Republican

FOX (because its the only one that's right of center), MSNBC (because it is considerably liberal-see: Keith Olberman).

It is best to get both sides of the news. I don't do CNN because they are boring, elitist AND obnoxiously liberal (See Cafferty, Zahn, Peterson, Cooper, Greenburg or any other reporters who use to work-and might as well still be working-for the Democratic party.)


"Liberal because I care" is like calling yourself, "Nazi because I'm a Zionist." Everything liberals do hurts the economy, the little guy and creates injustice.

And as far as the Christian=liberal fallacy, even if Jesus would have supported killing babies just to create sexual unaccountability, Mafia-style labor unions, frivolous lawsuits, punishing people for success, the bible is clear about having different expectations for politicians than common folk. Clinton's eight-year non-response to Al Queda, campaign financing from Anti-Christian, Communist China and his appeasements for North Korea would not be rewarded by the Christian God.
 
Please stick to the survey or PM me if you have a problem with me personally. I'll address your comments via PM.

There is a Starbucks across the street from a Starbucks! And ladies and gentlemen, THAT is the end of the universe." - Lewis Black"
