i am in no way defending the iraq war, but to be fair the bailouts (engineered by the democratic party) cost more than the entire iraq war...
It is obvious, you don't recall Bush demanding passage of bail out (and he made that pretty clear on his address to the nation). More than the bail out, it is how it was handled that sucks. That, and the suggested "threat" to pass the bail out (link).
I was wondering yesterday why liberal talk radio is never nearly as successful as conservative talk radio. Do liberals prefer other media to the talk radio format, or does NPR suffice for most? I'd love to hear any answers from liberals or conservatives.

this has a very easy answer: it's usually the conservatives who work, so they can't watch TV, so they sit in their car and listen to radio. the liberals are either rediculously rich or very poor so they don't work at regular jobs, therefore, more of the libs sit and watch TV than do conservatives
Also, there might be another explanation to this... (it might insult some people, sorry)
talk radio has to be spontaneous and can't have a script. The man/woman has to have something to say all the time for two three hours straight. It is very hard for a liberal to do that because they are too used to have things scripted for them (some might say it's because they can't think for themselves, but that's just mean. Maybe they just can't express what they feel as readily as a conservative does)

This is your answer: because liberals believe in truth. whereas, the neo-cons, republicans are always stirring a hot pot on the stove, either by making news with false and manufactured stories, making up boogermen who are going to come and get us, or just by fabricating lies, why? it increases their listening base, and it's great for their sponsors, which equates to big $$$$. it's kinda like picking up the enquirer, because people with enquiring minds want to know. it's great fodder for the neo-cons, they live by lies and deceipt, which in turn sells. the hell with the truth. some who are not free thinkers, people who can't think on their own follow people like limbaugh and o'reilly because they are followers of absurdity.

That is complete and utter BS and you know it! Liberals do not believe in truth, they believe in keeping people down with thier ideas. To promote any other group OTHER than Americans. Things like the fairness doctrine and affermative action are the kind of ideals they stick to
No again. why must I keep correcting you? didn't you watch fox news and listen to limbaugh the day of 9/11/2001? they were banging the terrorist drum, and after that, banged the drum for the invasion of iraq with the WMD thing. you know, I don't type bs, and you know it, because it is the truth.
