In my area we are really limited. They run Mark Levin; Limbaugh, Schmidt and Beck ...and I'm getting sick and tired of the status quo spin. They all try to intimidate anyone calling in about Ron Paul (with the exception of Limbaugh who usually will at least listen). It seems like all the callers want to impress the host to the point where they say they are going to vote for candidates they think the host likes. It really makes me sick.

Today Schmidt wanted South Carolinians to call in to say who they were voting for. Most called in and said Santorum and Gingrich --- the two candidates who aren't even on the ballot in 3 states! Hello????
One lady even said she was voting for Santorum because, GET THIS, "because he is the most honest of all the candidates". Say what????? LOL.
He is the least honest.

You'd think the hosts could clue them in about that. I guess there is no ethics in talk radio. All lies and spin is fair game .....and Heaven help South Carolinian voters, most of whom are totally clueless about the facts and the idea of reading or listening to anything but SC news sources never even occurs to them.

Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh and even Boortz won't give any time or credibility to Paul. Beck has even been blatantly Anti-Paul, without a SHRED of objectivity. I listen to them a lot, and I always find myself SCREAMING at the radio...

I'm holding out hope that when it gets down to a 2 man race people will be forced to open their ears and 'the seeds of liberty be planted'. Most folks don't even realize how hard this 'soft tyranny' will become.

After looking at Dr. Paul's investments, I think he knows.

I only listen to the best talk radio show on the planet, Armstrong and Getty out of northern California. I left CA 3 yrs ago and listen to the podcast every day. Yeah, they're that good.

They are not in the back pocket of any party or candidate (but they do lean more conservative/libertarian). The discuss the pros and cons of Ron Paul very thoughtfully. They are intelligent, even-minded and super funny.

Don't listen to talk radio, it's only for people who cannot form their own opinions.

Though I'm delighted you chose to use italics, bold, and underline, that doesn't make your one word response any more substantive. Limbaugh and his ilk issue forth bile and nonsense that is tolerable to only the most credulous listeners.

I listen to ALL of them, don't believe ANY of them, and don't appreciate being insulted by a wannabe basketball player who thinks he's witty! Grow up! If you want 'something substantive' in the conversation, START with it!

Or go play some hoops and leave the adults alone.
