Polls don't mean much isolation, which your data is -- totally isolated.

I am a Republican.  Well, not so much because the Republicans are  
nearly as stupid as the Democrat Party, but that aside.  I am a  
Libertarian but since they don't count, I am generally a Republican.   
I was very unhappy through the last election cycle because the  
'Pubbies are just as bad as the Democrat Socialists -- that aside.

I listen to National People's Radio.

Why?

I want to know that the Socialists are up to.  So, I am being  
COUNTED, thought I don't agree one whit with National People's Radio!

But, I am counted.

So, don't think that just because some Republicans are listening to  
National People's Radio, they AGREE with it.

One more thing.  I AM REALY UPSET THAT MY TAX DOLLARS ARE BEING USED  
TO SUPPORT NATIONAL PEOPLE'S RADIO!

THEY NEVER THANK US FOR THE MONEY STOLEN FROM US!

I would rather hear advertisements than the current 20 minutes an  
hour of begging.

At least with ads, I get to hear about sales, and low cost car  
financing.
