While I'm sure McCain and his campaign crew would love for the Roarers to just shut up (the hell with endorsing him), I don't think they are inflicting irreparable harm. Ditto-heads and the like might sit home if their heroes have not finally come around for McCain, but most Americans are just not following this stuff as closely as we are, and if there is anything that is sticking it's probably a positive impression. I doubt too many people who will seriously weigh McCain as a possible choice over either of the Democrats are going to turned off by the fact that the Roarers of The Right don't love McCain. More likely the opposite.
Why do you now commence to insult some of the largest and most informed talk show audiences in the country, Finn?
If you are a member of one or more of these audiences and feel insulted, I apologize.
By "Ditto-Heads" I didn't mean all any and all of the audience of these pundits, but I do mean the sycophants that call in to tell Rush or Sean that they are the greatest Americans in the world, and decide what to believe by listening to these shows and determining what Rush and Sean believe.
I don't have any more respect for someone who allows themselves to be totally enthralled by a radio personality, because the personalities are conservative. This is not to say I believe you to be a thrall of Limbaugh or Hannity. If I did I would not have apologized.
I agree with Limbaugh and Hannity on a lot of issues, but then I agree with a lot of conservatives on a lot of issues. The difference, for me, between them and a lot of other conservatives is that they are self-absorbed, and have a sense of self-importance that I do not find appealing. Perhaps this is simply part of on-air personaes that have proven successful for them, but their on-air personaes are the only Limbaugh and Hannity I know.
I find laughable the notion that many liberals love to float; that they're somehow dangerous saboteurs of American democracy. I don't take the notion that they are omniscient super patriots very seriously either.
If come November they are encouraging their listeners to sit home rather than vote for McCain I will be displeased. If their listeners sit home rather than voting for McCain I will be displeased. I doubt that will matter to Limbaugh, Hannity or their followers, nor do I see why it should, but I may want to pop off about it in this forum.
Hillary will win the Democrat Party's so-called super delegates and thereby will win all the Florida and Michigan delegates for enough to surpass Obama.
