conservatives are destroying the Republican party. The Republican party has a tremendous history. It has done great things for the American people, but these conservatives are killing the party.

conservatives hate almost all republican presidents.

Seriously besides Ronald Reagan, name the Republican president that conservatives like.

Not GWB, Not GHB, not Gerald Ford, Not Richard Nixon, Not Eisenhower, Not Herbert Hoover, Maybe Calvin Coolidge, then I think it was Taft can't remember his first name. Warren Harding was in there as well.

Even the most popular Republican presidents Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt are not embraced by these conservatives.

The republican party is dominated by these conservatives that don't like the actual history of the republican party.

Well...they claim they've impacted FOX ratings by 22%, and they're working with the leadership of tea party groups across the country. I'm not sure what that means, since of chunk of those groups seem to be seniors who meet for coffee every Monday am at the local general store in East Egypt, but they're serious about this. I'm not sure what you mean by it being staged and not by "real people." This doesn't look like it was done by any kind of slick media group. It's about as grassroots as it gets

The Tea party is the biggest HOA in America. Tea Partiers can barely get along with one another. Count all the law suits filed by TP against one another.

The only way to change the party, is from within.
People are slowly realizing we have two Progressive parties, throwing the majority of conservative value minds, a bone in disguise.

At least they're honest.

Not to mention I don't believe the story. It's nothing but someone's inflamatory wet dream. A prime example of "we'll write the nonsense you want to hear in the hopes you'll drag it to internet forums and act like it's true."

So you think the Democrats are behind a boycott to push FOX to spend more time covering Benghazi?

Yeah--that must be it.

Do you think Fox News is becoming more liberal because of ratings?

Was the election news just too awful for Fox News viewers to bear? Or is this a sign of a longer-term trend? Fox News primetime ratings fell to a 12-year low in January 2013, according to Nielsen data.

If you're going to bash Fox news at least try doing it based on something other than ratings.

Fox News is apparently jumping off the crashing GOP bandwagon. It is all about survival.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...............and Romney was going to win the election too. LOL, denial is the greatest self-defeating behavior.

If you add the ratings of HLN, CNN, MSNBC, collectively, they beat out Fox News.
