Well, conservatives like little government interference in their lives; so a Texas rancher is conservative. But we're talking about talk radio and I'd bet the majority of Rush's audience are suburban folk. Talk to a liberal, what's their top issue? Well it depends on who you talk to. For some it's labor, for others it's the environment, for others it's poverty, etc. And that doesn't change. Talk to a conservative, what's their top issue? It's whatever Rush (in the generic sense) was talking about that day. It used to be taxes or gun control or abortion. These days it's judicial activism. The point is liberals are disparate groups of special interests while conservatives are aligned on one axis. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:154634 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
