I am neither a conservative nor a liberal as I share views from both sides! I am also a person who is sick and tired of all the bull$hit that has come to typify American politics and the schism that exists in America today! The only thing that matters in a debate are the facts, by that I mean substantiated facts! Lies, innuendo, and hearsay have no place in an honest debate and if it is your style to use such lies, innuendo, hearsay, half-baked truths and things taken out of context during the course of one then the only thing you are proving is how shallow a person you really are! If you claim something is a "fact" and are challenged on it then have the guts to post a link to where you got your information. Other than that anything goes so if you can't take the heat don't light the fire! Opinions are, by their very nature, polarizing - live with it!

Miss. win a bigger story than W. Va.?

Politics – So what event last night was more consequential: Obama's substantial defeat in a state few had considered a general election battleground until Clinton declared it so last week? Or the GOP losing a 3rd-straight special congressional election in what was considered a solid GOP seat -- this one a Miss. district where Bush won 62% of the vote in 2004?

Oil Prices:The Nigerian Connection.
