i disagree. I think Savage is not a liberal, but yet a Wacked Conservative who often bashes his own quite often for not being conservative enough.

He goes too far...

Savage is sort of like Paul Revere mixes up with your old uncle who rips on anything and everything that moves. He's out there on the edge, sort of like the point man in front of the platoon. I do like his tangents on his experiences when he was growing up, the 1950's, the bumper music from then and even his dog Teddy. I love my 8 cats so they are a huge part of my life so I can understand him loving his dog. I like how he points out what is truly wrong, he doesn't let party loyalty get in the way. He is also a good outlet for many of us who have much the same take on things, when he rants, we rant with him, it is a good tension breaker. Unfortunatly, the Pitt game is on tonite (my 90 year old grandmother and my 18 year old calico cat could beat the Pitt Panther football team) so they pre-empt Savage. B-(

Talkshow host that I do miss, Art Bell, I get into the paranormal and the "black ops" stuff and Art just knew what questions to ask. Also, like me, Art is an amateur radio operator and I love it when he had Wayne Green on although Wayne jumps the shark when he talks about health and the story of how we "didn't land on the Moon."

I do miss Chuck Harder though, he was a lot like Savage with his "For the People" show but he was more like a kindly uncle.

I guess the reason why Savage does appeal to me is that I generally see myself as an "independent or populist conservatve," sort of like being a "Dr. James Dobson" on most issues" but I tend to be closer to Hubert Humphrey on economic issues. Savage did make a good point one time to where we do need the Democratic party as a good offset, one time both parties do have the best interests of the country at the forefrint even though we did have disagreements. I think the problem is that where Savage comes in that in key areas, both parties fall down on the job. The Democrats with their moonbat liberal social policies as well as economic policies with no strings attached along with weak military and national security issues. The Republicans are marginally better, they are generally good on military and secourity issues, iffy on social issues bet better than the Democrats, and I think somewhat poor on economic issues for the average guy. Both parties are bad on the border issue, but the Democrats can capitalize if the Republicans don't close the hole fast.

So I do think many times, both paties are leaving the average person behind.
