> Ridiculous. I have listened to Savage for three years. He is too self centered, and thinks he is better than he is. BUT he is certainly not a liberal. He criticizes Pelosi and Kennedy all the time. He just realizes that Bush is selling this country down the river. Savage sure has alot of passion for someone who’s conservatism is only an act. I find him to be very anti-communist. And furthermore, I have never heard him agree with raising the min. wage, in fact just the opposite, i have heard him criticize win. wage a few times. And, he has taken actions. He helped stop the Dubai ports take over, he sends money for the defense of court-martialed marines, etc.
You nailed it, slow5poh. Savage may be a bit of a blowhard, but his passion is genuine and he is definitely conservative. I may not always agree with him but you always get the sense that nobody has, or will, own him. He will never “carry water” for someone he’s smoked cigars with in some elite $5,000 a plate political dinner, or toady up with someone who is bad for America (like Rooty) because they’re pals. Savage is the real deal.
I heard a segment where Savage said (paraphrase), ‘The liberal George Bush is going to give billions to fight aids in Africa-not that the people will ever see this money, we should raise the minimum wage for Americans since we are so willing to give our money to foreigners’. Actually, the minimum has been the same for years-I could care a less if they raise it.
