Thanks for the post. Would like to hear reactions from some of our liberal friends.

Look at Florida: A report of tallies and exit polls by Tim Wise, a Nashville-based writer, reveals that Nader drew only 24,000 Democratic votes, yet 308,000 Democrats voted for Bush! Was it the "Clinton factor?" As if that's not embarrassing enough, there's more: Gore lost the white women vote, normally Democratic votes in Florida, to Bush by 53 percent to 44 percent. If Gore earned even half of these votes, he would've gained 65,000 votes (Nader's Florida total was only 95,000). But, wait, there's even more humiliation: In spite of his terrorizing Social Security spin, Gore also lost the senior vote (those older than age 65) to Bush, 51 percent to 47 percent. If Gore had won Tennessee, his home state, he wouldn't even need Florida! Of course Nader's votes contributed to Gore's plight. Good. Bush should win. Gore and the so-called New Democrats (who promise a "vital view from the center") need to lose. We shouldn't be fooled by the ruse of Democratic politicians being "liberal" or "progressive" and Republican politicians being "big bad business." The past eight years have exposed that scam, big time. registerguard.com

Talk radio is biased in favor of conservatives and Republicans. Fox News is biased the same way. Many conservative publications are biased the same way. Biased conservative publications are distributed in churches nationwide including the one I attend. There is plenty of biased news media. It is up to the individual to recognize the spin. As a liberal, I enjoy listening to conservative talk shows and mentally sorting out the spin.
