But if all you are looking for is a Democratic Party, Obama hack cheerleader ... nope, Dylan Ratigan is not for you.

Furthermore, you couldn't be more blind if you think that Democrats are just perfect and aren't part of the insider Washington, D.C. establishment -- lots of the are. And even more Repuglicans are.

Ratigan calls them all out.

He is very independent minded -- which is why he wouldn't last 30 minutes on FoxPAC-TV.

Really, I don't understand why so many people just want to hear that their side is good and the other side is bad. Is it really that difficult to hear a variety of viewpoints and think on your own .... and then make up your mind? We know Repuglicans and Teabaggers are like that -- heaven help us if liberals and progressives start getting that doctrinaire.
