I have been considering this rabid 100%erims and it seems to me this is the downside of the Talk Radio revolution. Other then Rush, Hugh Hewitt and Tony Snow most of our "Talking Heads" simply lack the moral courage or intellectual discipline to actually stand FOR anything. They simply have not intellectually made the switch from being the Minority to being the Majority. To many of them simply used "Conservatism" as their selling point with no real commitment to Conservative values. They merely read their email to find out what their position should be. The end result is this negative feedback loop we see. The Talking Heads tell the Conservative Base that they should be all pissed off about this or that because the Conservative base is writing and calling them to bitch about this or that.

Out Talking Heads are so caught up in the perpetual whining they simply have FORGOTTEN to think about anything. Since all they hear is negative, all the say is negative. We have no echo chamber educating on Conservatism anymore. The end result is virtually no one is speaking the Conservatives message anymore. They simply regurgitate the issues and slogans of the Political Leftist. They have become Moveon.org's echo chamber.

Watching this is like watching a car skidding on ice, you can see the crash coming but you cannot seem to wake the drivers up to the danger they are putting themselves in!

Great comment Johnnie, and true.

Putting pressure on Republicans to be more conservative is fine, but tearing the conservative movement apart to make the point is a terrible mistake.

Politics is the blood of a Democracy, and even conservatives have to acknowledge it.

Most talking heads lack courage to stand for anything

Excellent post MNJ!

In addition to being a general wack-job Savage is guilty of this. He is real big on giving GWB a hard time and listing the ultimate Conservative position on everything under the sun but real weak on dealing with the real world as it is. He ought to try it some time.

#197, Post of the day. I have been saying similar things for the last two years. savage and Ingraham, and now Hannity are the best examples. They think that what they say is the most important and cogent thought out there any day any time. They believe that they have a handle on every problem known to man,just ask them and they will bloviate. Did you ever hear them say "well I don't know anything about that, or I do not have an opinion on that"? No way in Hell will they say that they are not up on this or that they just shoot their mouths off, and never give themselves a chance to look at the new Story hitting the headlines in a big picture pragmatic way. They just bluster through and then look really stoopid when the Media Hubbub cools down and the truth and facts come out.

Man you nailed it again. You deserve the two posts of the day on these home runs. I like Laura's funny stuff but the border garbage is horrible to listen to. The constant Bushbashing by Hannity to make himself look "Conservative" is unlistenable. Rush is the only one that will defend the President because he realizes he has to since nobody else will. Great job.

For many Conservatives it is far easier to run than stay and fight.

This is another zinger of a post--many of our talking heads on radio do whine constantly and do not act like majority people but rather minority, that needs to change.
