This AM I heard a call in to a radio talk show that began “I’m a Republican and a Conservative...” and went on to support arguements that were neither. This kind of talk always makes me suspicious.
They are called "seminar callers."
My wife and I were laughing about that when listening to a talk radio show. When a caller starts w/ something like “I’m a life-long Republican ... “ you know they’re a liberal calling. Never fails.
I don’t understand, though, why conservatives are championing someone who brags about her and her husband’s membership in labor unions, took profits from oil companies and gave them to citizens (isn’t that what Hugo Chavez does?), and is one of the biggest takers of earmarks. And there must have been a hundred threads here over time vilifying working mothers. It seems like everyone’s values have changed overnight.
