| | It'd be easier to take you seriously if you utilized proper punctuation and grammar.
All of the "news" channels are bullshit. They're either right wing or left wing, nothing "fair and balanced" about 'em. What you have to do is read between the lines and make up your own mind.
If you ask me, the left has just as many "answers" as the right. Neither affiliation gels with my personal beliefs, I've NEVER voted for someone without having misgivings about them. That is the flaw in the Two Party System that this country has built for itself... there's no middle ground. At all.
So far, the right wing has done a good job of stealing my money ... giving it to people that don't need it. Michigan had a great program going, it was giving job training to people like me who are unemployed and can't afford to go to college. They deep-sixed that program in favor of bailing out people who can't handle their mortgage payments. I'm so disenfranchised by the whole thing... it pisses me off. People getting the aid live in houses that are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, whereas I go out every single day and apply for jobs that JUST AREN'T THERE. And this program... was designed and put into place by a DEMOCRAT (who I didn't vote for, by the way). Jennifer Granholm is a gigantic piece of shit.
Also, dunno if you've heard, but the mayor of Detroit has been bleeding the city dry, using public money to fund his liking for expensive goodies and nice vacations. He also wasted taxpayer money in a wholly embarassing scene involving a lawsuit, racy text messages and the unlawful firing of two police officers that wanted to go public with their knowladge of the mayor's (and his chief of staff's) escapes. And yes ... he's a DEMOCRAT.
I don't even know why I'm wasting my time with this ... as you obviously have no real brains to speak of.
If you were to put me into a political group, it'd be VERY LIBERAL. However, I don't EVER vote for someone just because they're running for a particular party. I look into what they stand for, what their policies and aspirations are, and their political history. I actually INVESTIGATE the people who're going to be making my decisions for me, and if I side with a person happens to be a Republican then so be it.
Let me know when your testicles drop and you're old enough to vote; maybe then you'll be able to understand all of these Grown Up-type things. Quote:

My testicles dropped a long time ago, in fact they're still dropping. Just because you can't find a job doesn't make you an expert on anything, especially my maturity. You can thank George Bush for the loss of 8,000,000 jobs and the terrible state of the economy, the 9 trillion dollar national debt, the 3-5 hundred thousand dead in Iraq, the 40,000+++ dead and wounded Americans and geeze, I'll bet you won't hear that on Fox News. I do get my info from an assortment of sources. I am intelligent enough to know when the bullshit is deepest though and for that award, Fox wins hands down.

| | And CNN doesn't provide us with an equal amount of bullshit? It doesn't really matter WHERE I get my news, it matters what I take away from it.
And I don't think we can blame all of our economy's problems on one man. It was a group effort, the squabbling in the HoR and senate between two inept parties full of people that're only interested in lining their own pockets had a LOT more to do with it than the man with the title. Placing the blame on one person is downright irresponsible and a cop-out to boot.

I actually hate that asshole more that I hated Nixon and I never thought that would happen. Nixon kept my brother prisoner in Viet Nam for four years before ending the war, I really hated him and his bullshit "I'll stop the war" lying crap. It took him four years and that happened to be the four years my brother was a prisoner. So for me to hate Bush more is saying a lot.

And on that note, MM, if it IS true that your brother served in Vietnam I have to say I understand why you're so disgusted with the republican party AND with Bush in particular ... as the war in Iraq seems to remind people of the senseless and overall pointless venture the Vietnam War was. The Iraq war makes me very, very angry ... and as good as it would feel to blame Bush for it ... I have to remember that congress had to approve it before it came about. The Vietnam War didn't have that, congress had no say in dispatching the troops in the first place. Continue to be bitter, because you - if anyone - has earned the right.

The Media did to Nixon exactly what they are doing to Bush. Many of the same players are involved too. The true hostages in Vietnam were all the young people who didn't volunteer to go, but were drafted ... thanks to the Democrats. In true form, in the minds of the liberals, the god-state reigns supreme over the individual ... and therefore, the draft. The draft was finally ended under the Gerald Ford administration, only to be revived by President Jimmy Carter in 1980. Background of Selective Service Selective Service System: History and Records
