Do any Republicans agree with this liberal source?

Oh Jack, so now youre quoting me.  The difference between republicans and democrats is that republicans will stand up for what they believe in even if it goes agaisnt what other republicans believe in.  I admire them for standing up for what they believe in, unlike the dems who will just spout party line and never go agaisnt another dem.\n\nYou are so closed minded when it comes to the news. You say you wont watch tv but yet you get your news from where Jack?  Left wing websites.  Now thats fair and balanced.  I despise CNN but I watch them regulary so I can get different views on issues.  I dont get my news from ONE newsource like yourself.

Give it to em Brit. You can't get a straight answer out of a Conservative Neocon Republican. What they say is all crap, and they sound programed by Neocon Oxycontin drug addict Rush Limbaugh. They will tell you the American Civil War wasn't over Slavery. I am a Yankee that is true, but I am a Liberal Democrat and I don't listen to these peoples crazy talk either. Republicans are racists and bigots, and they aren't afraid to say so. This has been their demise of power in America, and Congress is getting voted in November, and they are all out. America will start living in a Democracy again, so don't give up on us, we are not all the same.

I see you adopted the maturity of others, "repug's"\nI guess the question is "do republicans follow blindly?"  I'd say no, there are issues that I disagree with republicans, gun control environmental policy, but they are coming around on the latter.  But they do represent me better than quasi-socialists, I mean liberals.  So there's my vote.\nPerhaps you can turn the question around and ask do liberals follow the platform in a dogmatic fashion?  I very rarely see a challenge from liberals on liberal position.  And some of their positions defy any reason.  There's blind faith.

Yah by all means lets keep this lie going. I don't think everyone has heard it yet\n There is no liberal media bias. This is one of the BIG LIES told to keep people from questioning our government.

The Liberals probably support YA! lol

I know the previous answerers will not probably read my answer so its meaningless to direct it to them, but to their claim that the media is liberal, here is my rebuttal:\n\nFirst, the media companies are not non-profit organizations. There aren't that many diverse news/media companies in the first place and those that do exist are under a few corporate umbrellas that donate to the Republican party. The people who run these companies are rich, privileged men. They are also pretty intelligent. They are not as stupid as Ann Coulter. So they keep a low profile and they let their company take the garb of being liberal. Wolf in sheep's clothing, shall we say? The "bias" is kept "liberal" for a reason. I mean come on, if you went all out and claimed the media companies to be conservative would anybody trust them anymore? Yeah right! So this is a very subtle move which my republican friends do not have the acumen to understand. So you build trust among the liberals by pretending to be their friend, and slowly build up your case. These are not foolish people after all.\nSecond continuing on the thought of corporations that exist for profit: who gains when these news companies make money? When you watch the news, buy the magazines? I don't. I am sure most of you don't either. The owners and executives do. And what is the political affiliation of the executives of these companies?\nI will let you look up Michael Ganzi of Hearst Corp. (that owns Popular Mechanics amongst a host of other publications), Rupert Murdoch of News Corporation (Fox, Harper Collins), John Engler (member of Board of directors of Dow Jones, Republican governor of Michigan) to name a few. These are people to make the decisions how and what to publish through various media. Just these 3 companies Hearst, Fox and Dow Jones control an ENORMOUS segment of the media industry. AND they are all republican controlled.\nThird, these businessmen are not stupid. If they produced ONLY left wing news then the right wing wouldn't buy it. If they produced only right wing news then the left wing wouldn't buy it. And that would hurt half their business. So they spread their products evenly, some left, some right. New York Times right, New York Post left... just mix it up, have people buy it, get the checks from the bank. And if you can mix in a little controversy, by making a leftist slant, then it will sell more!!\nEventually where does the buck stop? At the executives' desk. And they are all right wingers (I prefer wrong wingers as a better descriptor).\n\nAnyways, I am sure my republican friends wouldn't understand all this logic. They are simple minded people and don't really follow the intricate ways the GOP top brass think and act.\n\nSo how do we counter the right wing media?\nUse the Internet. Blogs, personal news, word-of-mouth is the new face of news. The printing press ushered in Renaissance and was instrumental in the dissemination of ideas by people like Voltaire, Locke, Rousseau, Descartes etc.. that led to the French Revolution and eventually emancipated Europe and America. I say the Internet is the printing press of this age. Blog, write, disseminate. There are some intelligent republicans who do this as well. But most of them are not there yet. The liberals at least have that one advantage: of education. Put it to good use.

Nice rant.....\n\nShould I address all of the fallicies one by one or will it be okay for me to just say that your 'facts' are questionable at best and some are plain wrong.\n\nBut alas, the selective memory and closed mind of liberals is at work again.

Yes I listen...I am an open minded liberal and sometimes I even agree with him.  People bash what they do not care to understand.  I think your question is very important.  Do people with their staunch opinions actually check out both sides?  The educated ones do. GREAT QUESTION.

Well, I agree with what you have said. \n\nI look forward to a response from someone who considers themselves Liberal to address each of your points, not just one. Two responders never addressed any. Unfortunately that is what tends to happen most of the time when you ask them direct questions.  \n\nThis is the perfect opportunity for them to explain their viewpoints.

freetyme813 ... "we have you to pay our taxes" .... such an honest answer from such a typical republican...\n\nLadies and Gentlemen... this is the prime example of your leadership... and I can think of no better reason of why to not vote Republican at the next election...

That is F-ing great,, right from the the source this republican beast claims as it's forefathers! Ha! If that was broadcast today people would be calling it liberal media propaganda. Great!.

OMG! "The document is only available to the certain members of Congress and the Home Land Security."?????\n\nIt is answers like these that EVERYONE should take shame in. There are good liberals who believe that the Democrats are right and can make good arguments against the Patriot Act. I don't necessarily agree with them, but the arguments can be made. Political debate is the cornerstone of our great republic and answers like the two before mine do a great disservice to our nation and the liberal cause.\n\nIf you are a liberal, I challenge you to challenge these two answers.\n\nThe original text of the Patriot Act can be found in a PDF file here:\n\nhttp://files.findlaw.com/news.findlaw.com/cnn/docs/terrorism/hr3162.pdf\n\nAn online, searchable version can be found here:\n\nhttp://www.asksam.com/eBooks/Patriot%5FAct/\n\nAnswerman and Margret_Moses - please take your nonsense elsewhere. People are actually trying to expand their horizons here.\n\nEDIT: You liberals are absolutely amazing. Here someone is trying to expand their horizons, and you CONTINUALLY spread VERIFIABLE out-and-out lies. If you absolutely insist, I will provide your .gov link to the document:\n\nhttp://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=107_cong_public_laws&docid=f:publ056.107.pdf#search='text%20of%20patriot%20act%20.gov'\n\nThat is the website to the Government Printing Office (GPO). Official enough for you?\n\nNow, open version and open the link to the findlaw.com link I supplied. Notice anything funny? HEY!! IT'S THE SAME DOCUMENT! Same number of pages, same words on every page, the same document.\n\nAs I said, I can PROVE what I post here ... How are you going to prove your statement, Margret_Moses ... ummmm, I mean Larry_Joe.

I haven't read the article, but I think it's probably discussing the "legislating morality" (like the taliban did, if you know anything about that) that the Republican Party is working on... not giving condoms to the poor and eliminating abortions...\n\nbut it's kind of funny when you think about it... who is going to be having more babies? The poor that can't afford birth control or to get an illegal abortion overseas. Who will be voting democrat when they can't get a job or any social support? The poor that were created by the Republican laws.... good luck winning anything in 15 years for the next 50... hahaha

I think if done professionally Republicans can raise good points. If you are looking for them on here, on either side, you will be sorely mistaken. People let their emotions control the real need for solution.

wow, look at the answers.  Someone telling you to read an article in rolling stone (since musicians are the best source for politics), and someone telling you to watch michael moores movie.\n\nUnfreakingbelievable!  Is this where you liberals get your information?  From a movie, and music magazine?\nMovie is full of lies.  That is a fact, and has been proven so.  That is why it does not carry the name of 'documentary' anymore.  Rollingstone is as far left as you can find, so no, I will not read 'a good article' out of there.  what makes it a 'good article'?  Because you want to believe it?\n\nbtw, whoever said approval rate was 22.  we know how much you love your polls (many proven to be bias), but it was never that low.  last week it was around 40.\n\n---\n\nwhy do you liberals ignore the military votes not accepted in florida?  You find a few old people who say things like, "I meant to vote for Kerry, but I voted for Bush".  Somehow when they were looking at the ballot, they voted wrong, but they remember voting wrong so clearly.

A true liberal isn't consistent.  Rosie O'Donnell rode hard on Tom Selleck about his support of the NRA, but turns around to hire an armed body guard.\n\nNow if a true liberal was consistent they would have to
