With republicans, I mean. Sites like The Moferate Voice

Discuss these issues every day and from perspectives I can often respect. The link above leads to what they're saying for instance about the whole Huckabee/Limbaugh competitive issues emerging.

What I also find particularly interesting is the comment section.These guys are self-respecting, conservative and they want Limbaugh gone:

"God I hope he’s right.

When Limbaugh first hit the airwaves in the late ’80s I found him amusing, entertaining, a refreshing change of pace, agreeing with him about 50% of the time and still finding him engaging and funny the other 50% of the time.

As time went on it got boring, and he got more radical and irrational, and I finally couldn’t take it anymore.

On the occasions when I would listen to him again it was the same way: amusing for a few minutes, but usually in fairly short order repellant.

A year or two ago I was stuck in a part-time mostly-volunteer job where a (good friend) listened to Limbaugh (and Hannity) constantly, incessantly. It obviously pushed his buttons and made him angry and he was somewhat addicted to that anger. I was mostly repulsed by it but I would sigh and, instead of gritting my teeth and getting upset, would take a sort of zenlike “ok, this is the way some people think, I don’t have to” and mostly tune it out."
