His ego is so large it holds an atmosphere. True conservatives with brains would want this guy lost. The conservative that makes the most sense to me by far is George Will. Dont even put O'Reilly close to George Will. They are made of completely different material. Whenever I see "fair and balanced" and "the spin stops here" I want to throw up. But I watch it anyway to see if some good stuff comes out an it does on occassion. O'Reilly reminds me of that liberal gal on the McGlau... (sp?) Group. Quick catchy comments that lack depth. Be fooled if you must Rupert. Got to find someone else, my suggestion, George Will.
Pat Buchanan also makes sense. So much sense I think he is dangerous. But at least he is straight up.

You missed my point about O'Reilly. I'm not saying that I'm a big O'Reilly fan. I actually think he's kind of a jerk. I certainly agree with him more often than I disagree with him, but I still find him obnoxious at times.
I agree with you that George Will is very bright.
With regard to his lawsuit aginst Al Franken, I don't remember the details so I can't really comment on it. I will say that Al Franken is not just a comedian any more. He is a liberal commentator and he he has said that he is seriously considering running for office. I think people do take him seriously, so if O'Reilly felt that Franken slandered him, I can understand why he sued him.
With regard to politicians that I admire, one of my favorite politicians is a democrat. I really like the congressman Harold Ford. He seems like a real straight-shooter who is pretty non-partisan. That's the kind of politican I like. I would vote for him if he was a congresman in my state. If he ever runs for President, I would consider voting for him. He seems like a guy who can work well with people on both sides of the aisle.
