i am so sick of the "team" mentality on both sides.
for instance, i am a fiscal conservative, right?
but the conservatives in office are spending like drunken sailors.
I read in TIME magazine that FEWER Americans are independent voters this election year than in most recent elections. That is, MORE are loyal Democrats or loyal Republicans, and will mainly vote for their party's candidate.
What issue? I would like to see that for myself.
All the figures I have heard is that roughly 1/3 Democrats, 1/3 Republicans, and 1/3 Independent. In fact I just read this morning in the L.A. Times an article on polling data that supports this point.

heated exchange at 'fahrenheit'?.
exjdub,
The facts are there and pretty damn clear that this guy makes up stuff to fit his political slant and then passes it off as "objective." When he is called on the carpet for it, him and those who follow him like lost little puppies, scream, "Unfair", or "You're just part of the great right-wing conspiracy."
Personally, I have seen enough from people that have posted to confirm to me that Moore is a lying sack of ___, and to confirm my view that most leftist are intellectually dishonest at best, and morally bankrupt at worst.
Yes, I too can't stand what this country has become. I truly wish that we had a viable alternative to Bush/Kerry, but wishing doesn't make it so. Untill those of us, you and I, are tired of the status quo (name calling and partisan bickering), then this is what we are left with. It is the middle that gets run over by the left running freight train, and the right running freight train.
The big question is how do we do it? I don't think it is taking the entire Democrat and Republican parties and jettisoning them. Rather it is taking what is the best of both and synergizing them into one whole that, may possibly bring real change and unity to the U.S.

The truth is, until someone comes up with a viable solution to the current two-party political system in this country, this is what we are left with. Each side (Republican or Democrat having to hold their noses and vote for one or the other).
Personally, I would love to vote Libertarian, if that party's leadership had half a brain.

if you have a different viewpoint from the government in the USA, you are accused of lying and are called a big, fat, idiot, traitor by those that don't like what you have to say.
On the other hand if you disagree with the liberal elite you too can be called"...a big fat idiot."

Exjdub,
Don't you think that a guy that can't get and keep his facts straight doesn't deserve to be listened to?
Or is it that your HATE of President Bush was clouded your judgement?
Or is it my dislike of Moore's politics have clouded mine?
Either way, how many times does someone have to be wrong before they no longer have credibility????????????????????????????????????

bowling for columbine.
michael moore's "bowling for columbine" won the oscar for best documentary.
Actually, I have found one typo in the theatrical release of the film. It was a caption that read, "Willie Horton released by Dukakis and kills again." In fact, Willie Horton was a convicted murderer who, after escaping from furlough, raped a woman and stabbed her fiancé, but didn't kill him. The caption has been permanently corrected on the DVD and home video version of the film and replaced with, "Willie Horton released. Then rapes a woman." My apologies to Willie Horton and the Horton family for implying he is a double-murderer when he is only a single-murderer/rapist. And my apologies to the late Lee Atwater who, on his deathbed, apologized for having engineered the smear campaign against Dukakis (but correctly identified Mr. Horton as a single-murderer!).
Even when Moore is attempting to get "get the facts straight" he still can't get them straight. The Willie Horton ad was concieved by Al Gore. You remember him, the guy that lost the 2000 presidential election according to the U.S. Constitution?

special report is second, abc world news tonight is third, and cbs evening is last.
the results of table 8 show that the los angeles times, the new york times, usa today, and cbs evening news are not only liberal, they are closer to the average democrat in congress (who has a score of 74.1) than they are to the median of the whole house (who has a score of 39.0).
special report is significantly closer to the center than all media outlets except the drudge report.
Maybe I should give you lefties the benifit of the boubt. Maybe you are so used to having a liberal spin on news, that when some one actual just reports it, without a bias (a bias that is reenforced by a study that should almost 90% of news journalists identify themselves as Democrats, and no I don't have that report at my fingertips at the moment, but I will provide it to persons that honestly want the answers) that you think they are "far right wackos"?

Exdub,
Hopefully I can say what I want to say with the understanding that this is not an "ad hominem" against Moore.
Moore, is either ignorant or stupid, with his statement about "flying around" in Air Force 1. The plane is about as secure as it gets. I seriously doubt that it flies anywhere without fighter escort now, and especially that day. I mean come on if Moore is so smart, why does he make a moronic comment like that?
Moore then makes a derogitory remarks about blacks, inferring that the are violent. Now, I am asking you to be honest with yourself, if this statement had been made by, say Limbaugh (who was fired from ESPN for stating that he thought Donovan McNabb was "over-rated"), Hannity, or any other right-wing person had said this the "media" would have been all over them.
These things don't "scare" me, what they do is make me wonder why there is an apparent double standard within the media when it comes to people like Moore. Now I know that you accused me of"crying" about this yesterday, however the question still remains, why the apparent double standard?
LABD
Edited to add: So what if President Bush stayed and continued reading with the kids at the school on 9/11? If he had left in a hurry I'm Moore would have criticized him for leaving and causing panic in those children.
