Q Cubed, having discussed things with you for some time, I would say you are a Democrat or a left-leaning Independent.

you're correct in assuming that i am more left of you; it's tempered by your being on the right, while i'm left of you. most of the big ticket--and populist--items that the left champions, i find myself against: welfare, social security, and affirmative action, for instance.
all told, i'd rather be dead than democrat. parties, i've found, tend to be the worst things to happen to democracies because wherever a party exists, democracy soon becomes paralyzed and permanently seized of some activity or another.
according to the political compass test, i tend to be right in the middle economically, while being relatively libertarian politically.

Clearly, FOX is all but a card-carrying Republican network that would be right of all Democrats and many Independents.

i didn't say it was a bad news source. all i said is that it spins the news it gives in a rightist manner, and to think that it is the sole purveyor of truth while disparaging (what should be) its liberal counterpart CNN is foolish. if anything, one must (not should--one must) consult all the availible sources of information and try to read in between the lines.

However, if Republicans scare you, I should add my counter, Democrats scare me.

i never said republicans scared me.
i said anyone who actually believes that fox is balanced and fair scares me, because they fail to take into account bias--which is everpresent in any news media.
just as i'm scared of people who think that cnn is the sole beacon of solid reporting, or that *nbc, abc, or cbs are completely trustworthy and need no second-guessing.
republicans themselves, if they're the type who blindly follow the party line, they don't scare me so much as disappoint me. democrats who do nothing but spout their party rhetoric disappoint me as well.

ned, defiant: i'm what you might consider an equal-opportunity political party hater.
