If liberals want to hear liberal opinion all they have to do is turn on about anything (except Fox) & they hear exactly what they want to hear (someone that agrees with them). there are no liberal networks in the US. well, none in the MSM anyway. i don't think that FOX is particularly biased either, for the record- except in the way that the rest of the MSM is- pro-corporate, and pro-government.The big difference between conservatives & liberals is when conservatives here Rush they know which items are real & which aren't. Liberals believe everything put out by the liberal party. the Liberal party is quite small here. too small for newsmaking. and the Democratic party is not very liberal.I never could understand how they could believe an obvious falsehood but I've always been amazed that someone could get talked into buying a bridge. I guess that I'm easily amazed. truly. i am not amazed at anything anymore, other than the profound ignorance of certain people in power.

Or building a bridge? To nowhere, perhaps?

Actual headline: Boehner briefed Limbaugh on debt plan
Posters headline: Boehner asks Rush for stamp of approval
Looks to me like the OP came here to taunt some conservatives & try to get an argument going. Kind of against the rules.

"We have found the enemy, and he is us." That's an old hat slogan. It's been updated to: "We have found the enemy & they are spending our money".

If liberals want to hear liberal opinion all they have to do is turn on about anything (except Fox) & they hear exactly what they want to hear (someone that agrees with them). For conservatives it comes down mostly to Rush or Fox. So Rush fills a void. I used to see him on TV & he was usually right about once per day on something. The rest of the time it was more in the line of "entertainment". Even being right once a day was refreshing compared to listening to liberal media which was wrong 99% of the time. The big difference between conservatives & liberals is when conservatives here Rush they know which items are real & which aren't. Liberals believe everything put out by the liberal party. I never could understand how they could believe an obvious falsehood but I've always been amazed that someone could get talked into buying a bridge. I guess that I'm easily amazed. oldtex: Spot on and well said.... K to you.....

Bill Maher is not a comedian, he is sarcastic and demeaning, especially towards women. I believe the bacteria from the grotto has infiltrated his brain. I have heard Rush speak at an RNC event and he spoke without a telepromter and was quite impressive. The liberals will demean anyone that doesn't fit into their little club of the nanny state and what big government dictates.

Boehner asks Rush for stamp of approval
Boehner is now asking the Tea Party for their stamp of approval to vote for a plan to cut spending but only raise the debt ceiling for only six months which the dems don't like and the Tea Party needs to cut at least $4.0 Trillion over the next ten years to balance the budget.

Never claimed to be unbiased- conservatives make my skin crawl- but it still doesn't make Maher a 'liberal'. I hate absolutes and the application of the liberal label to anyone that doesn't follow the conservative handbook to the letter. I'm not a liberal- I might be a hell of a lot closer to one than to a conservative, but I'm still independent. Something amusing about how you deride labels in the same post decrying that 'conservatives make your skin crawl'. They voluntarily labeled themselves- and I am referring to anyone that accepts that label and those that accuse everyone that disagrees with them a liberal. I also think that if I can predict what side someone is going to take on any given issue 100% of the time, then maybe they deserve a label- they seem to wear it as a badge of honor anyway.
