Bill O, and Laura are both served best when ignored.

bill o is better than the rest of those yahoo's

A lot of the time Bill O annoys me more than the others, because he is the human personification of the bullshit that is Fox News. Hannity, Ingraham, whoever else all at least admit they are hyper partisans. Our good friend Bill tries to paint himself as a middle of the road guy in the same way that Fox tries to pretend it's a middle of the road network.

Bill O annoys you because you keep watching him! Why don't you just watch MSNBC? Some liberals claim watching K. Olberman and C. Matthews is like getting a "knob job" and being "reamed" at the same time! They actually feed you what you want to hear!

Don't worry, you now have a 'true conservative' (limblaugh) as your leader now :laugh:

Can I declare Keith Olbermann & Rachel Maddow the leaders of the Democratic Party?

You can say that the Earth is flat if you want to but Olbermann and Maddow are not the leaders of the Democratic party.

In a country where freedom of speech is the expected norm, anyone can say anything. The problem is, saying something does not make it true.

And when we ask who leads the GOP, what amounts to a fairly diverse political party, its a fairly hard question to answer, especially since there is no sitting President to now fill that role.
But even then, it still misses the point, because the real strength of the GOP is in its voting electorate.

But Calender year 2007 and 2008 are proof positive that Limbaugh and his ilk do not lead the GOP. Limbaugh and his ilk had many candidates of their choosing in the 2008 GOP electoral field.
And when it came to the GOP primaries, in which only the GOP electorate is eligible to vote, The GOP electorate choose the candidate that Limbaugh and his ilk were most opposed to.

And if the GOP electorate rejects Limbaugh and all he stands for by a 3 to 1 margin, its impossible to claim he leads the GOP. And in fact, if the GOP can claim about 40% national support, at best, Limbaugh has about 25% of the GOP electorate. And when it translate out into votes, Limbaugh only musters no more than 10% of the nation's voters. And when Limbaugh and his cronies are that far out of real clout, they have to make up for it by talking loud and making outrageous statements. That way people pay more attention to them, even if they know their time has long passed.

Those Liberals must be members of your immediate family because I've never heard anyone, be they Liberal or anything else, describe listening to that fat head and getting that sensation.
