99% of the American media is corporate controlled and extremely right wing. Isn't it great to hear a "fair and balanced" debate between the right and the extreme right
Corporations own the Republican Party and most of the Democratic Party....turning the Democrats to the right and the Republicans to the extreme right
There are perhaps 50 Congressmen/women who are not corporate owned right-wingers....the ignored Democrats (ignored by the corporate controlled Democratic Party and corporate controlled media)
The truth is....... The left is practically powerless in America today
The country has been controlled from the far right since 1980
The conservatives (both Democratic & Republican conservatives) have done a lousy job in almost every aspect of governing the country.....too busy helping their corporate masters prosper
The conservatives have destroyed our economy, our foreign policy, our freedoms, our rights, our Constitution
But the corporate media is so strong
And the conservatives are so...um...deluded
that they are still pushing the lie that "liberals ruined America"...with our "liberal media"....and our refusal to "support the troops" and our overall "liberalism-communism"
The biggest problem with America since 1980 is the corporate control of our government....creating an imbalance heavily in favor of the right.
Liberals returning to power will be the salvation of America...and the world
But to blame us for the conservative mess since 1980.........one must wonder if mind altering drugs are involved to maintain such beliefs

They are also missing that they have completely torn this country apart, from attacks on the constitution, to welfare for corporations, to cutting VA hospitals (currently treating 105,000 Iraqi vets, and have run up the largest deficit in the history of this nation($3 1/2 TRILLION), while they give tax-cuts to those who average income is between $800,000 and $2.4 MILLION a year!
Iraq had nothing to do with WMD's, terrorists or the attack on the trade center. They had nothing to do with any of them!
What they have done is attack a sovereign nation, killed thousands of her residents, and let a sectarian civil war get out of hand.
Even their own commanding General in Iraq says there is no military solution! Yet the body bags keep coming home daily!
You have made us the laughing stock of the world!
By the way, if BUSH is so AFRAID of Iran, why is he still selling them F-14 Tomcat parts? Isn't that a bit stupid?
I forgot, Reagan sold them weapons and aircraft parts as well, after they killed 242 Marines in a barracks blast in Beirut in 1983 (On Reagan's watch)!

Hey Lindsey,
You are right. people really give you (personally) a bad time when you state your opinions I have noticed. Republicans just can't stand the fact that people still refuse to bow down to George Bush. I just got reported for calling them wimps! REPORTED! To me that proves they are wimps. And afraid listen to anything we have to say because they can see at least nuggets of truth in it. It makes them mad because they are still trying to justify this guy. GB. I will never use the term President for him, since he won the election illegally. They just try to lay everything at the doorsteps of Liberal honest Americans, because otherwise they would HAVE to be ashamed of themselves for all the lies they tell to cover for this guy. I don't think conservative right wingers can admit when they are wrong. It's one of their weaknesses.

Most (both sides) people allow their politics to get in the way of their eyes. Dems blindly assert that pulling out of Iraq will bring peace when common sense says that the country will descend into absolute anarchy. Reps will say that things are going fine in Iraq and Dems are blowing it out of proportion. Both sides ignore things they don't like and try to spin information to favor them and discredit the other guy. (And I don't know who could call President Bush a liberal and keep a straight face).
My opinion is both sides need to shut the hell up and try to be constructive on things. We are all still Americans. Just a little cooperation would handle most of our issues. Instead both sides have to go on calling each other names and totally discounting the other's viewpoint.
Unfortunately, I must agree (with other Cons) that Libs do more insulting than Cons. (I'm not saying Cons don't insult, just see more insults coming from the left than the right) It seems that if you disagree with a Lib, you must be simple minded or stupid or whatever insult comes rapidly to mind.

Oh quit it. I get tired of being called a neo-con and a chickenhawk. The libs do more name calling on here since that's their only defense. As for your stand on Iraq, if we withdraw now we are going to get it on our soil. Aren't you the least bit concerned about that? You are acting like a typical emotional woman that is crying pull out since our men and women are dying for our freedoms. It's war honey, what do you expect?

Isn't it obvious?
Minipulating facts is the only way for them to look good.
the sad thing is they step on and sling mud at the people who don't try to make themselves look good. (a.k.a. non-conservatives!)

Wow! Bravo! What a great mind you have! NEWSFLASH!! Liberals voted for the war in Iraq! And I take it your idea to help the iraqui's is to cut and run?? Explain (if you can) how leaving a country who's as fragile as they get, is going to help??
I'm wondering exactly how old you are? Do you have to pay taxes, ect.? Do you pay for healthcare? Do you even know what this war is about???

THE COOL THING ABOUT BEING REPUBLICAN
You can have your VERY OWN set of facts in a totally separate alternate reality!
In Republican World (TM), outing a CIA agent to punish her husband for speaking out against Bush is a clever political maneuver, while voicing any criticism of the war in Iraq or the war on terror is blatantly unpatriotic, treasonous and outright indefensible.
In Republican World (TM), LYING UNDER OATH to a grand jury is a meaningless technicality and 'criminalization of politics' if the perjury relates to a war costing tens of thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars, but the same offense is grounds for impeachment if it is about an affair between two consenting adults.
In Republican World (TM), doling out top FEMA jobs to your unqualified cronies is just good manners, while pointing out that their incompetence may have killed thousands is engaging in a nasty 'blame game'
In Republican World (TM), lying about WMDs and 'fixing intelligence around war plans' that ultimately killed 2,000 troops and up to 100,000 civilians does nothing to damage the reputation of the US, but a Newsweek article that causes riots and approximately 15 deaths is the scandal of the century.
In Republican World (TM), getting over 200 of your judicial nominees approved while seven of the most extreme and incompetent are blocked is an unconstitutional and un-American farce while blocking or bottling up in committee SIXTY SEVEN of Clinton's nominees was good politics.
In Republican World (TM), your kids won't have to pay down a multi-trillion dollar national debt, only kids of liberals have to contribute.
In Republican World (TM), you get affordable health care and don't have to worry about going bankrupt because of catastrophic medical bills, even as HMOs are recording record profits and are paying their CEOs up to $124 MILLION / year, while at the same raising rates between 15% and 30% year over year.
In Republican World (TM), lying about a ******* is an impeachable offense, but lying about WMD and sending troops to die is the patriotic duty of the Commander in Chief.
In Republican World (TM), a woman with a liquified cerebral cortex is reason enough to get agitated and proclaim to belong to a 'culture of life', while ignoring a whole genocide in Darfur is not considered rancid hypocrisy.
