Listening to Ed Schultz today
and heard him blast the use of the term "neocon." He said we need to just start calling them Republicans. Too many so-called moderate Republicans are trying to dissociate themselves with the failures of this administration by blaming everything on the neocons.

Seemed to be a hot button for him -- in case you're thinking of calling his show.

2. I'll drink to that
Link every republican to the bush administration. If they don't like it they can switch parties. I agree with Ed on this.

3. Does anybody else
kinda feel that Big Eddie sways to whichever way the wind blows?I mean if you turn on his program without really listening to the content you'd swear you were either listening to a Rush wannabe or the asshole himself.Just the tone and pitch of his voice.I don't know maybe it's just me but years of listening to the real deal Randi makes me a little bit wary.I KNOW she's always sincere and passionate.

5. Yeah

I agree, I'm never really sure about Ed...there's just something I can't quite put my finger on, but he makes me uncomfortable. Reminds of the uncle you never wanted to sit next to at family get togethers.

Cheers!

6. I disagree.
Ed is a centrist. Definitely more to the right of where I am, but he is mostly on our side. He is also someone who can appeal to fence sitters. I'm glad he is in our tent, even if I don't agree with his every position.

7. I don't know about the fence sitters.
In my experience they are mostly moderate Republican in ideology and really need a salvation type conversion, not someone who appeals to them. IMHO.

8. and annoying.
I can never make it through her entire show. Maybe because she almost invariably resorts to name-calling directed at a caller.

Sincere? Absolutely. Passionate? Often I have to substitute hysterical.
