A quicky about the positions and opinions of the Democrats and Republicans on the infamous...FISCAL CLIFF!
The Democrats are, if anything, for the fiscal cliff. They talk about cutting the prices for medicare and medicaid but they really don't care about the spending. They are ALL for the debt! They also believe that if they aren't the ones to reduce the taxes or rise them on certain groups (middle class for example) then no one will do it because they believe that the Republicans will avoid such an idea and action. This will be abused by the Republicans. The Republicans on the other hand are totally against the fiscal cliff. They are absolutely against spending altogether and debts and they also do not care about the opinions of the people.
First off I narrowed the search by link name. The following links are .com(s) sites but usually when doing researches I would go by .org or .net. I would then briefly skim over the content of each site I visited, using CTRL+F to hunt down the key words that I need to look for to see if it's actually worth my time to read over. Another thing that I did when searching was change my search terms. Such as opinions, or view, or position for each party, and getting new and some same links that they provided. What was most helpful abuot the way I searched besides address names and tems were if they were blogs or simple opinions by the general public (or a site. whichever).

I can't tell from your post whether you were picking up biases from your sources or if it is reflecting your own political beliefs. Neither party thought the Fiscal Cliff should go unaddressed, though it would have served Democratic purposes (political and economic) better than Republican if a compromise had not been reached by 1/1/13. You need to be clearer on the overarching beliefs of the two parties. I do think that you could use more of the search tools we examined. While it is good to filter for bias, finding the information you need is the first step.
