Bernie Goldberg is a great guy and a true straight shooter. Is there anyone like him on the other side that will speak to the strain of bigotry on the Left?

i would like to see BOTH republicans and democrats stick to the ECONOMIC issues facing the country-after all, elections are about trying to find leaders to run a country.

and not about running a country into the ground.

Its the crazed evangelical right that is holding this country hostage with ridiculous social issues instead of those economic issues you would like them to be concentrating on. Maybe you are voting the wrong side of the ticket afterall?

I would say there's more like a strain of sanity in an ocean of bigotry.
Now this is an example of bigotry, folks. Just in case you weren't sure.
