In the spirit of bipartisan cooperation and understanding I came up with this list of Conservatives voices I “like” and enjoy listening to (even though I don’t necessarily agree with them) because they present logical rather than just emotional partisan arguments. In other words listening to them my head doesn’t necessarily explode:
- Francesca Chambers
- Kathleen Parker
- Ron Fournier
- David Brooks
- Haley Barbour
- George Will
- David Broder
- David Frum
- Pat Buchanan
- Paul Gigot
- Joe Scarborough
- Irving Kristol
- William Kristol
- Peggy Noonan
- Thomas Sowell
- Walter E. Williams
- Dennis Prager
Newt Gingrich(removed from my list back on Sept 13, 2010)- Megan McArdle (Libertarian)
- Michael Brendan Dougherty (@michaelbd). Politics editor for Business Insider.
- Susan Molinari a former Congresswoman, journalist, and lobbyist from New York.
- Susan Del Percio a New York-based Republican strategist
- Mark McKinnon writing at Mark McKinnon – The Daily Beast
- Michelle Bernard —
- Nicolle Wallace
- Mike Murphy
- Steve Schmidt
- Meghan McCain
…to name a few. I also once enjoyed reading the late Jeane Kirkpatrick and I often read and still read William F. Buckley’s & his National Review. My late father was a big fan of Barry Goldwater so I’ve read both material about him and by him.
So far I’ve managed to resist publishing my list of the conservatives I can’t stand, think are repulsive and vulgar, and think aren’t worth listening too but it will be coming one of these days.
