you might want to examine your own "views" before calling someone else "jaded." But...sadly...that requires an open mind and I don't believe yours has been open for a very, very long time. Which is really sad. I'm sorry for you...truly.

25% need it--and that's being generous. nm

I sent a rather generous check to the Red Cross.

How much did you contribute?

Pro-life people are very generous
Many pro-life people are involved with politics and volunteer at the crisis pregnancy center. Many open their homes to young pregnant women. I know several who have adopted or fostered special needs children.
Crisis pregnancy centers will help any woman who is pregnant or has a child with material needs. They will give her diapers, clothing, gift cards and find her a dwelling place if necessary.

Attend any pro-life meeting you will meet wonderful people there. It's not just with pregnancy they help with, they also volunteer to help elderly too.

Thanks, that opened and seemed pretty generous to me. n/m

About "Liberal Bias"
Study after study (if you don't count that moron Bernard Goldberg) have shown that if there's any bias in the media, it's Republican bias. Here's just the latest one:

Who do you think OWNS the mass media? It ain't liberals.

SP declared war on "liberal" media at RNC
in view of the NeoCons pathologic inability to ever own up to a mistake, we are likely in for a long haul on this alleged zealous media vendetta against the poor victimized VP pick. In the absence of pub diplomatic offer of an olive branch, there are a number of strategies they could employ to appease the scoundrels. Attacking them for being biased is not one of them. For example, she could actually make the rounds of the talk show circuit, stop running on the lipstick platorm and focus on pub platform, policies and issues in a substantive and compelling manner, thus forcing thoat attack dogs to choke on their own bones of contention. won't hold my breath on that one.

What a bunch of whiners. Obama was been dogged and hounded by the media for over 18 months. This was "really bad" on Focks network where they launched feeding frenzies of attack reporting for weeks and even months at a time, cramming antiObama propaganda down the throats of anyone within earshot. Pubs can take comfort in the fact that ultimately these smear campaigns really did not succeed in bringing Obama down, who went on to seize the nomination of his party.

If you guys are on the right side of history and if you have selected the best among you with the strongest appeal, the most credible policies and can convince voters that they should trust your candidate over the opposition to deliver real CHANGE, you have nothing to fear. Before that can happen, though, JM and SP will have to step up to the podium and talk about the debt we are passing onto our children and their children in the form of costs of the Iraq war and the rising number of obscene corporate bailouts, the latest being FMFM, their special interests and corruption. JM and SP will also need to effectively address how they plan to unify a deeply divided nation, the war and foreign policy, the diminishing quality of life for the middle class, gas prices and alternative fuels, the mortgage industry collapse, jobs creation, outsourcing, health care, education, the environment, global warming�well, I could go on, but you get the drift.

A lot of "liberal" healthcare administrators
who once believed all the democrat garbage until they got Obama into office. Now, after reviewing from some of Obama's top sources the info on what Medicare will stop letting elderly have at their own discretion, they are becoming livid. Well, they wanted him, they got him. So many to thank for all their free lunch for everyone thinking.............

When did "conservative" and "liberal" become insults?

It seems to serve the purposes of politicians very well to encourage their followers to label, demonize and fear those who belong to "the other" party, and to paint them all with whatever nutty ideas the true extremists in the other party happen to believe.

The truth is that most "ordinary" Democrats are only a little more liberal than most "ordinary" Republicans, and vice versa, but we are encouraged to hate one another because this serves the purposes of the parties. Politics has become not a matter of which party offers the most persuasive platform of positive ideas, but seeing who can create the largest howling, mindless mob.

Put your "everyday" Democrat and Republican in a room together attending some nonpolitical function - say, for instance, a baby shower or a choir practice. They don't happen to know which party anyone belongs to. What kinds of things do you hear them talking about? What aspirations do you hear them express? You'll be amazed at how much they have in common, sharing concerns for good schools, safe streets, job security, affordable healthcare, and many other issues. The Democrat will be no happier about the increase in the sales tax than the Republican, and the Republican will agree that the current system of healthcare leaves too many people without options.

You're a liberal, and I'll bet that you're a moderate liberal. I'm a conservative, but I'm a moderate conservative. If we could get together outside of Washington, we'd probably come to some pretty workable, livable and even affordable solutions to the common problems that we all share.

Let's recognize what's happening to us as those in power in Washington find it useful for us to hate one another. Let's resist. And let's all see if we can't find some moderates in both parties that we can send to Washington who will truly represent who the American people truly are and what the American people truly believe when we refuse to be manipulated into positions of hatred toward one another.
