        I don't know, but I know lots and lots of folks in my area who watch and listen to it religiously 24/7. Their entire life revolves around it.

      I listen to Bill Press (he has a national show on XM radio every morning) on my way to work, and he has more facts in the first five minutes of his show Monday morning than Hannity does on his radio and TV shows together in a week.

        I was thinking the same thing. The only thing that keeps Press from being more mainstream is his unfortunate tendency to get a little nasal, which makes him sound like a whiner.

        Apparently, that characteristic is only welcome if you're a right wing talking head.

        Press's show is available online on AM1090 in Seattle. I've never listened to him much . . . too early for me, but he's on right before Stephanie Miller, who I love to listen to, even though I don't always agree with her take on things.

      I like how Hannity uses all of the buzz words. Frightening is one of his favorites!

      Little Seanie's getting a little threatened by Bill Press who certainly knows more about politics and doesn't regurgitate the ad hominems that Seanie dishes each day.

      And Bill probably has a college degree

      Wow!
      MMFA really scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one.
      Because he dissed someone most people have never heard of and mocked Maxine Waters. (The same person who said in 2004, "Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in fine shape, they don't need no stinkin' regulation)
      Slow news day?

        Slow poster day?

        You have proof of Waters' alleged statement, right? And Bill Press hosted Crossfire, so people have heard of him. It is not my fault the slow posters have not.

          I said "most" people. When did he host crossfire? and for how long? More importantly, who watched it?

        Were Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in fine shape in 2004?

        BTW, you are aware that the Democrats had no power to do anything in 2004 even if they had wanted to, right? The Republicans controlled both houses of Congress with a substantial majority in the House. They controlled all committees . . . Maxine Waters could have said and done anything, but the decisions that came out of those committees were controlled by the Republicans in them. Republicans still controlled Congress even after the 2006 elections. Nothing could have passed without assistance from the other side of the aisle and without approval from George W. Bush. The Democrats didn't have the votes.

        Try again.

          Here's the video of Waters statement;
          http://hotair.com/archives/2008/09/29/video-democrats-insist-nothing-wrong-at-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-in-2004/

          Just because you have a simple majority, doesn't mean every thing you want to pass, will. In 2004 the Republicans tried to propose a bill to regulate Fannie and Freddie, but wrote a bad bill that never made it to the floor for a vote.
          We know the Democrats all just vote for stuff because their party authored it, but republicans actually vote on things based on the merits of it. They wrote a bad bill and knew they wouldn't have the votes to pass it. Also there is a little thing called a filibuster, maybe you've heard of it? There are ways to kill debate on things even if you are the minority. Why do you think the democrats are so hung up on the 60 senator majority, they now hold. They CAN pass anything they want to. The republicans can't hold up debate in the senate.

      Is Hannity also a scumbag for exposing what is going on with the California farmers shut off from their water to protest a tiny little fish?

        Hannity is ALWAYS a scumbag. I've never seen any redeeming qualities in him. You are aware that he is in this just for the money, right? He has even stated that . . . he doesn't believe any of the crap he shovels, he's just riding on the ignorance and adoration of his fans.

            See, there you both go . . . you are the faux "conservatives" who the folks on Fox appeal to . . . if ANYBODY disagrees with you, they are automatically "liberals" or from "the left." Which, btw, is not some sort of evil ideology any more than TRUE conservatism. The problem is . . . if you buy the crap that is being shoveled on Fox, you are not a conservative. You are simply a Fox groupie. What these highly paid ENTERTAINERS are shoveling is not true conservatism . . . most true conservatives don't give Fox or Rush or any of the other phony conservatives the time of day. See, WE understand that it's pure bull.

            Listen carefully . . . just because someone disagrees with the bilge that is spewed on Fox does not mean they are "liberal," it means that they disagree with the bilge that is spewed on Fox and AGREEING with the bilge that is spewed on Fox does NOT make you a "conservative," it just makes you a low information person who doesn't take the time to research said bilge . . . you just agree with it.

            Carry on. :)

              Alright then. Since you seem to have figured everything out from the comfort of your computer chair, why don't you tell me what a conservative believes in. I'm a conservative and I thought I knew what I believed in but apparently you know better. So tell me what I, as a conservative, believe; because you obviously know more about what I believe than myself.
