I had to take a break from conservative talk radio, just to see what other opinions are out there. After more than 2 weeks of listening to progressive talk radio (Thom Hartman, Stephanie Miller and Ed Schultz) for 8 hours a day, I have to say I honestly do not see the difference! I hear as much complaining about what is going on with the healthcare bill from progressives who say President Obama is not going far enough as there are conservatives complaining that he goes too far! I even heard one host say that Obama is too conservative. They are disapointed that he is not Liberal enough, while conservatives call him a Socialist. Callers calling to complain about the stimulus package not doing enough to create jobs, complaining that the healthcare bill wouldn't tax Union held cadillac policies, complaining that the conservatives don't want to work with them, but they (progressives) aren't going to conceded anything they feel is important. I am even hearing progressives complain about the "main stream" media! Basically it looks to me like everyone is on the same page, "I'm mad at everyone who isn't part of my "party" and would rather die than to work with those unamerican (insert either conservatives or liberals here) idiots!" Meanwhile, the rest of us are just "smh"!
