11. Open-Ended

Conservative Refuge is great. I don't follow any of the local liberal media trash in the state of Maryland. Started listening to the podcasts a month ago. I really enjoy the insights, but wish the shows ran 30-45 minutes to fit a whole show into my commute. Anthony Brown more of the same liberal BS we have had over the last 8 years They told us that the world would be so much better if run by women...... well? The Baltimore City Central Committee is a mess and friggin joke. Why don't you guys unload on them for a while. They can't find their asses. Get Rid of the RINO'S! Any Republican ticket in 2016 should have Dr. Ben Carson on it. Chairman Owe'MAOlley sucks! Do a poll on the anticipated top issues moving voters on November 4. That would be relevant info to help volunteers working for our Republican Candidates I'm actually a Highschool Student. Class of '16. Most all of us will be turning 18 in 2016; old enough to vote. The majority of my class is politically aware, and I thought it would be cool to share with RedMaryland on a show maybe sometime the points of view held by young people, new voters, on the issues, and general positions/ ideology. I could call in and one of you guys, the host, could ask me questions about what young people think about certain issues, who they're tending to lean towards on different issues, possible reasons why, etc... I think your Republican Nominee for President 2016 list ought to have a button for "None of the Above." Thank you. I am prepared to move to Delaware if Brown gets elected. More people die from Prostate Cancer than Breast Cancer, but balls are ugly and breast are beautiful. The don geronimo show is a west cost pod cast. Should not be invloved in an east cost podcast contest, also the host is a bully, a terrorist, and all around bad person. Sports teams should not wear pink unless it is their team colors. It is a distraction. Also, your questionnaire requires you to pick a choice, even if you picked "Other." This is the weirdest most specific quiz ever. Only DnM fans from Maryland and only the conservatives? Get the Progressives Dems out of Maryland Since your poll didn't work properly I had to choose MD Public TV since I didn't see WMAL or 98.3 Star FM in Southern Maryland. Although I never watch MD Public TV since I have Direct TV. Maybe that is good we are always forgotten - keep you big city folk and your Plan Maryland ideas to yourself. When you fail to include 'none of the above for every question, you're just playing push-poll like the liberals you claim to despise. Its so hard to be a member of the stupid party.... It's an expensive marketing ploy. The Langer Cast Sucks. I couldn't be any happier that he's off of Red Maryland. The MDLP has approx 14,000 voters should Larry Hogan target those voters? or if he has what has he done to reach out to them? Libertarians do not vote for Democrats, at least not in this race. - Kirk I have heard some candidates say the phrase that "the worse Republican is better than the best Democrat". I respectfully disagree. I would like to believe that, but when Republicans in this state support and elect candidates that are ethically immoral or just flat out extremist, a Democrat centrist will win the day. Until Republicans start electing candidates that have impeccable character and refrain from lying, corruption, and issues with their private lives that send a bad message of their integrity, Republicans will always be on the losing end of elections in Maryland. Big o and dukes should have been on this questionnaire, they do a quality show. I use online Fox News Channel for much of my political news (national). I don't do much print media reading, but instead use multiple online sources to compare stories and spin. I shave my back. It's bad. I'm part Ewok. Suggest to Bob Ehrlich that he move out of Maryland! Since there is so much negativity about conservatives in the main stream media, please keep criticism of conservatives to a minimum, and only when absolutely necessary. Restore a Constitutional Republic; implement NESARA; in MD repeal duplicitous and unconstitutional laws, repeal the most recent 40 tax laws, reject ObamaCare, reject Common Core, reject ploicies of gov't control over society, reject policies which promote and advance the dependency culture, promote and advance policies which encourage and reward self- sufficiency, independence, entrepreneureship Keep doing a great job! The Don geronamo show is not good enough to be listed here , Mitt Romney, or Chris Christie will become the next potus #45. The country will never swing for a radical, they want pragmatic leaders - rational diplomat as commander in chief - problem solvers, not idealists. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and the others irrational wing nuts will screw the party's chances if ever winning. THEY ALIENATE people. You can't win an election and be deaf to rational bipartisan solutions at times. You need to be a moderate, but conservative. You don't need to be 100% aligned with platform. Give love a chance Mittmentum 3.0 third time's the charm!! Reagan ran twice before, until finally being elected president Don Quinn is a fiasco as a candidate. I have felt let down by the Republican party in the past. Things have not improved much lately. Will change my affiliation if this cycle does not show improvement. STOP islam! There are definitely some news outlets who do more serious investigative reporting than others. They may still have their biases but there is a big difference between those reporters and the ones which basically just reprocess and spit back federal, state, and local government press releases. The ones I really distrust are ones who are more interested in nurturing relationships with those in power by handling them with kid gloves, the ones who want to be spoon fed "scoops" that make their jobs easy, rather than going for the hard hitting investigations that might annoy those in power. The public has no need for such reporters, I mean we could just read govt press releases if we want or ensuring they always get an opposing opinion to what the press release says. The public really have no need for reporters like that. Blogs have stronger biases than mainstream press. Obviously a story on Red Maryland is going to be republican biased. But bias is distinct from accuracy. Bias is about choosing which facts to report on, and what opinions are expressed. That can be acceptable so long as it is clear what is opinion and so long as you get your news from multiple soures. Accuracy is about getting the basic facts right, and in fact many mainstream news outlets are not more accurate than what you might find on blogs. For example the most popular news outlets seem to get science wrong EVERY TIME. Trust but verify when it comes to the press. If something is important, look up the original source. why force answers for questions, when none of the above is not an option? Romney is the only one I know much about. Cruz might be great in the party, but nationally he has been trashed already. How about Portman? You should have included a third gender option. Hogan for Governor I will vote for Brian Griffiths for anything stop using snarky language in your polls Get Off My Lawn! I cannot leave Maryland what do I do to keep my sanity with the democratic run state?
