A newspaper's bias is not always revealed by it's Presidential endorsement.  Read
the other editorials.  Or, just read the "objective" news articles.  Whatever
happens, the press is always demanding that the government "do something."

Or, "why do you keep lying about your tax policy?", or "why do you try to hide
the fact that you are liberal?", or "why did you suddenly shift further left
after you became the front-runner in the primary?", or "why is your state last
in so many areas?", or "why did you lie about your position on Desert Storm?",
or...  There are many lies and misrepresentations by Slick Willie every day.

That is utter nonsense.  We have a liberal newspaper here also.  We had another, but
it went under.  The conservative newspaper had a letter yesterday complaining about
it's liberal bias.  You don't seem to know what a liberal newspaper is.  Could it be
that you are so liberal that you think that they are all conservative?

It means more than the nonsense you wrote.

They haven't had the power (i.e. the House of Representatives) to stop the
Democrats from spending us into bigger and bigger deficits.  You seem to believe
that since the little spenders haven't been able to balance the budget, that we
should just give the BIG spenders free reign.  Let's see, spend much more until
the budget is balanced - yep, that's typical liberal "thinking."
