    Duke,
    I will agree with you wholeheartedly here. Very few of them represent what I believe, or what I think would be best for this country. Walsh may very well be a crapper of a Congressman, I can't tell you for sure, but from a peak at his voting record, I think he could very well be a GOOD representative... http://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/116545/ .....

    I think that they ALL should be thrown out, and no bill should be written in such length that the people voting for them have to have a group of readers read them, decipher them, and give them a synopsis of what the bill says. All bills should be CONCISE, and in language clear enough that the average high school graduate could read them and understand what they mean.... How can any of them be an "HONEST" representative of the people and cast a vote for or against a bill if they haven't read it or don't understand what it says??? Clever, sneaky lawyers are drawing up most of these bills and sneaking stuff in here and there that has nothing to do with what the bill is "advertised" to be, then stuff becomes law that no one or few really knew was even there.... How the hell is that doing anything but deceiving the people??? I say throw 'em ALL OUT, and start over!!!

    So what makes him an IDIOT Bruce??? He supports Gun Rights, does that make him and idiot??? He supports trying to make our government fiscally responsible, and limiting our debt, does that make him an idiot??? He supports tax breaks for small businesses, does that make him an idiot??? He's against abortion based on the sex/race of the baby, does that make him an idiot??? He's against an institution of governmental dependence, does that make him an idiot???

    Actually Fox (not Faux) is a bit less biased than MSNBC or CNN, but I don't think any of them are "unbiased." But if you want to try to claim that the majority of media aren't Liberal, then you're not being HONEST with yourself or any of us....

    The words coming out of his mouth make him an idiot.

    That's about as ridiculous a statement as I have seen. You do realize that there is more to the media than major stations on TV, right? But that does explain a lot. Like most, you seem to get your "news" in 5 minute sound bites from talking heads that will say anything that panders to their audience, it just depends on which audience you are.

    Here are just a few unbiased news sources. They won't pander like faux news but they will inform.
