Rather than blaming everyone else for their frustrations, I think they need to start accepting some personal responsibility for their failures. If one of their ideas or philosophies isn't popular, it isn't because of political correctness, the media, or bias. It's because most Americans simply don't agree with them.
The better question would be: Why did you post this obviously baited thread full of misinformation?

Very good question. I've often wondered myself where they get the idea that us liberals are so gosh darn powerful what with us controlling the media and the schools and the courts et al. Even crazy these same "liberals control the media" people will tell you that "Fox News rules!"

If you buy into the nonsense professed by either mainstream party you are little more than a sheep that is anxious to make it's way to the front of the line for it's much overdue shearing.
One more election cycle like this one and I'll be ready for Radical Centrism or the American chapter of the Raving Looney Monster Party.

That's bull****, NOBODY ******* more about the media than Democrats in reference to FOX NEWS. Come on, let's be real here... Democrats have created entire websites and corporations dedicated to attacking one particular media outlet because they claim it's right wing.

That didn't take long to prove at all.

Liberal idiots are obsessed with Fox News beyond all comprehension, it's quite dangerous and humorous at the same time.

Based on the posts here it seems most of the electorate has already joined.

Don't be silly.


The society and the culture are center right and always have been.

Baited? No, it's a discussion about politics - and a controversial one, at that. It's perfectly appropriate.

I started it because I don't understand why so many Republicans can't accept that some of their ideas are simply not popular with the majority of Americans.

To paraphrase Herman Cain: If your ideas aren't popular, don't blame the media or society, blame yo-self!

Right, why be part of the solution when you can be part of the problem instead?

Your points of view are so biased you cannot even make one post that is not insulting to somebody, though it is usually republicans.
