They do, but point is; there are many more liberal media people out there than there are FOX news types, not to mention FOX news is made up of a cross section of guests and hosts. I know you can't admit that, but it is true.

Active Military turn Fox off, I can give you an expample of about a dozen we know in the military that do nothing of the kind. One is in the mid east right now..

How is Medicare NOT a form of "socialized medicine"?
people pay into it for years before using it for a few years..It is a form of insurance, very different from socialized medicine. Add to that seniors still pay for surgeries, office visits, drugs, etc. It isn't a free ride as some seem to think.

They haven't done anything for the benefit of the country since the first gulf war. They haven't had a quality administration since Eisenhower. And guess what party Ike's lineage endorses? If the party of fear scares America into putting them into the WH in 2012 you can call me a former American resident.
And welcoming back into the fold the very people who called Eisenhower a communist. They haven't got a clue.

I can understand why you don't want to look at the past considering what a fiasco the GOP has become. Seriously, in the past few decades, the GOP does not stand on its own set of values. Rather, the only value the GOP demonstrates is anti-Democrat regardless of what that may be!

What the Republicans fought for in 1993 for healthcare reform, they are now against because it is in a Democratic bill. Perhaps an effective strategy for the Democrats in congress would be to endorse a bill with the opposite of what they really want and then the GOP will actually, unknowingly, fight for what the Democrats really want.

So you plan on moving in 2012, I think Alex Baldwin said the same thing in 2000 or 2004. He didn't follow through, but maybe you really intend to..

You seem to have this weird idea that socialism is somehow free. No, it is not. People pay for it. Like they do for medicare. Which, despite your feeble attempts to prove otherwise IS a socialistic set up.

In fact, I say, reform medicare and go for... Medicare for all!
