But let me ask you both this; would either of you be quick to point out biases from the other side of your political fence, as I did with that Kerry video?

I'm not sure I have a side of the fence. I mean, yes, I have my political predilections, but they aren't often espoused or broadcast in the mainstream media. I think what you may perceive as bias on my part is simply disgust with the GOP...but I loathe the Democrats more than I dislike the Republicans. The Dems sold us out after September 11th. They had a responsibility to provide a counterpoint to the Bush Administration, and they rolled over, time and time again.

And now they have this galling sense of entitlement when it comes to my vote. "A vote for Nader is a vote for Bush! Yes, we've been ignoring you since 1968, but we've got to stand together now. The stakes are too high. We promise we'll take your views into consideration after the election." Fuck 'em.

My "side of the fence" includes folks like Hightower, Nader, Doris Haddock, etc.--people who are fighting campaigns for a living wage, instant runoff voting, publicly financed elections, and the like.
