But it doesn't.
I don't even quote Fox news that often!

Now, Glenn Beck just said this:

  • Until recently, for most of the 8 years I've been posting here, my primary news source was the PBS News Hour.
    While I'm clear about my conservative beliefs, I read and quote many sources, and am not a partisan kneejerk shill for the GOP position.

    As I've said many times:
    I voted Bush Sr in 1988.
    I voted Ross Perot in 1992.
    I voted Ross Perot again in 1996.
    I voted Ralph Nader in 2000 (if I'd known more about Buchanan at the time I moght have voted for him instead)
    I reluctantly voted Bush in 2004 because the Democrats gave us the unthinkable nominee John Kerry, and relative to that, Bush was the better choice.
    I voted McCain for the same reason, while making clear my distance from McCain on issues like amnesty for illegals, free trade, and "we are all Georgians".

    I've even said that if I were old enough to vote in 1976, I would have voted for Jimmy Carter, because regardless of his later performance, he was a boy scout of a candidate and had the moral character anyone would want in a president, despite a performance as president that would have made me later regret that vote.
    (Although since I said that, Carter has diminished his own character in recent years, in negotiating with the N. Koreans and screwing us, siding with the Palestinians against Israel in a way that is arguably anti-semitic, partisanly bashing Fox News a week ago, etc.)

    Does THAT sound like someone merely repeating GOP talking points from some GOP slander-site?

    No, it definitely doesn't.

    The two guys I quote most are Pat Buchanan and Glenn Beck, both of whom are far more critical of the Republican party than most Republicans or Conservatives. Both are critical of both parties.

    Because you have some kind of axe to grind against me, or just out of pure troll behavior, you keep alleging something that clearly isn't true.

    I've described how on issues like U.S. global military police action, abortion, immigration, and other issues, my opinion has flipped 180 degrees to the opposite of what I believed in 10 years ago. Again: that is not what someone who is a partisan shill does.



    If you continue to call me the "conservative M E M", you are deliberately misrepresenting the truth that is obvious in my posts. I'm a conservative, yeah, so of course I often prefer what the Republicans advocate. But my voting record and my frequent dissent is very clear on many issues, over 8 years of posts.

    You can more fairly make the "conservative M E M" of others here. And I think you know that mold doesn't fit me before you even post the words.


I hate the Liberal Media!
