It is astounding that some idiots still buy the drivel that he is a conservative of any sort.
I have, although his treasonous attitudes towards border security anger me the most. He merely masquarades as a conservative on the radio. His buddy Hugh Hewitt is equally bad. Several years ago I actually heard Hewitt admit to a caller that he was a moderate and not a conservative.
I suppose we need to begin to define "conservative" for FR folk as many accept a few people (if they were elected Republicans, we call the, RINOs) as conservative that are simply not.
Unless you believe in the liberty of the individual over government power, you simply are not conservative.
My hubby and I got into it over GWB, whom I declared not conservative but more conservative than his DemocRAT opponent. Compared to other Republicans in the 2000 Primary, however, GWB was not even in the top three conservatives but he was what the "wizards of smart" we're calling "the most electable" as they did Mitt!
People have short memories, however, when the GOP elite claim anyone the "most electable," usually they are not electable at all, so let's get used to hearing elites tell us how much they know compared to us and understand that they might have some degree in underwater basket weaving that we lack but when it comes to "street smarts" our gut usually is right, not them!
I am also offended at hearing this commentator or that one labeled as " conservative" when they are no such thing. They merely are more conservative than, say, Michael Moore!
The fact is on the national scene, there may only be three, four max commentators that qualify as true conservatives.
Yes, there are plenty libertarian/conservative commentators but not plain conservatives.
Meds is a closet liberal - worked for RAT candidates years ago.
Do you really need to use that kind of language to discuss politics in public?
He was more than liberal, he was a leader of the left, a propagandist, and opinion shaping man, and that is still what he does today, except from his new position of the middle, to slightly right of center.
Medved lives to propagandize, and to counter the right, he is always pushing his audience gently towards the middle, always massaging them to moderate.
In 2012 it was worse, he was very enthusiastic for Romney.
