She says at the beginning of the film that she went into this with an open mind. From that statement on it was almost impossible to watch the rest of the "film" She is the daughter of left leaning liberal, not just a democrat, former speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi. She spends most of her free time going on Bill Mahr's show and having her ass kissed by him. She will never bite the hand that has fed her.If she had said "I have to acknowledge I'm biased because of my democratic upbringing and beliefs and this is what I see as the reason I am a democrat, I could truly have watched this with more an open mind.She then continues to show only the uneducated people in the Republican party or the ones that most Americans will not relate to: ones who are militant in their beliefs. These morons exist in every political party.If the movie showed the blind followers or crazies in the Democratic party and compared them to the Republicans it might have been a film. If you are a left leaning liberal and want to feel good about your political affiliation watch this movie. If you are looking for a good movie about the politics in America avoid at all costs, it's a one slant show.I remember thinking that George W. Bush was being paranoid when he spoke about the leftist media. This begs the question: Is it paranoid if it's true?

Slanted - no doubt. And I will try to watch the other views - I believe Sarah Palin involved in a documentary about the liberal media and I will watch that also. BUT, this kind of movie-making needs to be a part of our discussions.These people are REAL and their views may be right-on - who knows? I for one disagree with them, but I need to understand them. I have lived with people like this and worked with people like this. I feel sad that their views can be short-sighted. BUT, everyone needs to watch this and make their own decisions.Maybe this movie just speaks to one of the issues Obama was running on??? - EDUCATION. Those that forget the past are doomed to repeat it! I guess I should try to watch Fox news now?! - ouch , hurts the brain.

Can we have a Muslim President? Can we have a President with no religious system? Is it okay to let a black person lead our nation? Maybe we need to ask ourselves if the person we need is a great self - promoter, or are we looking for a good, honest administrator?This film shows that most people want to be dazzled by a playboy hot dogging fighter-crasher(Google the Forrestall.) Enough, fortunately, just want to elect someone who wants to restore dignity to our people. I hope we can allow that to happen, in spite of ourselves. Pelosi, Liberal, Leftist, Socialist. These are NOT derogatory terms, they don't hurt the people they apply to, they just scare the ignorant.

This is a very well put together and instructional view of one side of the American voter. Ms Pelosi has put together multiple viewpoints throughout her film documentary history and this is no exception....there is no added viewpoint of the producer of this piece and it seems to follow along with the thoughts out there without comment or editorializing. A very solid film with insight into one view if the American voter. I enjoyed the overall attitude of the interviewees who participated. The random cross-section covered a very large part of the heartland and the south....there should have been more from the mountain states and New England but, that would have probably started to look like repeating the basic points that were made by the voters. There were even opposing points of view brought out....which is rare in this type of program. Watch (with an open mind if you have an opposing view to what you see)...this will result in some insight into what this country is up against and the reasons why there is such a polarization out there.
