AZ,
I'm starting to regret even putting Savage on the list, as I can't stand the fact that people fall for his fake "conservatism." And I'm not saying that he is a leftie. I'm saying that the man has no consistent political views at all, but is driven simply by rage. Of course, it's possible to be an angry, rage-aholic conservative. But Savage doesn't demonstrate any real, consistent conservatism. Just rage. Or periods of melancholy during which he despises all politicians and pundits.
As for Rush, if he's faking it - he's given his whole life to it. For the purposes of this poll, I'm just asking about the views he espouses, not what he might secretly believe in private moments with Cokie Roberts. The same goes for everyone else. I mean, we don't take politicians at face value, do we?
William Buckley - a foundational ideologue of modern American conservatism, and founder of The National Review magazine.
Phyllis Schlafly - St. Louis-based educator, best known for leading the fight
against the Equal Rights Amendment. She still hosts a radio show, if you like hearing phone calls from the most dim-bulb Christian conservative lack-wits out there. (Did I say that out-loud?
) Her voice is slightly better than that of leftist twit NPR host Diane Rehm.
George Will - columnist and pundit
James Dobson - child-psychologist, and head of Focus on the Family. Like the NRA, Focus on the Family has programs specifically aimed toward it's titular focus (in FotF's case, family life issues), while also having a political arm. His radio program is likewise split between gushy family stuff and "I found Jesus" testimonies, and political messages.
