But there is a reason that there are no popular lefty whackos like Rush, etc..I don't need a blowhard to tell me how to think or to give me talking points or to affirm my beliefs..it sure seems that many republicans do and that the viatrolity coming from the airwaves is mimicked often. Again....being a liberal ain't the death knell...That Dani is my point. I don't hate Republicans, but I can guarantee you there are many, many more Republicans that do hate Liberals.

i can't stand rush limbaugh, and i don't understand his popularity. and you're right, it's not a death knell.
as for whether they have good ideas, they might be few and far between-but i'm sure every once in a while there's a good one somewhere. the trick is finding it under all the rubbish. but yeah, it seems difficult to find a good republican idea these days. what gets me is that they say they want smaller government, but continue to do the exact opposite of that.
