an obama victory also means congressional democrats will now actually have to develop a strategy – i.e. they can no longer rely on the old standby “Bush sucks” as their answer to everything.

that’s right, now the democrats have to actually govern. do you trust nancy pelosi to lead? i don’t. she couldn’t match wits with a dirtclod and has the emotional depth of a comatose eggplant.

One party rule is ruinous, as explained at this link:

I think the biggest division in our country has been the straying away from the original meaning and limitations of the US constitution by the elite in law making and in the courts. This lack of respect and knowledge of the constitution has created the most rabid conflict in our country and among our people. We no longer share a common understanding of our own government founding document and individual freedoms. We no longer share a common respect and support for it. From there, we share nothing in common with one another – politically or socially – across party lines. That common creed understood and shared by the vast majoity of Americans in both political parties, used to be “liberal.” It is the power of that creed that has held together the Republic.

Now “liberal” has progressed to be socialist and that ideology is in conflict with the constitution socially, economically and poltically. For one who sails a political and social ship within the boundaries of the constitution – a classical liberal – there can be no compromise with those who reject it.

So does that mean I’m just seeking validation? I don’t think so, since I was a Liberal myself until about nine years ago.

As for not addressing an issue, some of that has to do with what’s being emphasized or not outside of the blogs. One hardly hears anything about illegal immigration, but the right’s position on it isn’t embarassing. It’s just that Obama and McCain are fairly close on the issue, except McCain doesn’t want to give them driver’s licenses. So, no controversy, no political story.

The right is very good at castigating their own. They don’t shy from issues. The biggest disadvantage they have this year is that the left is very much monolithic, and the right is not. So, I’ll stick with mostly right-leaning sites, thank you, and scan all the RCP stories.

Actually, I like this article. That’s exactly why I read PJMedia. I think your comments about liberal sites being light on facts is just a manifestation of your media bias, based on what you read. I mean, I think *this* site is equally questionable, and frequently wrong.

You really have to step outside of yourself to realize that maybe you don’t have the necessary perspective to understand your own views. I still think that a lot of the info on PJMedia is rather transparent and desperate opinion, but then again, I always have to take into account my media bias.

All you have to do is look at what gets reported. There are so many hugely important stories that get totally ignored. So much for getting a conservative opinion on a certain issue – if it’s too damaging, or there’s no way to spin it, it gets ignored. You get things like that at KOS as well. We should just be getting our news from non-partisan sites.

If that is the case, then there won’t be a need to leave comments, right? All comments will be “Brilliant!” or “100% on the mark”. Think how boring that would be.
