I love how your hate for those who think differently from yourself apparently allows you free reign to use a homophobic slur in the middle of your spittle-flecked rant.

Trump is doing quite well among blacks, thank you very much. If our nation can stand eight years of a far-left divider and fanner of flames like Obama, we can stand a single term of Trump. You know, sometimes the other party DOES get to win. I think you really don't understand this. Especially the part where you call Trump a Republican...the GOP establishment hates his guts just as much as you do. Now there's a wacky situation - both party elites have much more in common with each other than the people. Sad it's come to this.

It's time to start thinking about emigration. Where do you plan to go in January 2017? Canada? France? There's a whole world out there just waiting for you. And when you come back home in January 2021, you probably will have learned quite a lot about America and why people like you are total shitheads for being against it.

FOX News definitely isn't balanced, but it's more balanced than the "we need more government control and bigger Congress-controlled programs"-biased CNN or MSNBC or ABC or CBS.

You must be joking. The myth of the "Librul Media", still?

The media in this country are vast corporations, more often than not owned by even vaster corporations, all thanks to the scourge of deregulation. Fox Noise is merely the most blunt in its editorializing for corporate causes. That the moronic Tea-Birthers have been given all the airtime they want should be evidence enough that this imaginary media-bias for liberal causes you speak of doesn't exist.

Now if you want people who are definitely biased in favor of, say, a strong public option for health care, you might want to point your neocon finger at the American public, who are clearly biased toward it -- by 3-to-1.

"In any health care proposal, how important do you feel it is to give people a choice of both a public plan administered by the federal government and a private plan for their health insurance--extremely important, quite important, not that important, or not at all important?"

Extremely Important: 58%
Quite Important: 19%

That's 77% in favor. (Put that in your .sig and smoke it.)

As government grows, individual liberty wanes.

What codswallop. Situation A: you're paying through the nose to a profiteering private health insurance company that will do its best to avoid helping you. Situation B: you have better coverage, provided for less money, through a program run by your government, that is legally required to help you. Now, which situation gives you more liberty? I don't know about you, but I'll gladly trade in my "liberty" to get raped by a corporation for the liberty to live my life without worrying about being financially ruined for the rest of it because I got sideswiped in an intersection.

Just more some interesting (and sometimes scary) information. Not actually that site, but found it on a link from that site is interesting site about senators approval ratings. One of those scary things is the infamous Ted "bridge to nowhere" "internet is series of tubes" Stevens has the 28th highest approval rating of the 100 senators :-(

And all of it is local. Between numerous corruption scandals, the most unpopular governor in the nation and a general anti-incumbent feeling in the country I'm sure all Ohio officials aren't feeling too comfortable. Nothing like some election year tough on sex offenders laws to attempt to gain some approval. Generally, I consider any law passed in an election year to be pandering and this doesn't appear to be any different.

Me and the other 2/3rds of the country. Deal:

Are you on crack? Warner's approval rating is at 63% and trending up [source]

Bush, in contrast, as an approval rating below 50% [source], lower according to some sources.

Warner would make an excelent candidate - Virginia has the strongest executive branch in the country, giving him a strong background and good experiance. The GOP lacks an obvious successor, unless Cheney quits/drops dead before January 2007.
