words, just like the teacher on Peanuts. I just wondered if a lot more libs had this unfortunate affliction as well. Also, when you read, do you just see little scatches like Woodstock made? That sure would explain a lot of things.

Maybe it is the people I am around, but I find that most people are not the religious zealots to which most politicians pander. Nor do most people care if their elected officials believe in god. Similarly, I know no one who is shocked by bad language. Who are these religious pseudo-pious people and where do they live? I grew up in the midwest and south, where the media would tell you they dominate, and in my experience they are the minority. Why is this non-existent group of people running our country?

It starts with loudmouths like Bill O'Rielly demanding a crack down on sexual predators and strict ironclad zero tolerance laws, and somewhere down the line we end up with this:

Seems he's trying to label himself libertarian, when really he's just another uber-conservative with a hidden agenda.

This is the time to make your voices heard, and to make it happen....so what do you see wrong that you want fixed by whomever you elect next?

Frankly, what I see wrong that needs to be fixed is the divisiveness of the people.

I don't understand this referral to one another as political beings rather than people...you know what I'm talking about...all this name calling of "you republicans" or "you democrats".

"YOU" are your neighbours to the left and to the right of you.

If you act divided, so will your politics be divided. So I think the time has come to build bridges between the two.

This is what you need to look for when you vote for your new president.

TWICE today I read people saying that it would be cruel to do what we need to do to win the war, so we are trying to do a delicate balance. SERIOUSLY? Since when do we try and 'delicatley balance' something in a war? Now, don't get me wrong, I am against war. But, if you are for it, why aren't you for doing what it takes to win? All's fair in love and war, right?

They are all pretty intelligent and articulate...forgetting about parties at this point...just based on the individual...which one appeals to you more?

Wouldn't it be cool if they all had to work together...a waste when just one has to win.

That our troops EVERYWHERE need to come home? He says that a presence of the navy next to Iran is provoking, as well as a presence in the persian gulf. He believe that troops remaining in Germany and elsewhere should come home. Do you agree?

Or at least most of conservatives behave that way.Other than overthrowing Saddam (not a big deal militarily), and allowing the people to vote in free elections it makes one wonder how illogical your party remains.
