I doubt that Chuck. I see it all the time. Every time someone shows
their bias against rich people, or those who somehow feel that the
rich should pay a disproportionately higher percentage of tax than any
one else, for no other reason than "they can afford it". All this so
that liberals can fix "the ills of society" by throwing taxpayer money
at it. That's counter to the basic principles of freedom (With
personal responsibility) and free market capitalism.

The further to the left your ideology goes, the closer to socialism
you get.

No, you don't "see it all the time".
You hear about it all the time on AM radio.
All most people know about liberals is what Rush LImbaugh tells them. :-)

Gould,

It may not be the attitude of most liberals, but we see it everyday in the
posts made by Harry, jps, bb and Basskisser. What you do not understand is
that the majority of conservatives do not listen to talk radio, Rush or any
of the other talking heads who spew propaganda.

When you assume they do, you are guilty of generalization and demonizing the
enemy, the same thing that you accuse AM radio talk shows of doing.

While you may sincerely believe that most conservatives do not listen to the
radio propaganda, those shows have the largest listening audience, by far, of
anything on the radio. Somebody is listening, and probably only about 5-10% of
the audience are liberals like myself trying to get some advance indication of
what the "talking points" for the following week are going to be.

As regularly as clockwork, whatever spews forth on Hannity, Limbaugh, Savage,
etc will be repeated almost verbatim by millions of zealots within a very few
days.

The left is no less guilty, just not as well organized. :-)

Gould,

I agree that the talk radio propaganda shows do have a large audience, what
I disagree with is that the majority of conservatives listen to them. To
have the majority of conservatives listening to talk radio, they would have
to have approx. 50,000,000 people tuning into talk radio, normally during
the working day. The majority of people work and do not have the ability to
listen to talk radio during the day, even if they wanted to, which I am not
certain they would want to.

The few times I have listened to talk radio, the majority of the
conversation is "entertainment" and like the tabloid newspapers, some of
what they say is correct, it is just very hard to figure out the BS from the
facts.

I think you put too much credence into the size of their audience and those
that believe everything they say.

The liebrals just believe that the same must be true about the conservatives
that is true about liebrals....i.e. what ever the talking points spew out,
that is what ever good liebral must believe......look at krause and
asslicker....... :-)

The primary thing most people I know have picked up from talk radio is to
question so called 'stats' and to look beyond the sound bite, and not to
look toward guvmint to solve all your problems.

Liar. You're not curious at all. If you were, you'd simply call your
senator's office and ask for the information you mentioned above. You'd
get
it, and easily.

Dealing with political offices is an exercise in frustration.

It's probably easier to search on the web. Point being that there is
little factual information here and lots of speculation.

Weenie. You keep closing doors. YOU said "I'd be curious...". It's easy to
find out how presidents voted on legislation. You're either too lazy, or you
really don't want the answer to your question. Someone here would almost
certainly ask you to post a link, and the information might let the air out
of your argument.

The problem is he believes it.

Everything Chuck said was his opinion and his opinion only.

He tried to state it as fact, but he just made it up as he went along.

That last statement is your "hug me pillow". By continuing to promote
the idea that the only opposition to your ideals are coming from Rush
Limbaugh, it re-enforces your notion that yours are the correct views.
It's little more than a convoluted denial, Chuck. Rush Limbaugh merely
gives a high profile voice to feelings that have been held by many
mainstream Americans for MANY years now (long before Limbaugh was on
the radio). That's why he (and other conservative shows) are so
immensely popular. It's little more than preaching to the choir. Rush
isn't planting these ideas, he's just repeating them.

Yes, I do "see it all the time", as I am far more connected than the
simple talk radio listener that you are trying to discredit me as.

Or if they were so inclined as to actually PROVE me wrong, THEY could
post the link.

In any case, I have already gotten one answer, and if you believe the
link that Chuck provided, then Bush HAS vetoed at least one spending
bill.....

Hell you don't need to hear it from talk radio......you have the liebral
