First, thanks to all who have voted, and I am surprised so far. Some good comments and observations have been made and it's cool.
I voted I believe the press because they sell more news, Limbaugh advertises what the NY Times and MSNBC has to say so people on the Right go there to truly see what they are saying. Then the Dems. complain about Fox and Limbaugh and their followers go to see what those media people are saying.
But I think it is deeper. I think Alpha is partially right that the partisanship keeps people polarized enough to keep any 3rd parties from making headway in.
In all honesty I can find reasons to agree with each answer, I guess that is why I put them up there.
It'll be interesting to see others comments and how the voting turns out.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
