alright.. i havent read all these posts so sorry if someone said this.. but i doubt it.. I LOVE THE SHOW.... lets get that out of the way.. i am sick of freebeer inadvertantly blowing obama and bashing mcain over bs.. that said.. i do not like mcain.. im a conservative and he isnt... zane and hotwings just kinda shut up when fb says dumb stuff.. which is fine.. just wish fb realized that by talking about it at all he is saying what his opinion is and NO ONE wants to talk politics cause no one agrees totally and feelings get hurt way too easy for some

ps hearing fb say " we dont talk issues, we talk canidates" is like a sorority girl saying i "never do this" before she filates her 5th football player of the night.... you can say it all you want but no one believes you!!!!!!!!!!!! WHORE!! ( not u freebeer )

A quick lesson in semantics, they avoid talking about politics at all costs. What they have been doing is talking about politicians, it just so happens that everything is happening in the political realm. If any of the Presidential or Vice Presidential candidates did something dumb at a baseball game, they'd still talk about that. Of course, then some dirty pile would call in and complain they're talking about politics.

First of all, he got that from my post (see above), so any problems you have with that you can take up with me.

Now, whether or not you can wrap your head around that is not a concern of mine, the fact is that it's true. They almost always try to stop people from talking about abortion, or religion, or whatever other topic the callers bring up, and they always try to stick to strictly making fun of whichever candidate happens to be on their radar.

Also, exclamation points directly relate to post quality, so awesome work on that one.

Hopefully after the election, politics will become a back burner issue. At least until the campaigning for the next election starts... which will probably be the day after election... son of a...

I always say when in company don't talk Politics or Religion. Someone is bound to get their panties in a twist.

There may be many other segments where they talked about politics, but these were the only ones labeled as having anything to do with the election. Again, I'm not saying this proves anything, but it may be useful.

ummmm...what else are they gonna talk about when there is less than a week before everyone votes? i personally think they spend just enough time talking about it...and it's always to poke fun of, not preach from their soapbox. they don't revolve the entire show around politics so relax...it's almost over.................nice job with the research patfromportland=)

Really?!!? Are you serious? HW and zane 'kinda' shut up? What show are you listening to anyway? Guess your selective hearing is picking up what other delusions you have. You probably want to bang the crazy old hag lady who hasn't been touched by a comb or bath in years from the Mccain rally who is convinced that Obama is a terrorist EVEN after Mccain told her it wasn't true. Maybe you are that 'tard a-hole who called and said" "non-partisian" means liberal" Or maybe you can go hang out with Joe the Plumber and make up your own politico statements and not have anything to back up your stanky views.

Anyway, the show I listen to has Zane hating both Mccain and Obama, HW's being the ultra-conservitive stumping for Mccain and addmitting he listens to Rush (bet you just blew your wad on that tidbit :-*) and FB saying he's voting for Obama.

If you can't hear that is what is being said, go pray to be a loofah in Bill O'Reilly's and and shut your pie-hole!

I hope they don't change anything. I like the show the way it is.

For those who think politics are talked about too often on the show, keep in mind that in many occasions, politics are spoken about because the talk was first initiated by a caller. You've only got yourselves to blame!

[0rz0ski]

Yeah, I agree. Try searching for "a hole callers" and there's more political talkin' in those segments.
