I ask this honestly and seriously, not sarcastically - where is your position on the spectrum, if you're considering fox middle of the road?

I've said it before, I'll say it again. When any person is too far to the left or right, they can't view the spectrum objectively. Being dead-centre isn't much use either. Is it so hard to have one foot on either side of the fence, and see the valuable points of different perspectives?

(and why do these discussions always end up being left vs right? )

Good points and I try to do as you suggest and view things from both sides but at times its difficult. I still vote for the person who is best and not a straight ticket.

The Dems jumping on the party bandwagon during the Roberts hearings is a good example. When Teddy/Kerry/Hilary start their bs is usually when I get tired of the mele and turn the tube off. Have rarely heard anything come out of their mouth that is anything other than rubberstamping Howard Dean's rampant meanderings...
