please don't tell me you are foolish enough to sit there and tell me that Fox News doesnt lean to the right like a funny car that just lost the #2 cylinder (see how i did that

) =....i'm not denying the fact that the big 3 are very liberal, but i am smart enough to form my own opinion regardless of which channel i am watching so i watch whichever channel is providing the best coverage of the story i am interested in
Well said Mike.
Its funny. The conservatives bitch about liberal media, but Rush has been #1 for years in AM talk, O'Reilly claims he is #1 in cable talk, but the mainstream is liberal? Huh? What? AM is free, and cable "should" attract those that can afford the luxury. ABC, NBC, CBS, have all been around for ever, stood the test of time thru many administrations, crooked and straight from both sides of the aisle. FOX has never hidden their bias.
Everyone who leans a bit left of right is:
A: Pro-Abortion baby killer.
No, I would never want my wife or gf to have one, but it isnt the governemt, or my place to say if my neighbor does. That does not make me PRO-Abortion. It is called pro-Choice. Keep religion out of fundamental law, and Roe V Wade is correct. Introduce religion, and you now have another matter. Religion should have no way, shape or form towards shaping law.
B: Fiscal matters
Yes, Democrats want to raise your taxes.l How else are we going to pay for what we have spent?
Right now, we are spending at an outragous amount, but taxes are low. How? We do not have a credit card that has no cap (in fact, the WH just asked the Fed to up our debit limit, not sure if they did) When you buy something, be it from Sears, or Raytheon, you have to pay the bill. We are currently spending $1 1/2 million a minute ing Iraq. We are over 9 TRILLION dollars in debt. A brunt of that has happened in the last 6 years and is continuing to grow.
C: Immigration
No. I do not agree with open borders. But, what can we do right now? As long as business employs them, and the only punishment is that HR has to go to work on Saturdays to replace the ones that the INS got, no big deal.
Try fining the companies that hire them $10,000, for every infraction. Bussing the physical violators without penalizing the companies that hire them is pretty messed up. See Swift Packing. Lots of arrests, very few fines.
The idea of a wall along the border is a failure. About what, 500 miles, half of which has been tagged, on both sides, no doubt.
D: Legal avoidance.
This White House has actually tried to tell us that the VP's office is not a part of the Executive Branch, well, then they were, when subpenas started flying around. As for GW's latest resigned AG, well, he cant recall. He might recalling resigning, Scooter, Ahbromoff, Duke, et all are only camoflauge. This part could be its own thread.
E: Bush Hater.
Yes. I despise the man.
He has trampled our civil rights, (2 provisions of the Patriot Act have just been ruled unconstitutional), with FISA.
We are chasing our tails in the Middle East, and it is becoming a financial folly with no end in sight.
The Religious Right? Gone. People like Rudy, Larry Craig, and Ted Haggard have left the right wing without the moral majority to assist.
Most religious zealots will probably sit this one out, thank God.
