They may be bastards, but they're my bastards.
My question for the Republicans out there is whether you are satisfied with the people who appear to be the face of the GOP: I'm talking about people like Rush Limbaugh, the Fox News crew, Sarah Palin (who fits in with the Fox News crew now, I guess) and the newly elected senator from Massachusetts, who is noW being touted as a symbol of America's rejection of the Democratic policies. Do these people speak for you, as a Republican? Why or why not?

I think if I were a Republican I would be embarrassed by jackasses such as Limbaugh, Hannity, Palin et al.
I can recall hearing Hannity for the first time and thinking; "Who in the hell would listen to this phoney windbag?" But, that's me. Generally, when they start shouting "This is a Christian nation!!", is when I shut them off. And he does that ad nauseum.
I am registered as an independent, but I do lean left, so I would have to say Democrats should just be embarrassed. But I do like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, mainly for the humor aspect though. I've never found Limbaugh funny per se, even when I was a "ditto-head" long ago. At some point I decided he was just a monotonous asshole, and went back to listening to music.
