Dems are fighting for their political life , The Roosevelt Democrates are dying off . Others ( my mother , 79 ) are starting to see that things have changed .
The Dems are not the same party of 60 yrs ago .
The Socialist / Liberal wing has taken over And folks are stating to think for themselves a little .

So you are saying that you listen to Rush (Pain Killer) Limbaugh and Bill (Caribbean Shower) O'Reilly Correct?
So you may hear both sides talk but only listen to "Your" side...
If you were listening to both sides you'd know that
the president has authorized torturing of Enemy POW's.
He has revoked habeas corpus
He has authorized Haliburton No Bid Contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
There were no WMD's in Iraq....
Iraq has no previous ties to Terrorism...
Iraq is now in Civil War....
He declared a Global War on Terror while ignoring the genocide in Darfur by Islamic Militants...
Refuses to disarm himself and Israel with Nukes while demanding that Iran and North Korea not have any....
shall I go on??
Oh and Mark Foley was molesting a teenage boy while all the Republicans were obviously informed and did nothing...
At least Monica was an adult!!

Your statement is completely wrong. The "news" you watch is FOX and your talk radio is all conservative too. You folks are the ones only listening to your own points of views.
Studies have shown that the more educated a person is, the more likely they are to be liberals.

And who do they listen to?
At least where I live, talk radio is All conservative ALL the time.
And, most Americans get their news info from FOX (meaning that FOX IS the mainstream media.
So, it looks like liberals must have to research and think for themselves, while conservatives think what Rush and Sean tell them to think. And, that definitely means conservatives are less well informed.
It's hilarious the 2 big 'idea' men for conservatives are guys who flunked / dropped out of school.
That explains a lot, I guess.

I love this question! So then, am the best person in Jonestown because I drank the most Kool-Aid?
Most informed is not best informed, dude.

Depends on the Republican. If they only watch Fox News, read Ann Coulter, and listen to Rush Limbaugh, they're just as bad as the Democrats who criticize all three of the above without being open-minded enough to check them out for themselves.
Any person who gets ALL sides of the story is better informed, whether they're Democrat or Republican. I've known uninformed imbeciles on both sides, as well as some who make me scramble for an intelligent opposing argument.

Everyone on the planet "generally only hear[s] their own side talk."
Watching the news will net you little actual information after peeling away the biases and flair.

I love talk radio! Sean Hannity is my favorite!
That's not all I listen to, though. I read the newspaper, listen to the news. I believe most people are not informed, though.

Being informed has nothing to do with the party you belong to, you need to look at all issues with an open mind and then make a decision.

Republicans are not better informed; they only hear what they want to hear from biased talk radio hosts and proceed to pretend they're informed.
