How is it 'biased'? I never said I think the Republican party is more dominated by extremists than the Democratic party - which seems to be the question to which you are referring. Nor did I said the Republican party is 'dominated by extremists' I said that Republicans seem to ignore the extremists, which could be perceived as approval. The difference in the pols is 7% and given the margin of error could be as little as 4% difference. And, finally, as much as you think it does, it still has nothing to do with what I said. All joking aside, I am really starting to think you have a reading comprehension problem. > > You are taking a stance that republicans don't handle nut jobs but I'm > > showing you most people think the Dems do a worse job than the GOP.

The Democratic party should have called Hank Johnson as idiot for thinking Guam would tip over. I do not recall any Democrat speaking out against that. the Republican party should have said that Akin was also a moron. Neither did. Both are guilty of allowing these idiots to overshadow their party. > > > > > 'Forced out of office'? Who was that?

It was a criticism, admittedly, based on my perception. If that is an 'attack' in your mind, then you have 'attacked' pretty much everything not decidedly 'conservative'. You frequently use hyperbole like this to try and make your point, or twist someones words or meaning, It rarely, if ever, works and serves no real purpose that to perpetuate your reputation as someone who dislikes others with varying opinions who resorts to name calling and distorting facts when they have nothing left to support their position. -- Scott Stroz --------------- You can make things happen, you can watch things happen or you can wonder what the f*&k happened. - Cpt.
