right-wing blogs we like

  • The Reagan Wing
    Hearin lies the real heart of Washington State Republicans. Doug Parris runs this red-meat social conservative group site which bars no holds when it comes to saying who they are and who they're not; what they believe and what they don't; who their friends are and where the rest of the Republicans can go. Well-written, and flaming.
  • Orbusmax
    inexhaustible Drudgery of NW conservative news
  • The Radio Equalizer
    prolific former Seattle KVI, KIRO talk host speaks authoritatively about radio.

The circus continues!

This GOP devastation really has one author--Newt Gingrich.  He was the architect of the filthy politics that turned the Congress into the mess we have today.  It's nice to see that good old mudslinging claimed Newt this year as its permanent poster-child.  After this he won't be able to run for cover, let alone for any office.

And now, with the cat-fighting between Romney and Santorum, the process is complete.  The GOP in infected all the way down.  Whoever wins this contest in Michigan will be hated and reviled by at least one third of the country's Republicans.  Who could ask for more?  R.R.

Mitt was just called the winner. In fact, CNN cut away from Ricky's speech to announce it. I think all 4 will be there until the bitter end.

Yes, a brokered convention. The GOP is going to throw a lot of money away

Karl Rove says no brokered convention. Do you think he's fibbing? He was adamant about it.

If there was a brokered convention, I would like to see Jon Huntsman brought to the floor as a nominee - maybe the Repugs will see how they blew it by dissing him because he served the country in this adminstration as Ambassador to China.

That would be my wish, but in all probability, its a pipe dream...

Probably wont happen until the ultra conservatives are replaced by moderates.

And the Republican nominee will be . . . Mitt Romney. Like it or not.

Some guy contributed $8 million (if I heard it right) to Buddy Romer who is the Americans Elect candidate. Hoping I'm sure to scrape votes away from the Democrats. Romer is an idiot.

    • KIRO 710ESPN Seattle 710 KHz
      Games and sports-blabber
    • KIROFM 97.3
      Multi-format: news and nearly all local talk. This is where classic KIRO AM news talk radio went... hopefully, not to die. The home of Dave Ross & Luke Burbank, Dori Monson, Ron & Don, Frank Shiers, Bill Radke, Linda Thomas, Tony Miner and George Noory.
    • KUOW FM 94.9
      Seattle's foremost public radio news and talk.
    • KVI am 570 KHz
      Visit the burnt-out husk of one of the seminal right-wing talkers in all the land. Here's where once trilled the reactionary tones of Rush Limbaugh, John Carlson, Kirby Wilbur, Mike Siegel, Peter Weissbach, Floyd Brown, Dinky Donkey, and Bryan Suits. Now it's Top 40 hits from the '60's & '70's aimed at that diminishing crowd who still remembers them and can still hear.
    • KTTH am 770 KHz
      Right wing home of local, and a whole bunch of syndicated righties such as Glennn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larsony, and for an hour a day: live & local David Boze.
    • KPTK am 1090 KHz
      Syndicated liberal talk. Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Norman Goldman fill in the large hole to the left on Northwest radio dial.
    • KLFE AM 1590 kHz
      Syndicated right-wing 2nd stringers like Mark Levin, Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Dennis Miller and Hugh Hewitt inhabit this timid-voiced neighbor honker for your radio enjoyment (unless you're behind something large like Costco).

      News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson.
    • Washington State Radio Stations
      Comprehensive list of every danged AM & FM station on the dial.
