I wonder when the next Arbitron ratings come out. It will be interesting to see if audiencenumbers have dropped.

If you ask me, Sean, Rush and others have been using this forum for a long time to find out what conservatives think.

Trolls have figured that out and they are using this board to give the impression that ALL conservatives feel "betrayed" by President Bush over immigration.

So, the talk-show hosts cater to their perceived audience, rant about immigration, and then the same trolls come on FR and say, "See, see! Even Rush agrees with us!"

It is a downward spiraling circle, and I am sick to death of it. I have turned off talk radio, don't post on most threads here, and have turned off Fox and Friends in the AM, because of this stupidity.

Personally, on immigration, I don't think that the tiered approach to how illegals are treated is either workable or constitutional. I do like the increased border security, and I do NOT want 12 million people forcibly deported while their wails and tears are shown 24/7 on television.

I continue to support the President, and I hope that talk radio comes to its senses. Right now most of them are acting like the caricatures of conservatives that the DU crowd often conjures up.

I think you're on target with the methodology of the trolls, and that Rush and Sean are using what they perceive to be the conservative mindset, and basing their programming on it.

Yesterday, I tried Rush again because there was SO much good stuff for him to get on the Dems for. I couldn't stomach the whole program, but it took him 2 and a half hours to finally get to William Jefferson, Democrat, Louisiana because he kept pounding on immigration.

They are missing the boat here, and I hope their ratings suffer for it. I like that Mark Bellings countered Rush a bit today. Good for him!

I'm beginning to suspicion they have been well trained to appear

as conservatives...smells like sleepers to me...trained to undermine from within -
