Sites on Politics in General
**** On some of these sites, I will be stating whether certain sites (in my opinion) are biased to any certain political party in an effort to help you better consider the source of the information.  Please take into consideration that these sites generally do NOT state that they have any particular slant on issues and in fact will generally claim to be NON Partisan.  However, it seems fairly obvious to me in some cases that this isn't necessarily true.  Again, this will be just my own opinion regarding this.  -- Joan
