there is mucho mumbo jumbo... some of it comes from Religious bias... some are just biased to a certain political party... Left or Right . . . some have fallen off the deep end
also, i'm sure a great percentage either don't care, or don't have time to keep up with what's really going on
i would like to see the Libertarian Party gain strength because it's a moderation between the two current extremes
i am not partisan to any "party"... but i will admit to being biased . . . biased against utter stupidity, ignorance, and especially the bigoted and self-righteous propaganda being spewed in the name of "god"
