I completely agree with you that we are all in it together, and I wish everyone in this country would consider that first, above all else. The minute we lose respect for each other to the point that we cannot have a reasonable discussion, we're in trouble.
Oh, and while I don't necessarily agree that the media has a liberal bias all the time, I was very interested in the studies done recently about the amount of favorable and unfavorable press each candidate received during this election. I don't know if it was due to race, or due to backlash against Republicans after the last 8 years, or due to liberal bias, or due to something else altogether, but it definitely does seem like Obama had a much easier time in the press than McCain did. Journalists need to examine that more closely and understand why it happened, to make sure they are doing their jobs properly. That said, I think regardless of the media, and regardless of who was running for both parties, I think the Republican candidate was going to have an extreme uphill battle this year. People can argue about how we got where we are, but between the war and the economy, I think a backlash was inevitable. When times are tough, people are apt to vote in the other party, in the hopes it makes a difference.
