More liberal here at CM, but there are a number of conservatives and libertarians, too.

I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that most members of collar me re more liberal than conserevitave?? I mostly watch FOX but read a lot of papers on line from all over the country. I am a rare union member Republican . My mane conserve is the sucurity of this Country. I'd much rather have George the 2nd there instead of Al Gore>>>>>> 


I have found that Collar Me members (collectively) seem much more conservative than how I perceive the majority of the country to be.  For some reason, I was expecting the opposite to be true but the left side doesn't seem to  be overly represented  around here.

I wish Al Gore were President, I wish Al Gore were President... I wish Al Gore were President  <clicks heels three times>

Start a thread on how much you like GW Bush, and you'll see the left come out......



popeye1250 -> RE: Where do you get your news? (8/6/2006 7:22:10 PM)

Yes Lorelei, I got that impression too. Lots of Conservatives in here! Seems the Libs just don't know how to have fun! lol
I'm pretty much an Independant voter myself. I don't like Bush or Kerry.
So, I can give both sides hell.

You think I could actually start such a thread?  lol, I didn't think so.  I would just feel so.... so dirty.

Well Oz is probably the only place Al Gore would have a chance to be president. He didn't even win his own state.

Well, some "dirty" is good, but there are hard limits [:)]



cuddleheart50 -> RE: Where do you get your news? (8/6/2006 7:36:10 PM)

I am very liberal.



SirKenin -> RE: Where do you get your news? (8/6/2006 7:50:50 PM)

I am a centrist.  I feel like I am amongst a very tiny minority here.  The greatest majority swing too far in either direction.  Their ridiculous biases prevent them from having a civil conversation or reaching any compromises.  Oh well.



Dauric -> RE: Where do you get your news? (8/6/2006 8:09:41 PM)

I'm a moderate, but not a centrist. I find extremism, even the extreme of maintaining the center at all costs, is inflexible and incapable of seeing options. Mind you, while I find extremists visions of reality to be a sort of "Hell on Earth." dogmatic centrisim is just a "Heck on Earth."

I just have a problem with dogmas. They're the easy solution, always pick the same door #1, #2 or #3 regardless of how well it really works. I think the airshaft in the ceiling is a completely viable option (but then again maybe I play too much Splinter Cell). If I have a sledgehammer and/or a sawsall I'l make a new door. I'll go where I think is the right place to go, based on what I know to be behind the wall of course.

Just my $0.02,

Dauric.

Oh Estring...  it seems we just don't agree about anything on any thread...

I suppose I shouldn't comment on the fact that Al Gore actually won his own country, as I know where you  stand on that issue.



Estring -> RE: Where do you get your news? (8/6/2006 11:15:57 PM)

It's funny how if enough people repeat a lie, it becomes the truth to them. Do you really think that if Al Gore had won, all the liberal newspapers like The New York Times wouldn't have broken the story? Every newspaper who investigated the election results came back with the same conclusion: Al Gore lost, any way you counted. Get over it because you need to come up with another excuse when you lose again in 2008. 



Littlepita -> RE: Where do you get your news? (8/7/2006 4:43:49 AM)

I get my news from FOX, then my Dom reads me news from CNN. I also get it here at CM and I have another much more conservative (yeah Christian) site that I get my news from. I like to hear both sides of the issues and then decide for myself what I think is true.



NorthernGent -> RE: Where do you get your news? (8/7/2006 5:16:24 AM)

Mistress Lorelei:

I agree completely. I joined here about a month ago and I assumed that the vast majority of people on here would lean towards the left. The reason being open mind, exploration etc - not just the lazy, narrow-minded, reactionary views on life. You know, people able to show charity, compassion and empathy. How wrong can a man be - some posters on here would fit quite nicely into the devil's backstage party in hell and actually upstage the devil and send him packing with his forked tail firmly between his legs.

On the subject of news reporting for the British - I'm not convinced with the BBC, after all they are part of the establishment and they refuse to give us a balanced view of the US. They continually paint the US as a country of imbeciles because they want us to believe there is no left wing politics in the US i.e. they aim to make any domestic opposition to Blair's policies seem futile because all of the US is intent on the slaughter. In terms of television news, I personally prefer Channel 4 and newspapers is The Independent by a mile.

Regards

You thought you might find that here?  Really?[;)]
Nah.... BDSMers are the worst of all.... lol

No news is good news is probably the only policy that will keep us sane.

Yep, not too many lefties here.  Sometimes I think I have been transported in to the midst of a living, breathing Rush Limbaugh show... with Jerry Falwell as a guest.

In a way, it's nice to know that people anywhere, regardless of some major differences politically, can sometimes (used loosely) share common interests that unite them at other levels.  I have encountered some great people here, to the left, to the right, and all areas in between. 



juliaoceania -> RE: Where do you get your news? (8/7/2006 10:08:14 AM)

Sometimes I get current affairs information from books (Sinergy just gave me The Bush Dylexicon to read on my trip home for example. I like to read the Wall Street Journal because it is useful to go to this paper to get the inside scoop as to why things are happening in the world because investors are looking for the bottom line, not the spin about the bottom line. Information about mergers is helpful to find out what is going on in the world too. I love Democracy Now for noncorporate free thought. Cspan is very good, I love Washington Journal. I have taken a long break from current affairs because it bums me out, although I can sense the news junkie in me is about to emerge once again.



caitlyn -> RE: Where do you get your news? (8/7/2006 10:25:47 AM)

To me, it's not what you watch, listen to, or read ... but how you filter it. If you ignore all the opinions, conjecture, and "analysis" and stick to cold hard facts, you can get pretty balanced reporting from nearly any source. Most online sources will state a cold hard fact, actual quote, actual event ... and then tell you their opinion on why it's happening, why that person said what they said, or what they think made the event happen. Ignoring this last part is usually best, or at least reading it for what it is.



NorthernGent -> RE: Where do you get your news? (8/7/2006 10:35:00 AM)


dark,
 
When will I learn eh? More shattered dreams and broken promises. On the plus side, I'm an optimist by nature so I'll cope through the realisation that even such a lifestyle can not escape the grubby, little clutches of the right.
 
But, I'm sure the aforementioned qualities are here in abundance - just a case of digging beneath the surface and sorting the men/women from the boys/girls :-)
 
Nice shocked look.
 
Regards
