BILL O'REILLY: All the polls say the same thing. Americans who identify themselves as conservative outnumber liberals by about two to one. Yet, social power has shifted to the left wing precincts. The reason? Organization. The far left is dominating the Internet, the entertainment industry, including the journalistic media. Outside of talk radio and Fox News there are few non-liberal voices heard nationwide.
The intensity of the far left is almost frightening. Many of these people will do almost anything to destroy their opposition. So conservative Americans find themselves somewhat demoralized as they see the Supreme Court siding with the left and the national news media promoting liberal causes on a daily basis.
But some of the blame for all of that falls on conservatives themselves. On right wing radio, you often hear about RINOs, Republicans in name only. Moderates like Jeb Bush are crushed by more conservative commentators. There is a deep division between the far and moderate right.
You don't see that on the left. Moderate liberal people not usually scorned by the Media Matters crew, for example. They concentrate solely on defaming traditional Americans. That's very important when you have a division among conservatives and a consolidation among the left -- the power shifts to the liberal precincts.
Did you know that in the last presidential election 82 percent of self-identified conservative voters cast a ballot for Mitt Romney. That means 17 percent voted for President Obama. In 2008 election, 20 percent of self-identified conservatives voted for Mr. Obama. Believe me you are not going to get that kind of flexibility on the left. They stay true to their school as the Beach Boys once sang.

And Americans who identify themselves as believing Christians is probably a similar or even higher percentage.
So basically Bill has said nothing useful ... which is his normal modus operandi.
If everyone would simply adopt my positions on all issues, there would be no bickering (and dumbass BoR would claim credit).
You are right about there being a lot of criticism of conservative “leadership” on FR.
However, in light of the GOP’s complete betrayal of conservative principles, refusal to fight insane domestic and foreign policies, instead actually capitulate and collaborate to further Obola’s USA trainwreck, I think conservatives are completely justified holding RINOs feet to the fire.
Jeb, Christie, Rubio, Paul, Rand are compromised and would likely take the country in the direction that Obola and the left want.
Moderate Republicans have a very poor record of opposing this president, and as a result, I don’t trust them.
Ammnesty for Illegals instead tough border enforcment, along with immediate attention to deficit spending / monetary policies, are among my most important litmus tests.
Few candidates can be relied on to tow the line.
Even O’Reilly can be right sometimes — the circular firing squad is killing us.
BOR has it all wrong. It’s not conservatives that are fighting with each other. It’s Republicans that are fighting with each other.
Amen......
One only has to look at the lack of any Hillary articles to see where this is all aimed at........
Well, ok. I’m sick of this early Early election stuff. so yeah, who’s your candidate? Homer Simpson?
I’m in.
O’Reilly is one of the biggest contributors to the world of obnoxious, and to bickering. He has made gazillions being rude and causing trouble within the Republican party.
He appears to be all but un-churched entirely, and has no clue to the cause of our social collapse and cultural collapse.
How dare he lecture us.
He has no clue about much of anything.
Good Gosh almighty, don’t tell me people still watch this blowhard in droves? Uggh, someone get me either some aspirin or a stiff drink...
The DEMs lost seats in Congress last election. I'm not saying that is where the rubber meets the road, but "republicans bickering" seems to have paid off at the ballot box. Who cares if the liberals dominate the idiot box?
How about the attacks on the Tea Party by Republicans?
Why when Conservative talk shows push back, does BOR complain that they are attacking?
Yeah, thanks for that useful information captain obvious.
I have an excerpt from my opus that pertains to this.
I apologize in the delay in getting the opus out. I was asked to write an article for the site I mostly hang out at and have been working on that. The opus will be finished soon.
EXERPT:
“Expansion (of the party) also brings in new voters and stakeholders in the nation....This strategy ensures that everyone is benefiting as well as working together, rather than the one voter looking at only one issue in isolation.”
Did you know that in the last presidential election 82 percent of self-identified conservative voters cast a ballot for Mitt Romney. That means 17 percent voted for President Obama.

It means no such thing, many voted for a third party.
One has only to sit back and observe this forum to see he is indeed on point...
Yep...
“It means no such thing, many voted for a third party.”
Except voting third party is exactly the same as voting democratic.
