I don't think I could be either considering I overthink the flaws of both, and all other, sides and end up hating them all.
I like Stewart. Recently it seems like when he can't make a point or is proven wrong, he resorts to stinging personal remarks, like with Gingrich (sorry I can't spell this late) and thus I have moved on to Colbert, who, when stumps, makes an awkward face and keeps up with his act.Bigeyez said:
Lets be perfectly honest though, if you ever need proof that an opinion can be wrong just look at Bill O'... It isnt so much an opinion when they are saying it is the news... its just lies.Obama Osama Llama Diorama said:
And yes I do like Keith Olbermann, I think he is funny and he actually gives proof rather than expecting his word to be enough... I just dont find Bill O's insanity and anger funny, he is just the news world equivalent of a bully and he is Foxs most viewed?! Maybe thats why conservatives look like such massive d*cks?
Bill's insanity and anger are what make him the inspiration for Colbert. As for Conservatives having a bad rap, that started back in the fifties, when Southern Democrats switched sides and turned the Conservative party into hate spewing, intolerant bigots and religious fanatics.

I'm definitely a moderate/centrist. The ideas of liberal and conversative are necessary, but the degree to which the US is split by bipartisanism is really bad for the country.
According to one of those online test chart things, I'm a moderate liberal populist (go figure...).

I can't entirely tell exactly what I am on the political perspective but I like to think of myself as a moderate although everytime I express my views on something the person I happen to be having a conversation with points and calls me a republican :\
Well okay I may sympathize with republicans more although they been nothing but a grand disappointment for the last several years, however I firmly find that at the very least they're getting a few things right, even if those things are really just general majority beliefs and not policy...
To some incredibly small degrees I have to agree with liberals on a few things like say... homosexuals and marriage. While I do hold a belief that the word "marriage" is one reserved for religious purposes I don't believe the rights that go along with said word should be withheld from people of differing sexual preferences because honestly, I had a friend who made the point that two men can love each other just as much, moreso even than a man loves a woman and we don't really have any right to deny them happiness.
I could go on all night but I need sleep for a rather long trip.

I'm a conservative, I love Bill O'Reilly, and Rush, and Hannity, Glenn Beck and Fox news. I don't know why you people always say they lie. It has been proven several times that the mainstream media have a liberal bias, yet they all lie and say they don't.
The trouble is that the extremes on both sides ruin the primary message for each group. Liberals make it their mission to annoy the public to no end with their "save the environment, man" and "the government is bad - unless its giving us money!" crap, whereas the right shows its "religious piety" by bombing abortion clinics and hating on homosexuals.
These were the intended goals of each faction by the end of the nineteenth century, before it became tainted by partisan bull:
Liberal - One who would advocate universal freedom and individual liberty, with emphasis on a free market economy and guaranteed civil liberties. Looks to a large, bureaucratic government to ensure one man cannot become too corrupt.
Conservative - One who would advocate a return to "simpler" times with fewer problems, but less civil liberties. Freedom is ensured by a smaller government designed only to protect its citizenry. Apart from providing a common defense, the goverment does not intervene in an individual's private life.
OT: I'm a moderate

I am moderate, Ill just list out my stance on some issues
Iraq War: I think we shouldent have gone in the first place, but we are there now and we must finish the job.
Abortion: I dont like it, but the goverment shouldent have say here, except for a ban against partial birth abortions, except for certain circumstances,
Immigration: Yes on Legal, No on Illegal, amnesty for anyone here, if they pay taxes, and get naturalized and documented.
Gay Marriage: I dont care for it, but the goverment shouldent have say here.
Global Warming: I am not convinced it is manmade, but we should take some steps just to be safe.
Nuclear Power: Yes, we need it it, its clean and its efficient
Affirmative Action: Fuck It
Gun Control: Less regulation because gun control dosent work in the first place, but I do think that automatic weapons dont need to be in the hands of civilians.
