>Sir, if you support GW Bush, you are no moderate. I don't know where you live but where I live, supporters of Bush are well to the right of center........usually on the radical fringe. It's interesting, but the phrases I hear most often from Bush supporters that I know (and I only know half a dozen or so) are "I know you know a lot more about politics than I do, but..." or "I don't know much about what's going on in the news, but..." Around here, they're not on the fringe; they just don't know much. Of course, I know a lot of Kerry supporters who don't know much either, and it pisses me off, but a larger proportion appear to have some idea of what's goin' on. That's, of course, only representative of people I know in the NE. -Z

You said: I would find out the next day from the mainstream press that FOX was wrong. That is the first clue. Five liars do not make a lie the truth. That is why they are called the formerly mainstream media. As for me contradicting myself, please show me where I have done that and I will try to avoid doing that in the future. Every time I cite a source that you deem to be not part of the leftwing press you reject it. Thus the contradiction. , I have lost any objectivity, understanding and willingness to compromise. In the last 4 years, the right has taught me that they don't play by those values You recently made a comment about the Florida election of 2000. You chose to tell the Democrat lie rather than use the truth. The left is the one playing dirty pool. You have Mikie Morre, moron.org, UnAmericans Coming Together, Service Employees International, Media Fund, Joint Victory Campaign 2004, ... The Democrat attack machine has not stopped since November 2000. Nancy Pelosi unseated Dick Gephart because he was not vile enough for the Democrat Party. Tom Dachle has invented new avoidances of The Constitution to attempt to thwart President Bush. The 24/7 attack has come from the left with their FMSM allies providing cover. The fact that you claim the direction of flow is the other direction proves beyond a reasonable doubt how far out of the mainstream you are. Sir, if you support GW Bush, you are no moderate. I don't know where you live but where I live, supporters of Bush are well to the right of center........usually on the radical fringe. Yes, I know you are from the North East where Socialism is not a dirty word. I come from the other 95% of the country where it is not highly regarded. If you think that Bush is a conservative, you are wrong. You should leave your enclave and venture out sometime. Take a driving tour across the country and talk to people in diners, gas stations and barber shops. This may sound quaint to you, but it is where you can talk to real people. Along the way you may discover that both a hair cut and a wholesome dinner can be bought for under five bucks. If you gave the real people a chance to express their opinions without identifying yours you would think that over 90% of the people you met were rightwing whackos. Of that 90% I am just a little to the right of center. As a member of the right, I cannot avoid the liberal press. I am forced to seek out conservative sources. This is a fact. Fine. Its a free country. I and millions just like me are voting with our eyes. The FMSM are eliminating themselves. Why is Fox the most watched? It is because it serves those who are disenfranchised by your spin sources. A conservative news station would experience great success if anyone had the guts to try it. Thank you for the intelligent discussion.
