Actually Joe describes himself as a Burkian conservative. That means liberal initiatives that he might once have disagreed with but are now institutionalized like medicare, he would now support because they have become part of the social contract between govt and people. There is much to like about Joe as opposed to know nothings like rush and the just say no crowd in congress. This country desparately needs its two party system back and guys like Joe and republican governors (more of those will be elected in next cycle as incumbants in both parties go down because of local woes) hopefully will lead with a moderate approach. Burkian cons will replace neos and paleos i think and have a chance to win congress back by 014. Obama will help save us and repubs will save us from any future excesses of big govt, if and only if they change their ways. Big IF indeed.

I agree he's not the malevolent arch-right type rush or folks like him are, but if you've been watching him since O took office, he has bashed it all...I was trying to make the point that this claim by cons that the media is liberal is over-hyped non sense. The MSM tries to be balanced...the right wing media is very ideologically right...there is no balance, despite the slogans by fox...they are so right that they have to keep using the words "fair and balanced" to keep from being labeled even by their followers.
