Except war, that is....but that's a whole 'nother conversation.

75 senators voted for the authorization to go to war , 1/2 of the dems voted for it - why didn't they listen to the elder statesmen of their party (kennedy + byrd)?

Or their constituents who were right all along?

You ask a good question.

Durbin voted against it, which is all I could ask for...and all I would expect, since Durbin generally does the right thing IMO.

there was overwhelming support for the war in 2002/2003. it was nothing like 50/50. as a nation we rushed in without thinking through consequences just as we may try to rush out without thinking through consequences.

we were badly misled about the need to go to war, but that doesn't change the fact that this was a war supported by most americans, including me at the time.

it's puzzling that anyone thinks otherwise. it wasn't that long ago.

But..to answer your question...I would think NPR is fairly unbiased, but reports on more issues that tend to fall in the Left camp vs the right. But that's totally IMO..
Science Fridays on NPR????

Neither "side" should miss this.

People like to forget their little errors.
I was totally convinced Iraq had WMD's...
Totally...

Its rather embarrassing looking back on it.
I just did not think WE could make an error
this massive.

the worst part for me was my girlfriend at the time was convinced the wmd's were bs and i was convinced she was a conspiracy nut.

the president wouldn't lie.

i still think she just got lucky. she also believed in aura's.

I did/thought exactly the same thing.
Only I argued with my "boss" Principal.

Past tense because she no longer believes,
or she is no longer your girlfriend? If it's the later...
Very California.

In a country pretty much split down the middle politically, why then are conservative columinists, radio hosts and TV guys that hugely outnumber anything Liberal? Because the right listens to that stuff and the left doesn't...maybe it's a personality thing? And I answered your question with a question

And I think Bill Maher is brilliant and hilarious, but I still won't make time for that.
I have a thought on this one (bolded):

Often times liberals use self-righteous indignation to
argue with conservatives and it leaves many conservatives
looking like they are amoral beasts. These talk shows
teach conservatives how to argue with liberals. Its like
a Conservative Arguement book for Dummies, only on the
radio.

So now I set the liberals up with a fat pitch...
Making Conservative Arguement for Dummies, one in the same.
Spare me.
