O'Reillyistics

And where in the hell does O'Reilly get these "facts" of his? Me, I'm beginning to think that he simply makes them up (some of them anyway). I mean, just yesterday (for example), he said that 40% of the population is conservative (40% moderate, 20% liberal). Compare this to the recent figure which states that only 21% of the U.S. population identifies itself as Republican and, yeah, Mr. O'Reilly's numbers do seem to stretch credulity a tad or two..................................................................P.S. And, yes, folks, I do understand that conservatism and Republicanism aren't necessarily always the same. But, really, even if you throw all those blue-dog Democrats and those of a Libertarian nature into the mix, I'm not really seeing that 40% here. Maybe if Obama and the Democrats continue with the deficit spending and all. Maybe then. But not now.
