Well, their tagline is "News for Republicans, by Republicans". Can't say I am all that surprised by the bias.

Thats unfortunate cause politically i have mainly conservative views, but I'm sure the Republican party wouldnt have any of me in there. hahaha

The Republican party would consider you a RINO these days.

I'd be part of the name only club haha I'm happy being independent

Yeah, you have to be with them totally or you are against them. No room for independent thought there. Further evidence that we need a strong independent party.

Multiple strong independent parties, Reggie. Personally, I think that both the Republicans (who I honestly hope will finally self-destruct, cease to be a major party at all, and give way to a new, less rabidly insane conservative party) and the Democrats have gotten far too complacent and need some fierce competition.

I agree, Dave. The two parties we have now are two sides of the same coin. I just don't see how a new party can gain traction in the current political climate that does very well to drown out competition.

The current two parties have put forth a lot of effort (in some of their only true bipartisan work) to ensure that the rise of a viable third party is unlikely. In Georgia, for example, the requirements to even get on the ballot for a non-Democrat/non-Republican candidate are several times as stringent and onerous. All under the guise of 'weeding out time wasters and non-viable candidates', of course.

Ha! God forbid we get time wasters in office.
