Thats the answer. If you dont like the righties, then what about those lefties? Add michael moore into that.

If you base your decision on the kooks you will not ever find a real political home. Its like a family we all know the crazy uncle who has weird conspericy stories once the boose gets a flowing!

I am Libertarian and Coburn is one of the few {R}s that I like. I liked Beck when he was at CNN and I do not know what happened to him when he went to Fox. Trump sort of amazes me on how a bona fide idiot can make so much money and have people listen to him. Fox news is not fair and balanced and like other stations is partisan to the max.

The person I like some might consider a bore but I like Cavato he is smart and fair. The rest Hannity and others are nothing but a bunch of {R} party cheer leaders. I hate how they just go after the {D}s , they should try to shape up their own party and call them out when they are wrong.

In addition to those people (generally liberal loons) you have the far right crazies. 1/2 of their viewership is liberals who just love to rant and rave at them. Just look at posts here, like this one. When was the last time you say a conservative bring up anything said by Beck? Every day you see one liberal or another going on a foaming at the mouth rant about one thing or another.

The only people who watch someone like Beck are the far left nuts who aren't going to vote Republican anyway, even when the agree with them, and the far right nuts who are always going to vote Republican anyway.

Quit being an 'R' and became an 'I' when the televangelists took control of the GOP and every election centered on abortion during the 1980's. Like there was no other basis to choose our president on except for their view on abortion.


Fox, Beck and Trump do nothing to make me want to return. I still vote either way, but don't see myself ever belonging to the GOP again.

In fact, I watched Fox news every day up until @ 5 years ago when, one day, Alisyn Camerota announced that Cuba would now become a democracy because Castro stepped down, and at the same time GB was building his bunker. Enough.

That, along with Trump recently trying to influence the GOP primary by saying that if Gingrich wasn't nominated he would run as a 3rd party candidate and now trying to pull what amounts to extortion on the sitting POTUS, make me wonder what happened to the GOP I belonged to.

So, no, they didn't cause me to change, but they do give me 2nd thoughts on ever going back.

No. Unlike republicans, we can think for ourselves. We don't need no stinking media.

There is a big difference... I'm not talking about supporting Republicans or Democrats, I'm talking abour crazy bull**** such as if you cant afford health insurance you will go to jail, our president is a Muslim who is friends with terrorists, the flu vaccination is a way the government will control your kids, Obamacare is so the government can control over population etc etc etc.

before this week, when it comes to trump, i would have said yes. but now......... after trump's latest very visible birther rants i was amazed to see it reported* that romney's campaign is having trump record a robo-call in support of romney. so, either romney's campaign hasn't researched this and are just acting on a hunch (which i would find mind-boggling) or their research shows that trump would attract extra voters (which i would find mind-boggling).


*altho reported i have yet to hear of any official confirmation from the campaign or any report of an actual robo-call.
