Although I haven't spent much time on it yet, but so far it's looking good.

What do you guys think?

Where's the one where Obama said that if he can't fix the economy in four years he's a one-term president?

True!

I'm really starting to see that. They probably looked at the first page and made their decision from there. What I like about this site is that they have political views from different states.

The number #1 name for male babies in Texas is Jose.

True.

How long will Texas be a republican state?

I guess companies hiring all that cheap labor down there will eventually bite them in the butt.

Hold on there pardner!

No one said that the facts presented were wrong.

Surely even liberals can see the flaw in the presentation, however.

It's as much about what is not shown as what is.

Not a single Obama flip?

Yeah, that site is about as unbaised as Hannity.

Sorry, I was referring to the front page. I didn't do a step by step review of the whole site.

But that just further showcases my point. 4 Romney flips of various degrees on the front page. Zero Obama flips.

Now, for your next assignment, how many "mostly false", "false" or "pants on fire lies" are attributed to conservatives and how many are attributed to liberals on the front page?

Don't worry. I do not believe you will see the plainly obvious even after that.

I see what you are saying, and you are right.

It's wrong of that site to have only those views on the cover...but how do we know those aren't randomly generated each day?

No wonder this country is a mess if people are not willing to delv past the cover of everything.

I think it is human nature to judge books by their covers as it were but that's not it in this case. Instead when a site proclaims truth you expect it to rightly not be a one sided affair.

That would be like saying that Foxnews is fair and balanced just because they proclaim themselves as such.

I agree with you.

The views on the front cover are randomly generated though, I just reloaded the site and this was the first view expressed.

A clear thinking person with principles they believe in can cut thru the BS like a knife thru butter. Some dope on TV or the net won't make you believe or disbelieve what you already know to be true. ( CW--- Rachael Maddow...likes it, good one, now THAT's funny, I don't care who you are. That's how I judge my sources. :) )

Ok, fair enough.

This coming from a person that used the Heritage Foundation as a factual source.:whistle::grin2:
