I think Glenn will fade in time. Whether he had the goods first on the ACORN tapes is debatable. Maybe they allowed him to do the lead in at the 5:00 time slot, and let Sean do the actual interviews. Remember, they have producers. I do agree that Sean needs to use diverse vocabulary and get rid of the Great, great, great, American panel. I can’t stomach Bob Beckel when he’s on. Other than that, I think Sean has a solid program and wouldn’t wish Alan Colmes back on there for love or money. I couldn’t stand him. He was another one who had nothing but talking points and was a robot for obama. I often wonder if Fox didn’t renew his contract, since he only shows up occasionally on Fox & Friends or BOR.

I can only take a little of Glenn as well. Be careful, or he will become a cult-like figure for some of you - just as obama is for the left.

I don’t agree with Beck on many things, but, I do think he is passionate about what he believes. He’s a Libertarian, and they have some weird views.

Mark Levin also doesn’t agree with Beck saying that there isn’t any difference between the 2 parties. There really is, and Beck will say that because he is a Libertarian.

I still like Sean because I think he is a great American. Sorry for the cliche, but, if you’ll all remember, he was the only one hitting the obama connections during the campaign.

I like Beck as well, but, think his novelty will also wear thin in time.

Please name some. I think Beck's becoming more of the classical liberal. I don't know if he's gone out and joined the Libertarian party.

Are you talking about abortion and open borders?

The membership of the Libertarian party, I'm told, is about evenly split on abortion. They are wrong to not be pro-life. Open borders makes no sense from a self-preservation point of view and the Libertarian party is suicidal to support it, especially in a time of a massive welfare state.

From a programming standpoint, that's definitely the risk. People who say BOR should be moved are out of their minds. Well, they just aren't thinking in terms of RATINGS, which is the bottom line scorecard. Nothing else matters. BOR has a long track record as number 1. He's not going to be moved. In fact, they use him to pimp Beck's show.

Beck is all gravy for FOX, because you don't expect those numbers out of his time slot. I think they'll leave him right there. It ain't broke, don't fix it. If he keeps up these kind of numbers for a year or two, maybe Hannity might need to start worrying. But Hannity has consistently good numbers too. I like Greta's show. I actually like her. But she might not survive if they juggle the lineup at some point. It's all moot to me now, since I cancelled my TV service.
