Don't waste your time. They will NEVER understand. All they want to do is try and trash FOX. NOTHING else matters.

hmmmm...

Pundit is lured to a rival network by more money and shortly afterwards praises her new employer.

Shocking!

Really? I don't see a single mention in her career or political beliefs that she was ever a conservative.

EVERY job she has HAD IN POLITICS HAS BEEN WITH LIBERAL DEMOCRATS.[b]

Bill Clinton is not a Liberal, he is a moderate. People on this forum seem to not be able to distinguish between ideologies on the left side of the political spectrum, so the safe choice for you people is to simply call people Democrats and put no ideology in front of it, atleast that way you would be right.

She is definitely left of center, no doubt about it, I think most people's grip about her is the fact that FOX knows the issues where she is against the current Administration, and that is where they put her on TV. When she completely agrees with the Administration, she is rarely seen.

If you don't care about the subject, stay away. No one cares.

75% of this poster's output appears to consist of him saying how he doesn't care about the topic at hand.

Very odd thing to be constantly saying in a discussion forum

Kind of shocking that a grown, adult woman has only learned these lessons now. These are things that are supposed to be taught to children. Since liberals are all inclusive, and respect other peoples opinions and beliefs..I am quite shocked that a strictliberal upbringing left this woman so sheltered and naive to other people.

Exactly! Maybe the OP should send his post to Powers' family.

She was a regular on Brian and the Judge and the Alan Colmes show...ALWAYS making it quite clear that she was a CONSERVATIVE Democrat! Always. It was her calling card. That's why she's on Fox to begin with.

Was she a right wing fanatical tool like 95% of Republicans? No. But she's always been to the right of her fellow Democrats.

Again...you're all Johnny Come Lately to her history.

Yes it has been good for her. Word is she's been getting a lot more sex now that she's turned right.

OK. If you want to ignore her positions which I posted, that is your prerogative.

Wait a minute, I thought you expressed that YOU WEREN'T INTERESTED. Why are you still here?
