I liked him at one time but then he got so full of himself that it became a chore to listen to him. He went South when he had his first book and his program seemed to become nothing but one long commercial for him and his products.

I haven’t listened to him or watched him in well over a year.

I am also having hard time right now listening to Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt, both of whom I have liked for a long time. Hopefully once this election has come and gone the talk show hosts will get back to the kind of things that have made them the backbone of the conservative movement for the last few years.

I am doing the best I can to take all of this in, but with so many months left to go I might be forced to simply drop out until after the election. I don’t honestly feel as though I can add much to anyone’s campaign. I tapped myself out with a couple of contributions to FredT and I’m just not that impressed with any of those left on the playing field.

I seem to be the kiss of death for a candidate. I really liked Newt then he self-destructed in that farce of a debate with Gore. I supported and really was interested in FredT, but his campaign just seemed to sit there and sog, sorta like my mini-wheats when I don’t eat them quick enough. I moved to Rudy thinking at least we’d have someone with some fire in his belly who would give them what-for if necessary. He put all his eggs in one basket and when that didn’t work he endorsed the one of the bunch that I have the least use for.

What’s a guy to do? I can only take so much abuse and I’ve had my share for this election.

I fear my only route to sanity now is to drop out and pick up again after the election.

To tell the truth, I’ve listened to him about five times in the last five years. It’s not that I don’t like him, I just haven’t put that on the top of my list of things to do.

As for him being full of himself, I think that’s part of his schtik. I laugh at it.

As for your idea to drop out until after the election, I’ve given it some thought. I hate to just leave for months at a time, but his is going to be a real pain watching folks talk up the likes of McCain all year.
