Michael Steele has had trouble getting his message out there in the mainstream media. <br /><br />The problem with the GOP right now is that there are too many inside the beltway phony conservatives in Washington. For that reason,I think conservative talk radio is rocking right now because there is no one in Washington leading the charge based on conservative principles. <br /><br />Who in Washington will lead us back? I for one respect and admire Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina. This is going to take time. Let's just hope the liberals in Washington and across this great land don't destroy America in the meantime.Lee Hernlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408614832384280367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282473535966740770.post-26571148516439280082009-06-20T12:18:56.501-07:002009-06-20T12:18:56.501-07:00Thx Lee for the links.

Of course <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1-ZgouoJso" rel="nofollow">Levin doesn't like O'Reilly</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl74CSE1ick&feature=related" rel="nofollow">Michael Savage doesn't like Levin</a>.. do these "conservatives" like other "conservatives".. or is it just about a ratings war?<br /><br />All that said I am really not interested in debating squawk tv/radio entertainers.. Joe included. If it is ever to get back on its feet the GOP has to get past the rhetoric of tv/radio entertainers. I mean come on.. we need leaders not talkers?kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282473535966740770.post-30877845212476282232009-06-20T11:42:05.398-07:002009-06-20T11:42:05.398-07:00See

He'...Casey, I listened to Glenn Beck for years. He's just not very smart. That's his biggest problem. O'Reilly and Rush are much smarter, even while I don't agree with them!<br /><br />Yes, he blasts the GOP, but he does it from the position of requiring them to be as naively conservative as he is. <br /><br />My least favorite (most memorable) Beck comment came on the day of Shock and Awe. (I was a daily listener back then.... this comment nearly finished my listening so appalling was it.) He said, "Don't you secretly just want to see the full scope of the American military unleashed on Iraq, I mean, really?" He was gleeful about the possibility.<br /><br />When it was finally aired on TV live, he lamented that it just wasn't as impressive as he'd expected.<br /><br />Yeah. So not smart.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00088119765077193302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282473535966740770.post-91411033179518818662009-06-18T17:30:16.920-07:002009-06-18T17:30:16.920-07:00Seriously, I'm in love with the Rhodes sister....Seriously, I'm in love with the Rhodes sister. :) Sorry Matt.<br /><br />You guys rock.

He says John mcCain is his friend and yet waits until he knows the moment it will hurt McCain the most and stabs him in the back. I didn't vote for McCain or Obama so don't go there.<br /><br />3) Bill O'Reilly is just a blowhard and is no friend of the Republican establishment. But, I think the party is proud to have three conservative voices like Rush Limbaugh (who I don't listen to), Sean Hannity, and the great one, Mark R. Levin leading the way. Hmm, who has had the #1 best selling book for 10 out of the last 11 weeks. All WITHOUT the help of the biased liberal media. Answer? Mark R. Levin.<br /><br />4) The problem with the Re-pub-i-cans as Mark likes to call them is they are scared to death of alienating the biased media establishment. This is why you hear no one speaking out save for Mitt Romney. He gave a hell of a speech at the Heritage FOundation recently. Newt Gingrich was going great for a while until he called Sonia Sotomayor a racist then took it back. Racist maybe a little strong but she is definitely bigoted.<br /><br />5) As for the GOP, in order to win, they have got to get a clear message out there and they have also got to use all methods of communication like Obumma did during the last election and have got to do it soon.<br /><br />Lastly, as a Democrat, I look forward to see what your thoughts are on all this spending going on in Washington. Currently, this so-called 'health reform' is a disaster. The government got us into this mess starting in 1942, made a bigger mess with Medicare and Medicaid in 65, then really dug us in deep with Keendy's HMO act in 1973. Don't get me started on the EMTALA.<br /><br />But then, what do I know. I'm a conservative.Lee Hernlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408614832384280367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282473535966740770.post-52220616007449478352009-06-17T17:41:02.155-07:002009-06-17T17:41:02.155-07:00Interesting blog, great articles.

For the past couple years (and for sure longer than he's had his Fox show and become a greater target) he has been blasting the GOP. He may be a fear mongerer, but it's too bad people don't listen to him besides a few selected monologues. His fear mongering over the past 4 years has tended to come true.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15006654273794892907noreply@blogger.com
