I'm more of a Deborah Norville kind of guy.

FOX NEWS RULES!! If you lack the ability to see the big picture, you could at least watch it for Jane Skinner. Ohhh baby!!

I like Laurie Dhue, she has some nice "BIG" lips ...

Did you ever see that Juliette girl that does the weekend editions of Fox & Friends? Without a doubt, THE BEST legs I've ever seen on a news show. I've never seen her wear pants, so she probably knows it.

Janice "The Weather Machine" Dean is pretty hot, too.

The big picture: piles and piles of... oh, never mind. The essense of conservatism is not necessarily that I believe something because it's correct, but that it's correct because I believe it. That's why Evangelical Christians identify so well with conservatism.
Calling Sean Hannity "fair and balanced" and Bill O'Reilly "no-spin" is flat-out falsehood, meant to fan the flames of extremism for, say it with me kids, PROFIT. Believe what you want to believe. I'll start watching when they do a fund drive.---->JMS

Tucker Carlson is really the only conservative pundit I like (though his condesending barbs can get annoying). Joe Scarborough makes a few good points but I can't stand his "good family values" agenda. I loathe the rest (i.e. Coulter, Savage, "Oxy-head", etc.).

It sucks being a libertarian, because you agree with the cons about money issues but you hate their facist policies; you agree with the libs' views on personal freedom but dislike their big government agendas. I need to start my own political party.

[songsmith]

Exactly. I feel exactly the same way. I'm really conservative (and I mean REALLY conservative) about some issues, like bogus gun control laws and welfare reform, and pretty liberal about others, like abortion and marijuana legalization. I absolutely refuse to toe a party line. Refuse. I think Karl Rove is the devil, as is his Dem counterpart, and that the current drive for conservative control of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the government takes away checks and balances, and therefore hurts America far more than it helps it. Sure, I agree with some NeoCon values, but nobody will dictate to me what is right, and what is wrong, no matter what their political, religious, or moral beliefs. All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Book of Romans). Even Rush. ESPECIALLY Rush, because he's a hypocrite, which I hold to the same standard as Osama Bin Laden.----->JMS

Agreed 100%. Don't talk talk about how drug users are no-good criminals that should be locked away and then try to euphemize your dependency on Oxy-Contin. The Dittohead apologists came out of the wood work when Rush's addiction was publicized. "Yeah, but his addiction is different because it's to medicine." What, so were gonna argue the legal semantics of the drug he's addicted to? Bill Maher was right: His addiction is no different than that of a crack addict's. He has a chemical and psychological dependecy on a mind altering substance (a substance that has been destroying countless lives, mind you). How is that any different than the guy trying to score some black tar herion?

Then again, I've always been of the school of thought that drug addicts need therapy and counseling, not assimilation into a system full of rapists, murderers, and crime lords. It's a sad day in American when we're arresting Tommy Chong because he's selling bongs on the internet. I'm still waiting for the cops to bust me for buying that Mountain Dew from the pop machine the other day. I could make a carbeurator out of the empty can.

You can replace "conservatism" with "liberalism" and "Evangelical Christians" with "New Age Elitists" and have just as valid a statement.

Sean Hannity is no more fair and balanced than Alan Colmes, but when you put them together on their show, it becomes fair and balanced. O'Reilly is another story. He attacks the left and right with equal vigor and the only spin permitted is Bill tooting his own horn. I don't think his detractors understand what he means by a "no-spin zone".

[songsmith]

I dunno, Wolf. I respect your opinions, and I agree about the liberalism thing, but that's as far as it goes to me. New Age Elitists are FAR outnumbered by religious zealots in this country. To New Agers, if you don't believe pretty much what they believe, you're just not educated enough. To Evangelicals, if you don't believe EXACTLY what they believe, you are simply going to burn in a lake of endless fire for all eternity. I grew up Evangelical, Charismatic, Pentecostal. I've seen the hypocrisy firsthand, and my nostrils still burn with the stink of it.
Sean Hannity vs. Alan Colmes: is it an accident that the lib is a skinny milquetoast with a bowtie, and the conservative is The Irish Bulldog, who "debates" at the top of his lungs? Hannity and Limbaugh have similar routines... so similar that they seem to be getting the same orders from The Architect, like they did in the election run-up. Today, they both went on & on about filibustering Democrats, while the President takes a beating on his Social Security plan. I don't blame the Prez for sticking to his guns, but Ol' Plush seems to be playing "look at that interesting thing over there."
And Bill O'Reilly a lot shallower in right field since his phone-sex scandal. I give him points for simply denying the whole thing, as opposed to Rush rationalizing an addiction to hillbilly heroin. Maybe Bill actually didn't do it... Rush says he did it, but it's okay, because it's Rush.
Another thing I dislike about them: They bash the "mainstream media," which equates to anyone who doesn't agree with them. However, each of them LOVES to point out that they get "twenty million listeners a week," so doesn't that make them pretty mainstream? And the major networks get 4 total hours each week, including the Sunday morning press shows, to be liberal. Rush does 15 hours of monologizing about his views.
Okay, I just realized, that's what I'm doing. Way to sucker me, Wolf. ------>JMS
